Monoclonal internal image anti-idiotype antibodies of Theileria sergenti merozoite surface antigen.
Monoclonal anti-idiotype antibodies against monoclonal antibody (23C11) to intraerythrocytic merozoites of Theileria sergenti were prepared and examined by indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Three anti-idiotype antibodies containing antibodies against interspecies cross-reactive idiotopes and/or an internal image of Theileria sergenti merozoite were found. The presence of antibody against Theileria sergenti was shown by ELISA in these anti-idiotype antibodies induced anti-anti-idiotype antibodies.
