Summary: This paper concerns the $\mathrm{KK}$-theory of the class $\mathcal{C}$ of Elliott-Thomsen algebras, with special emphasis on the problem of when a $\mathrm{KK}$-element can be represented by a homomorphism between two such $C^*$-alge\-bras (allowing the tensor product with a matrix algebra for the codomain algebra), and gives an existence theorem for a certain subclass of $\mathcal{C}$ which we denote by $\mathcal{C}_\mathcal{O}$.
