Abstract

A method for determination of specificity and activity of the inflammatory process is described. The method is based on the reaction of immunocytoadherence between granulocytes with the round nucleus (nuclei) and microorganisms. The method is sensitive, as the phagocytic reaction is inhibited and the patient's blood cells interact with microbial cells due to the presence of immunoglobulins or receptors of the immunoglobulin nature, active against the causative agent of the disease, on the blood cell surface. The values of immunocytoadherence in tuberculosis, brucellosis and pneumonia are presented.

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.
