[1] IDIOTYPIC NETWORKS AND MOLECULAR MIMICRY 25 immunizing rabbits with antisubstance P antibodies. These anti-idiotypic antibodies inhibited the spasmogenic action of substance P on the guinea pig ileum. They specifically enhanced phospholipid turnover in rat parotid gland cells, a physiological function mediated through an activation of substance P receptors, in a similar way to substance P.

Two of the immunized rabbits developed signs of muscular weakness resembling the symptoms of myasthenia gravis. These findings prompted the authors to propose that a similar mechanism may play a role in the etiology of at least some autoimmune disorders in which antibodies to various other receptors may be involved. Anti-idiotypic Antibodies to Substance P Receptors Polyclonal antibodies raised against substance P were characterized for their specificity toward substance P and about 30 substance P-related peptides.

[1] IDIOTYPIC NETWORKS AND MOLECULAR MIMICRY 13 T15 antibodies were able to induce in vitro an anti-PC plaque-forming cell (PFC) response in the absence of the antigen. McNamara et al. 28 have induced effective immunity and protection against a lethal dose of S. p n e u m o n i a e in mice using the monoclonal anti-idiotypic antibody 4C1 1. Interestingly, the monoclonal antibody in its unaltered form did not induce anti-streptococcal immunity nor any significant increase in the effective antibody idiotype.
