Abstract: |
Methods and antibody compositions are provided for the diagnosis and treatment of lupus nephritis. By employing B-cells of a lupus nephritis host with a fusion partner, antibodies can be obtained, which may serve as immunogens for the production of antiidiotypic antibodies, which may then be used for diagnosis and therapy of lupus nephritis.
