Anti‐idiotypes against Autoantibodies in Normal Immunoglobulins: Evidence for Network Regulation of Human Autoimmune Responses

TL;DR: It is suggested that IVIg may be efficient in selected autoimmune diseases by providing a source of anti-idiotypes with a wide range of specificities brought as interconnected antibody species that may conpensate for altered connectivity of the immune network of patients with autoimmune diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Natural antibodies to factor VIII (anti-hemophilic factor) in healthy individuals.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that polyclonal IgG antibodies against procoagulant FVIII are present in healthy individuals as well as natural IgG autoantibodies and/or antibodies directed against epitopes associated with a so far unidentified allotypic polymorphism of the human FV III molecule.
Journal ArticleDOI

V region-mediated selection of autoreactive repertoires by intravenous immunoglobulin (i.v.Ig).

TL;DR: In addition to its use as substitute therapy for primary and secondary immunodeficiencies, intravenous immunoglobulin (i.v.Ig) is increasingly being used as an immunomodulating therapy in the treatment of patients with a variety of autoimmune and systemic inflammatory disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Normal immunoglobulin G (IgG) for therapeutic use (intravenous Ig) contain antiidiotypic specificities against an immunodominant, disease-associated, cross-reactive idiotype of human anti-thyroglobulin autoantibodies.

TL;DR: Results support the concept that IVIg may be beneficial in selected autoimmune diseases by modulating the function of the idiotypic network.
