Here we review the B-1 subset of lymphocytes which produce self-reactive antibodies. By analyzing the IgM class of natural antibodies that recognize antigens from the nervous system, we emphasize ...

Our initial goals were to generate lymphocyte-depleting antibodies, antibodies to all lymphocytes and antibodies to the main subsets of lymphocytes. The hypothesis was that if we could debulk ...

Lymphokines are 1 of the 2 soluble products of lymphocytes, the other being antibodies. Lymphokines and monokines (released from monocytes) are inflammatory and regulatory hormones of the immune ...

Medically reviewed by Doru Paul, MD Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a special test used by pathologists to detect specific ...

creating large numbers of identical lymphocytes bearing that particular receptor. Antibodies and antitoxins are highly specific to the antigen or toxin that is made by the pathogen. That is why we ...

It is unclear if and when monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that stimulate antibody-mediated cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) can be used for treatment because this depends on the presence of functional ...

However, when a pathogen invades the body with different antigens, specialised cells called lymphocytes produce antibodies which attach to the foreign antigens, disabling and destroying them.
