    Journal: Protein Pept Lett; 2004 Aug; 11(4):367-75. PubMed ID: 15327370.
    Abstract:
    Application of complementary B and T cell epitopes in inducing anti-idiotypic and anti-clonotypic antibodies capable of regulating or suppressing the autoimmune responses in experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis (EAMG), allergic neuritis (EAN) and allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) has been the stimulus of many research efforts. Studies on the idiotypic/anti-idiotypic network of anti-La/SSB positive sera from patients with Sjogren's Syndrome (SS) and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and on animals immunized with the complementary epitopes are presented.
