As the 21st century approaches, infections caused by encapsulated bacteria, specifically group B streptococci, Escherichia coli and Neisseria meningitidis remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality in infants and young children [1,7,11,25,36]. Despite the availability of effective anti-microbia

## Genetic control of anti-idiotypic vaccination against coronavirus infection The idiotypic network can be experimentally altered to induce protective immune responses against microbial pathogens. Both internal image and noninternal image anti-idiotypic (anti-Id) antibodies have been shown to tri
Rabbit anti-rat anti-human thyrotropin anti-idiotypic antibodies have been raised. These antibodies were active at the thyrotropin (TSH) receptor, in that they inhibited 125I-labeled bovine TSH binding to thyroid plasma membranes, stimulated adenylate cyclase activity through a guanyl nucleotide-dep
## Abstract We raised an antihuman thyrotropin antiβidiotypic antibody and showed that it was active at the thyrotropin receptor. Thus this antibody inhibited ^125^I bβTSH binding to thyroid plasma membranes, stimulated adenylate cyclase activity through a guanyl nucleotideβdependent mechanism, inc
