A major antimyoglobin idiotype. Influence of H-2-1inked lr genes in idiotype expression
Idiotypic determinants are the antigenically unique sites of the variable regions of immunoglobulin molecules, which distinguish antibodies of different specificities, and are defined by antiidiotypic antibodies (1-5). Because the variable region sequence determines both antibody specificity and idi...
