Abstract excerpt
Most (80 to 90%) primary antibodies specific for the Sb site of influenza virus (A/PR/8/34) hemagglutinin share an Id (designated C4). Secondary antihemagglutinin(Sb) antibodies also exhibit the C4 Id although less frequently (10 to 15%). We have analyzed the V region nucleotide sequences of primary and secondary antibodies with the C4 Id. Primary C4 antibodies are encoded by the same Vk gene, belonging to the...
