Auto-anti-Pra: a 'second' example in a newborn

British Journal of Haematology
B HabibiC Salmon

Abstract

A second example of anti-Pra was recognized in a newborn infant which exhibited several signs of development disease. The antibody was complement-fixing 19S IgM and showed a high thermal range but no detectable haemolytic anaemia was associated. It gave negative reactions with a panel of animal cells as well as with two samples of human En(a-) cells. The latter, however, could absorb the antibody.

Antibody Specificity

Antibodies produced by B cells are highly specific for antigen as a result of random gene recombination and somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. As the main effector of the humoral immune system, antibodies can neutralize foreign cells. Find the latest research on antibody specificity here.
