BALB/c mice immunized with phosphorylcholine (PC) produce antibodies which are predominantly of the T15 idiotype. Monoclonal anti-T15 antibodies were generated in a number of laboratories by allogenic or syngenic immunization. Most of these mouse monoclonal antibodies react with idiotopes that are in or near the PC-binding site and require the presence of both T15 H and T15 L chain variable regions. By immunizing rats with T15 Ig, monoclonal antibodies were obtained that recognize idiotopes that are not near the antigen-binding site. Four of these rat anti-T15 monoclonal antibodies react with free T15 H chains and with T15 H chains associated with irrelevant L chains while 4 other rat monoclonal antibodies require the presence of both T15 H and T15 L chains. This battery of rat anti-T15 monoclonal antibodies is useful in searching for heterogeneity within the T15 antibodies and in following the expression of the T15 H chain variable region in different strains of mice.
