A murine B cell lymphoma (38C13) was used as a model to study the induction of idiotype (Id)-specific tumor immunity. Immunization of syngeneic mice with Id protein derived from the tumor resulted in the production of anti-Id antibodies by the host and in the induction of a state of resistance to tumor growth. Tumor immunity could be established only if the Id protein was conjugated to a strongly immunogenic carrier protein such as keyhole limpet hemocyanin or thyroglobulin, and if the conjugate was administered at least 1 week prior to tumor challenge. Free Id protein, such as that present in tumor bearing animals, was found to inhibit tumor immunity in a dose-dependent manner. Although tumor immunity could be induced in animals with pre-existent serum Id protein, the expression of the immune state was inhibited by the presence of the soluble protein.
