Abstract

We have investigated the properdin factor B(Bf) polymorphism in relation to lymphocytotoxic antibody production. The Bf phenotypes of 1,113 individuals was determined; these consisted of 360 cytotoxic antibody-negative normal healthy controls, 293 HLA typing antisera, 330 sera from pregnant multiparous women, and 130 renal patients awaiting cadaveric transplantation. The allotype BfF was found to be strongly associated with cytotoxic antibody production in multiparous women.

Antibody-Dependent Cell Cytotoxicity

Antibody-dependent cellular toxicity refers to the lysis of a target cell by a non-sensitized effector cell of the immune system as a result of antibodies binding to the target cell membrane and engaging the Fc receptors on the immune effector cells.
