abstract: Two of the founders of modern immunology, Henry G. Kunkel and Jacques Oudin, died recently. Since they were responsible for the discovery and naming of immunoglobulin idiotypes it was appropriate at a recent meeting to consider our present understanding of the role of idiotypes in the immune system.
