An anti-DNA antibody idiotype (Id), termed 0-81 Id, was in the antigen-binding sites of human IgM monoclonal anti-single stranded (ss) DNA antibodies secreted from the 0-81 clone, derived from a patient with active lupus nephritis (1, 2). The 0-81 Id was specifically detected in circulating immune complex IgG and renal immune deposits of patients with lupus nephritis (3, 4). The paratopes of 0-81 were responsible for the idiotypic expression of 0-81 (unpublished data). These findings suggested that the sequence analysis of 0-81 may contribute to understanding the origin of pathogenic autoantibodies in humans. Poly (A+) RNA was prepared from cells of 0-81 clone by using Micro Fast Track (Invitrogen, San Diego, CA) and used to prepare ss-cDNA which was primed with oligo-d (T) 12_18 primer. For amplification of the variable regions by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) the following primers were used: VH3-leader 5'ATGGAGTTTGGGCTGAGC 3', CIL 5'TGGAAGAGGCACGTTCTTTTC 3', Vk2-leader 5'GAAGCTTA-TGAGGCTCCCTGCTC 3', Ck 5'TCTAGAACTAACACTCTCCCCTGTTGAAGCTCTTTGTGACGGGCAAG 3'. The products were digested by EcoRI (heavy chain) and HindM-XbaI (light chain), respectively, and were ligated into the vector pUC1 18. Sequences were determined by the chain termination method. To avoid misincorporation of TaqI polymerase, DNA amplification was independently performed three times and at least one clone was obtained at each time. The sequences of these clones were identical.The nucleotide sequences revealed VH3-DHQ52-JH4 and VK2-JK5. The VH segment of 0-81 showed the highest homology with the VHII germline H 1I gene (5), with86. 9% matching (leader-FR3). Itwas also86. 9% homologous with the FL2-2 gene obtained from cDNA library of fetal liver (6). The VK segment was 98.1% homologouswith the germline V6410 gene (7). It was suggested that the VK segment was encodedby the V6410 gene or its relative genes but the VH segment might be originated from an unreported VH3 germline gene.
