摘要: Anti-topoisomerase I autoantibodies (anti-topo I) are associated with proximal scleroderma and of prognostic significance in patients Raynaud's phenomenon. Polyclonal anti-idiotypic sera were raised against affinity-purified anti-topo from 2 (EM, SG) healthy individual (NM). All 3 preparations expressed immunodominant private Ids or near the antigen binding site autoantibody. Further analysis Id-EM showed isotypic restriction to IgG a stable Id-expression over course 9 years. Id-SG Id-NM on IgA. The idiotypic character closely resembles that anti-centromere which CREST syndrome scleroderma. data suggest an antigen-driven process origin
