Characterization and epitope mapping of human monoclonal antibodies to PDC-E2, the immunodominant autoantigen of primary biliary cirrhosis [PDF]

, 1992
Further to define the epitopes of PDC-E2, the major autoantigen in primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), we have developed and characterized five human monoclonal antibodies. These antibodies were derived by fusing a regional hepatic lymph node from a patient

Selection, transmission, and reversion of an antigen-processing cytotoxic T-lymphocyte escape mutation in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 infection [PDF]

, 2004
Numerous studies now support that human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) evolution is influenced by immune selection pressure, with population studies showing an association between specific HLA alleles and mutations within defined cytotoxic T ...

Variants of human chorionic gonadotropin from pregnant women and tumor patients recognized by monoclonal antibodies [PDF]

, 1993
In biological fluids, hCG and its free alpha- (hCG alpha) and beta-subunits (hCG beta), occur in multiple forms. These various forms differ at the molecular level primarily in glycosylation, but also differ in protein backbone modifications corresponding

Recombinantly Expressed Chimeric Fibers Demonstrate Discrete Type-Specific Neutralizing Epitopes in the Fowl Aviadenovirus E (FAdV-E) Fiber, Promoting the Optimization of FAdV Fiber Subunit Vaccines towards Cross-Protection in vivo

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Vaccines against inclusion body hepatitis in chickens are complicated by the involvement of antigenically diverse fowl adenovirus types. Though immunization with fiber protein confers robust protection, type specificity of fiber antibodies is an obstacle
