abstractText | Strain C57BL/6 mice produce a highly restricted primary response to the (4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenyl)acetyl (NP) group. This response is composed of molecules having mu or gamma1 heavy chains and light chains of the lambda type. A guinea pig anti-idiotype was raised to the purified C57BL/6 primary anti-NP immunoglobulin. After suitable absorption, this anti-idiotype was shown to detect markers present on the primary anti-NP immunoglobulin only of those strains which express the Ig-1b allotype. Breeding experiments demonstrated that the marker segregated with the heavy chain linkage group. |
