A monoclonal antibody (8G11-C6) generated by an auto-anti-idiotypic route and directed to a site near the ligand-binding site of the glucocorticoid receptor also binds to native insulin and the B chain of insulin but not to the A chain of insulin. The glucocorticoid receptor and the B chain of insulin, therefore, share a cross-reacting epitope. Examination of the primary sequences of the two proteins revealed a limited number of regions of identity or close homology.

The immune system is under control by idiotypic-anti-idiotypic regulation. This control can operate according to dose of antigen, age of the individual, route of administration etc. and function as a specific stimulator or inhibitor of immune reactivity against a defined antigen.

Monoclonal antiadenosine receptor antibodies have been raised by an auto-anti-idiotypic approach. BALB/c mice were immunized with adenosine 6-aminocaproyl-bovine serum albumin. Hybridoma cell lines were raised and lines that secreted antibodies that bound to rabbit antiadenosine antibodies were obtained.

The resulting hybridomas were screened for anti-idiotypic antibody (anti-antisteroid) with Fab fragments of affinity-purified polyclonal rabbit anti-triamcinolone antibody. The anti-idiotypes were then screened for binding to rat cytosol glucocorticoid receptor by a depletion procedure, yielding a clone, 8G11-C6, whose specificity for receptor was verified by sucrose density and Western blot analyses.
