Open Unknowns (1)

Unknown Whether Jerne's idiotypic network theory can be validated using modern B-cell receptor (BCR) repertoire sequencing, and whether idiotypic network topology measurably differs between healthy individuals and those with autoimmune disease u-idiotypic-network-clinical-validation

Active Hypotheses

Hypothesis Autoimmune diseases represent bifurcations of the idiotypic network to pathological attractors where self-reactive clones are stabilised by mutual idiotypic stimulation, and this bifurcation is detectable as a qualitative change in BCR repertoire network topology before clinical symptom onset high
