Additionally, secondary antibodies can be further purified by passage through columns containing immobilized serum proteins from species other than those used to immunize the host. This method of cross-adsorption (often referred to as "Highly Cross-Adsorbed...
Antibodies are proteins produced in vertebrates in response to certain substances. Antibodies are an important element of the so-called humoral (antibody-mediated) immunity. They belong to the gamma globulin fraction and are also called immunoglobulins (Ig). ...
for the development of therapeutic proteins are available [2–17]. Originating frequently in academic environments, several protein formats have proven to be robust enough to support their clinical application. This has subsequently triggered significant interest and ‘buy-in’ from pharmaceutical ...
The heavy and light chains of human IgG proteins are expressed in structural polymorphic (allotypic) forms. Human IgG allotype has been considered as one of the many factors that can contribute to immunogenicity.6 The general scheme of a monoclonal antibody development program is described in ref...
Proteins in the gel were transferred to a PVDF membrane; membranes were blocked in 5% (w/v) non-fat dry milk dissolved in PBS, 0.05% Tween-20, and blotted overnight at 4 °C using a cocktail of antibodies to gp120 (2 mg ml À 1 each of b12, 2G12 and 447-52D) and to gp41...
In the present work we investigated sera of MN patients using a high-density peptide array covering the whole coding sequences of the human genome encompassing 7,499,126 tiled peptides. A panel of 21 proteins reactive to MN sera were identified. We focused our attention on Formin-like 1 (...
These antibodies belong to the immunoglobulin (Ig) classes A and G. It was proven that the diagnostically relevant EMA, ARA, and JEA binding patterns in serum samples from CD patients are exclusively TG2 autoantibody (TGA) dependent, thus TG2 was identified as the CD autoantigen [21]. TG2...
[23,24,25]. C5 is cleaved by C5-convertase during complement activation cascade into two proteins: C5a—a chemoattractant for leukocytes and C5b that is involved in the formation of membrane attacking complex. The complex invades a cell membrane leading to its disruption and cell lysis. In ...
