A quantitative comparison of whole antibody and F(ab')2 in kidney allograft enhancement. 1979

C G Winearls, and J W Fabre, and P R Millard, and P J Morris

Whole antiserum, IgG, and a greater than 99% pure F(ab')2 preparation were compared for their ability to enhance Lewis renal allografts in DA recipients. Despite having unimpaired antigen-binding capacity, the DA anti-Lewis F(ab')2 was virtually ineffective at the highest dose tested, and was calculated to be a minimum of 100 times less effective than whole antibody. The administration of a 10-fold excess of F(ab')2 before an effective dose of IgG did not block the enhancing effect of the latter.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007106 Immune Sera Serum that contains antibodies. It is obtained from an animal that has been immunized either by ANTIGEN injection or infection with microorganisms containing the antigen. Antisera,Immune Serums,Sera, Immune,Serums, Immune
D007140 Immunoglobulin Fab Fragments Univalent antigen-binding fragments composed of one entire IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAIN and the amino terminal end of one of the IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS from the hinge region, linked to each other by disulfide bonds. Fab contains the IMMUNOGLOBULIN VARIABLE REGIONS, which are part of the antigen-binding site, and the first IMMUNOGLOBULIN CONSTANT REGIONS. This fragment can be obtained by digestion of immunoglobulins with the proteolytic enzyme PAPAIN.
