Early Publications on Anti-Id Vaccines
Below are various clinical trial and summary papers detailing the progress
of the BIOVAXID vaccine:
Kwak et al, 1992 publication reporting on the use of Stanford anti-idiotype
vaccine:

B-cell lymphoma against the surface-immunoglobulin idiotype expressed by their
tumors. N Engl J Med 1992; 327(17): 1209-15
In 1996, Kwak, et al. published on the use of simulatenous, free granulocyte/monocyte-colony
stimulating factor (GM-CSF):
Kwak LW, Young H, et al. Vaccination with syngeneic, lymphoma-derived immunoglobulin
idiotype combined with granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor primes
mice for a protective T-cell response. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci USA 1996; 93:10972-10977
