Abstract
One of the mechanisms capable of regulating an immune response involves the interaction of idiotypes and anti-idiotypes. In selected nontumor systems it has been shown that anti-idiotypic immunity can very specifically either suppress or stimulate immune responses (for review see Eichmann 1978). Thus, antiidiotypic reagents may provide powerful tools for manipulating the induction or course of the host’s immune responses to malignant cells.
