The Homophilic Domain -----An Immunological Archetype
The homophilic potential emerges as an important biological principle to boost the potency of immunoglobulins. Since homophilic antibodies in human and mouse sera exist prior environmental exposure they are part of the natural antibody repertoire ...

Mining human antibody repertoires [PDF]
Human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have become drugs of choice for the management of an increasing number of human diseases. Human antibody repertoires provide a rich source for human mAbs. Here we review the characteristics of natural and non-natural human antibody repertoires and their mining with non-combinatorial and combinatorial strategies. In

Selection of neutralizing antibody escape mutants with type A influenza virus HA-specific polyclonal antisera: possible significance for antigenic drift [PDF]
Ten antisera were produced in rabbits by two or three intravenous injections of inactivated whole influenza type A virions. All contained haemagglutination-inhibition (HI) antibody directed predominantly to an epitope in antigenic site B and, in addition,

Fv antibodies to aflatoxin B1 derived from a pre-immunized antibody phage display library system [PDF]
The production and characterization of recombinant antibodies to aflatoxin B[SUB1] (AFB[SUB1]), a potent mycotoxin and carcinogen is described. The antibody fragments produced were then applied for use in a surface plasmon resonance-based biosensor ...

Diversity of IgG autoantibodies of 4 Chinese intravenous immunoglobulins
Objective To develop methods to display the IgG autoantibody repertoire of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) products, analyze the different types of antibodies and study the diversity of IgG autoantibody in 4 IVIG preparations from different Chinese ...

The architecture of the IgG anti-carbohydrate repertoire in primary antibody deficiencies (PADs). [PDF]
Immune system failure in primary antibody deficiencies (PADs) has been linked to recurrent infections, autoimmunity and cancer, yet clinical judgment is often based on the reactivity to a restricted panel of antigens. Previously, we demonstrated that the

Heterosubtypic neutralizing monoclonal antibodies cross-protective against H5N1 and H1N1 recovered from human IgM+ memory B cells [PDF]
Background: The hemagglutinin (HA) glycoprotein is the principal target of protective humoral immune responses to influenza virus infections but such antibody responses only provide efficient protection against a narrow spectrum of HA antigenic variants ...

Marginal zone B cells: virtues of innate-like antibody-producing lymphocytes [PDF]
Protective responses to microorganisms involve the nonspecific but rapid defence mechanisms of the innate immune system, followed by the specific but slow defence mechanisms of the adaptive immune system. Located as sentinels at the interface between the
