The Use of High Initial Doses of Botulinum Toxin Therapy for Cervical Dystonia Is a Risk Factor for Neutralizing Antibody Formation—A Monocentric Cross-Sectional Pilot Study [PDF]
Background and Objectives: The present study aims to analyze the complex patient/treating physician interaction at onset of botulinum toxin (BoNT) therapy in patients with idiopathic cervical dystonia (CD) and the influence of high initial doses on long ...

Circulating T follicular helper cells are a biomarker of humoral alloreactivity and predict donor-specific antibody formation after transplantation. [PDF]
Donor‐specific antibodies (DSAs) contribute to renal allograft loss. However, biomarkers to guide clinical management of DSA posttransplant or detect humoral alloimmune responses before alloantibodies develop are not available.

Lentiviral gene therapy prevents anti-human acid α-glucosidase antibody formation in murine Pompe disease [PDF]
Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) is the current standard treatment for Pompe disease, a lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA).

TLR9-Activating CpG-B ODN but Not TLR7 Agonists Triggers Antibody Formation to Factor IX in Muscle Gene Transfer. [PDF]
Innate immune signals that promote B cell responses in gene transfer are generally ill-defined. In this study, we evaluate the effect of activating endosomal Toll-like receptors 7, 8, and 9 (TLR7, TLR7/8, and TLR9) on antibody formation during muscle ...

THE NATURAL-SELECTION THEORY OF ANTIBODY FORMATION
An immense amount of experimental data related to the problem of antibody formation has accumulated. Theories offering a basic interpretation of these observations have, in contrast, been few.

Antidrug Antibody Formation in Oncology: Clinical Relevance and Challenges. [PDF]
: In oncology, an increasing number of targeted anticancer agents and immunotherapies are of biological origin. These biological drugs may trigger immune responses that lead to the formation of antidrug antibodies (ADAs).

Fc Gamma Receptors and Complement Component 3 Facilitate Anti-fVIII Antibody Formation [PDF]
Anti-factor VIII (fVIII) alloantibodies, which can develop in patients with hemophilia A, limit the therapeutic options and increase morbidity and mortality of these patients.

THE FORMATION AND PROPERTIES OF POLIOVIRUS-NEUTRALIZING ANTIBODY [PDF]
Rapid formation of poliovirus-neutralizing antibody was observed in the rabbit. 19S type antibody was detectable 8 to 12 hours following a single intravenous virus injection and the induction period was of the order of 4 to 5 hours or less.
