Abstract

In Rh-negative volunteers immunized for development of anti-D antibodies the specificity of developed anti-leucocyte antibodies was determined. The specificity of these antibodies was analysed in relation to HL-A antigenic differences determined in donors and recipients. The antigenic power of sublocus II was found to be superior to that of sublocus I. Another observation was more frequent production of cross-reacting antibodies. A trial of analysis of these volunteers in whom no antileucocyte antibodies developed during immunization with blood was undertaken.

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.
