The present invention describes the generation of an anti-idiotype single-chain Fv (scFv) antibody specific for the murine (RFB4), chimeric (SM03) and humanized (SM06) versions of an anti-CD22 antibody (the anti-CD22 antibodies). The present invention further describes the construction of a murine IgG2a / kappa immunoglobulin carrying the variable region sequences of the anti-idiotype scFv sequences. Additionally, the present invention provides a cell line capable of producing an anti-idiotype murine antibody specific for the anti-CD22 antibodies. The present invention is directed against a method for identifying and evaluating the activities and concentration of the anti-CD22 antibodies. Additionally, the present invention provides a method for evaluating serum concentration of the anti-CD22 antibodies that are being used clinically. The present invention is also directed against a method to detect HAMA, HACA and HAHA responses in patients treated with the anti-CD22 antibodies. Specifically, the present invention is directed against the establishment of a cell line expressing surface concentration of the antibody of the invention; the said cell line expressing surface anti-idiotype antibodies or antibody fragments will be used as the target cell line for evaluating the functional activities of the anti-CD22 antibodies via complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) and / or antibody dependent cell cytotoxicity (ADCC) activities.

The present invention provides a monoclonal and-idiotype antibody 11D10 that elicits an immune response against a specific epitope of a high molecular weight mucin of human milk fat globule (HMFG) and a hybridoma that produces 11D10. The hybridoma that produces 11D10 was selected by specific procedures. 11D10 inducts an Immunological response to HMFG in mice, rabbits, monkeys and patients with advanced HMFG-associated tumors. This invention provides compositions derived from polynucleotide sequences encoding the variable light and / or variable heavy regions of monoclonal anti-idiotype antibody 11D10, as well as polypeptides encoded thereby. The invention also provides compositions which can be used in the detection or treatment of HMFG-associated tumors.

A method of stimulating an immune response in a human against malignant cells or an infectious agent comprises the step of administering to the human an immunogenic amount of a primate anti-idiotype antibody or antibody fragment that acts as an immunogenic functional mimic of an antigen produced by or associated with a malignant cell or an infectious agent. Sub-human primate anti-idiotype antisera, especially from baboons, are preferred. Such anti-idiotype antibodies are used to make vaccines for inducing preventive immunity or a therapeutic immune response against tumors, viruses, bacteria, rickettsia, mycoplasma, protozoa, fungi and multicellular parasites.

The invention belongs to the biotechnical field and relates to nano antibody-based deoxynivalenol mimic antigen and application thereof. The amino acid sequence is shown in SEQIDNO:1. The invention further relates to nucleotide which codes the amino acid. The nano antibody-based deoxynivalenol mimic antigen provided by the invention can be used for replacing a DON (deoxynivalenol) standard substance which is high in price and strong in toxicity and is used as competitive antigen or solid phase coated antigen which is applied to immunological detection of DON. The mimic antigen has an immunoreaction characteristic which is similar to that of a natural DON molecule and is good in effect. Compared with conventional polypeptide-based antigen mimic epitopes and IgG-based conventional anti-idiotype antibody, VHH has the characteristics of being more stable in structure, resistant to acid and base and high temperature, high in detection sensitivity and the like. Therefore, the immunodetection stability is extremely enhanced, and meanwhile, the endurance capacity on the environment is further enhanced.

A method for identifying molecules which mimic an idiotype of an autoimmune disease-associated auto-antibody (autoantibodies). The method comprises the following steps: (a) purifying autoantibodies from sera of one or more patients afflicted with the autoimmune disease; (b) binding the autoantibodies to a solid phase to form an affinity matrix; (c) contacting pooled plasma or B cells comprising immunoglobulins with the affinity matrix followed by removal of unbound plasma components; (d) eluting bound immunoglobulins, being anti-Idiotypic antibodies (anti-Id) to autoantibodies, from the matrix; (e) providing a molecular library comprising a plurality of molecule members; and (e) contacting the anti-Id with the molecular library and isolating those bound molecules which are bound by the anti-Id, the bound molecules being molecules which mimic an idiotype of autoantibodies. Also disclosed are such molecules.

Provided are isolated and purified preparations of a combination of a light chain antibody gene and a heavy chain antibody gene, where the light chain and heavy chain antibody genes are the same among more than one patient with B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL). Vectors comprising those genes and cells comprising those vectors are also provided, as are isolated and purified antibodies encoded by the antibody genes. Anti-idiotype antibodies, peptides, and aptamers that bind to the antigen-binding region of an antibody encoded by the antibody genes are additionally provided, as are multimeric molecules comprising multiple binding sites that bind to the antigen-binding region of an antibody encoded by the antibody genes. Methods of determining whether a patient with B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) has a form of B-CLL that is susceptible to treatment directed to eliminating idiotype specific B cell receptor-bearing B-CLL cells are also provided, as are methods of following the progression of treatment of B-CLL in the patient. Additionally, methods of treating a patient having B-CLL are provided, as are methods of identifying a therapeutic agent for B-CLL.
