The contribution of autoimmune phenomena to the development of AIDS is not fully understood. In this paper we provide new evidence that idiotypic network interactions are operative in the development of AIDS. We furthermore present a model that involves two groups of antibodies and other molecules that are related to each other by a network of specific complementarities. We define Group I molecules to include antibodies and other molecules that have direct or indirect similarities with class I MHC molecules, and Group II substances that have similarities with class II MHC. We observe an inverse relationship between Group I antibodies (including anti-Fab) and Group II antibodies (including anti-anti-gp120, anti-anti-CD8 and anti-rCD4). The potential roles of members of these two groups in AIDS pathogenesis and/or protection are discussed.
