Abstract

The cytotoxic monoclonal antibodies Ep 1 and Ep 2 are directed against human T-cells recognizing structures different from the antigens Leu 1 to 5. Our results, so far, encourage the investigation of these antibodies as substitution of ATG in transplantation medicine.

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.
