Drug-induced antibodies: interaction of the drug with a polymorphic platelet-antigen

Tissue Antigens
F H ClaasJ J van Rood

Abstract

Preincubation of donor platelets with ticarcillin will prevent the reactivity of a platelet antibody against these platelets, whereas no influence was observed on antisera against HLA, 5A, 5b and ZWa. The implications for the mechanism of drug-induced antibodies with restricted specificity will be discussed.

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.
