Abstract excerpt
Using computer-aided techniques for predicting molecular structure, we constructed an atomic model of the variable domain of a murine anti-thyroglobulin antibody whose immunodominant idiotypic determinant (Id62) was mapped by site-directed mutagenesis and immunochemical analysis. We previously showed that under experimental conditions this idiotype activates anti-idiotypic B cells and T cells, and modulates the...
