Antibodies

PALESE: There are some what we call antibodies because all of us have been infected with similar viruses so that we have some level of protection against this swine virus, this Mexican virus. ❋ Unknown (2009)

This may be expressed in another way: the percentage binding of labeled insulin to the antibodies is a function of the total insulin concentration in the solution. ❋ Unknown (1977)

ROBERT: I would contradict you on that, that the production of antibodies is how vaccines are measured in their effectiveness. ❋ Unknown (2010)

It may turn out that you are right, that even a small amount of diversity in the antibodies is selectable. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Antiphospholipid antibodies including RPR, lupus anticoagulant and anticardiolipin antibodies ❋ Unknown (2010)

The Immunology Lab offers both IgG and IgM anticardiolipin antibodies (ELISA) and IgG and IgMbeta-2 glycoprotein antibodies (ELISA). ❋ Unknown (2010)

Most patients with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome have elevated levels of anticardiolipin antibodies or anti-beta-2 glycoprotein antibodies. ❋ Unknown (2010)

This database of past diseases and how to survive them is unique to each individual and is written in the repertoire of proteins that we call antibodies – one population of antibodies for each pathogen disease-causing organism, precisely tailored by past ‘experience’ with the proteins that characterize the pathogen. ❋ RICHARD DAWKINS (2009)

“Identifying regions of the virus that are able to induce broadly reactive neutralising antibodies is a significant milestone in the development of a HCV vaccine, which will have distinct healthcare benefits for hepatitis sufferers, and could also help us design vaccines for other chronic viral diseases such as HIV”. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Immunebodies or antibodies is the designation of a group of proteins in the blood, that play an important part in the defense against infections and in the development of many different diseases. ❋ Unknown (1992)

This fabulous capacity to vary of antibodies is known since ❋ Unknown (1987)

The structure of the antibodies is determined by genes but as the human genome only contains about 100 000 genes it seemed unreasonable that they could allow the production of maybe a billion different antibodies. ❋ Unknown (1987)

It was replaced by a second one which explained the almost limitless capacity of variation in antibodies as a result of some changes in the DNA of the B cell during the development of the individual. ❋ Unknown (1987)

Jerne proposed that this should allow the creation of multiple complementary situations where certain antibodies would have select capacity to combine with their mirror images. ❋ Unknown (1984)

In addition, some other findings were made that would become crucial to this whole field of research: the insulin antibodies formed a soluble complex with added insulin labeled with radioactive iodine and, furthermore, when non-labeled insulin was added to this mixture it could displace the labeled insulin bound to the antibody. ❋ Unknown (1977)
