Abstract

A human glycophorine A specific murine monoclonal antibody mediates the antibody dependent killing of antibody sensitized human erythrocytes by human K cells (monocyte-free mononuclear cells). The overall level of killing is lower than that mediated by conventional, human anti-D antibodies but it is significant on each target cell.

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.

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.
