Soluble MHC Ags and anti-Id (anti-anti-MHC) Abs have both been shown to inhibit MHC alloantigen-specific B cell responses in vivo. We hypothesized that some anti-idiotypic Abs function as divalent molecular mimics of soluble HLA alloantigen. To test this idea, we studied two well-defined anti-idiotypic mAbs, T10-505 and T10-938, elicited in syngeneic BALB/c mice by immunization with CRll-351, an...
