Zusammenfassung:The invention concerns chimeric antiidiotypic monoclonal antibodies consisting of human constant regions and murine variable regions of an antibody which recognizes antibodies directed against HLA class II antigens, and derivatives thereof which retain the specificity of the chimeric antibody from which they are derived. These chimeric antiidiotypic monoclonal antibodies and derivatives have immune-regulatory functions and can therefore be used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, such as the treatment of autoimmune diseases.
