Application of complementary B and T cell epitopes in inducing anti-idiotypic and anticlonotypic 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 Erythematous (SLE) and oil animals immunized with the complementary epitopes are presented.
