Abstract:
1F7 is a monoclonal antibody that recognizes an idiotypic determinant expressed on primate antibodies binding to HIV-1 and hepatitis C proteins. This monoclonal antibody was used as a tool to dissect the immune response in humans infected with HIV-1 and hepatitis B. Furthermore, 1F7 was also used to manipulate the immune response against HIV-1 in macaques. The generation of a monoclonal antibody describing a network suggests similar antibodies could be developed as tools to dissect entangled networks in autoimmune diseases and allergic reactions. This review discusses the body of work done with 1F7 in the light of contemporary immunology.
