Anti - Phosphocholine Hybridoma Antibodies

Three major groups of antibodies have been identified during the analysis of the clonal response to phosphoeholine (PC). t The predominant one shows multiple molecular features of the PC-binding myeloma protein (PC-BMP) TEPC 15 (1-3), and two others possess idiotypes (Id) and L-chain characteristics of two other PCBMP, M511 (2, 4) and M603 (5). All three Id groups are conserved in inbred mice (...

Detection of Anti-Ganglioside Antibodies in Guillain-Barre Syndrome

Anti-flavin antibodies.

Antibodies were elicited to FAD by using the hapten N-6-(6-aminohexyl)-FAD conjugated to the immunogenic carrier protein bovine serum albumin. Cross-reactivity was determined by Ouchterlony double-diffusion analysis with N-6-(6-aminohexyl)-FAD coupled to rabbit serum albumin. Anti-FAD IgG was partially purified by (NH4)2SO4 precipitation followed by DEAE-cellulose/CM-cellulose and bovine serum ...

Anti-phospholipid/Cofactor Antibodies

Following a meeting at Sapporo, Japan, an international consensus statement on preliminary classification criteria for definite anti-phospholipid syndrome was published.1 This set of criteria is divided into the clinical part which includes vascular thrombosis and pregnancy morbidity and the laboratory part which includes anti-cardiolipin (aCL) antibody and lupus anti-coagulant tests. Diagnosis...

Anti-integrin monoclonal antibodies.

Adhesion that is mediated by integrins is controlled dynamically to allow cell positioning and migration and to prevent abnormal trafficking and anchorage. Integrin signalling in response to ligand binding is achieved by a combination of receptor clustering and conformational changes. Both of these processes can be elicited from the inside of the cell (resulting in the acquisition of a highaffi...
