The present invention relates to monoclonal antibody 1A7. This is an anti-idiotype produced by immunizing with an antibody specific for ganglioside GD2, and identifying a hybridoma secreting antibody with immunogenic potential in a multi-step screening process. Also disclosed are polynucleotide and polypeptide derivatives based on 1A7, including single chain variable region molecules and fusion proteins, and various pharmaceutical compositions. When administered to an individual, the 1A7 antibody overcomes immune tolerance and induces an immune response against GD2, which comprises a combination of anti-GD2 antibody and GD2-specific T cells. The invention further provides methods for treating a disease associated with altered …

The present invention provides a monoclonal anti-idiotype antibody 3H1 that escapes immune tolerance and elicits a specific immune response to CEA in mice, rabbits, monkeys, and patients with advanced CEA-associated disease. This invention also provides compositions which can be used in the detection or treatment of CEA-associated tumors mimics a specific epitope on carcinoembryonic antigen and a hybridoma that produces 3H1.
