Specific Suppression of the Antibody Response by Antibodies to Receptors [PDF]
Balb/c myeloma proteins, TEPC 15 and MOPC 167, bind phosphorylcholine and precipitate with the C-polysaccharide moiety of pneumococci R36A. Anti-idiotypic antibodies to TEPC 15 myeloma raised in A/He mice prevent plaque formation by cells releasing antibody to phosphorylcholine and inhibit induction of the antibody response to ...

Antigenic modulation limits the efficacy of anti-CD20 antibodies: implications for antibody selection [PDF]
Rituximab, a monoclonal antibody which targets CD20 on B-cells, is now central to the treatment of a variety of malignant and autoimmune disorders. Despite this success a substantial proportion of B-cell lymphomas are unresponsive or develop resistance ...

Strategies for immunohistochemical protein localization using antibodies: What did we learn from neurotransmitter transporters in glial cells and neurons [PDF]
Immunocytochemistry and Western blotting are still major methods for protein localization, but they rely on the specificity of the antibodies. Validation of antibody specificity remains challenging mostly because ideal negative controls are often ...

Unconstrained generation of synthetic antibody–antigen structures to guide machine learning methodology for antibody specificity prediction [PDF]
Machine learning (ML) is a key technology for accurate prediction of antibody–antigen binding. Two orthogonal problems hinder the application of ML to antibody-specificity prediction and the benchmarking thereof: the lack of a unified ML formalization of

Detection of myositis-specific antibodies [PDF]
It was with much interest that we read the recent European League Against Rheumatism/American College of Rheumatology classification criteria for idiopathic inflammatory myopathies.1 These criteria include Jo-1 autoantibodies, and the authors discussed that future updates of the criteria should also include the more recently identified myositis ...
