Abstract

It has been shown that rausedyl administration is followed by enhanced synthesis of autoantibodies to serotonine and adrenaline. Meanwhile bucarban enhances the synthesis of autoantibodies to endogenous insulin and ACTH to hydrocortisone and testosterone. Activation of the autoimmune system of regulating the balance of endogenous compounds was shown by an increased number of specific antibody-producing cells in the organs and tissues and by the growth of the titer of circulating antibodies in the blood.

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.
