title: A new method for the preparation of anti-idiotypic antibodies against six different human cold agglutinins.
abstract: A method based on sequential immunoadsorption for the preparation of a highly specific antibody directed against the idiotypic determinant of human cold agglutinins (CA) is described. In the present study, human cold agglutinins (CA) were used as a model, but the method can easily be adapted for the preparation of anti-idiotypic antibodies against other monoclonal human immunoglobulins. Since regenerable immunoadsorbents were used, the isolation can be accomplished even with rather low amounts of the respective immunoglobulin.
