Abstract

The VL and VH from a murine anti-idiotypic antibody that mimics ganglioside have been cloned, sequenced, and expressed as a chimeric mouse/human IgG1 antibody. The chimeric antibody retained a binding specificity indistinguishable from the original murine antibody. The VH was a member of Vgam 3.8 family. The sequences are discussed in terms of ways in which proteins may mimic ganglioside epitopes.
