Specific binding of the pathogenic prion isoform: development and characterization of a humanized single-chain variable antibody fragment. [PDF]
Murine monoclonal antibody V5B2 which specifically recognizes the pathogenic form of the prion protein represents a potentially valuable tool in diagnostics or therapy of prion diseases. As murine antibodies elicit immune response in human, only modified

Unique allergen-specific human IgE monoclonal antibodies derived from patients with allergic disease
IntroductionAllergic reactions are mediated by human IgE antibodies that bind to and cross-link allergen molecules. The sites on allergens that are recognized by IgE antibodies have been difficult to investigate because of the paucity of IgE antibodies ...

Human monoclonal antibodies and monoclonal antibody multispecificity [PDF]
The majority of human anti-tumour monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) isolated to date have been disappointing. Firstly, they react or cross react with intracellular cytoskeletal proteins or nuclear antigens and therefore are of limited value as blood borne agents.

Antibody binding reports spatial heterogeneities in cell membrane organization [PDF]
The spatial organization of cell membrane glycoproteins and glycolipids is critical for mediating the binding of ligands, receptors, and macromolecules on the plasma membrane. However, we currently do not have the methods to quantify the spatial heterogeneities of macromolecular crowding on live cell surfaces.
