XI 20.4 monoclonal antibody belongs to the IgM class. It precipitates two polypeptide chains characteristic of HLA Class I antigens. At the highest dilutions it is cytotoxic against lymphocytes carrying antigens of the HLA-A3 crossreacting group. Lysostrip experiments show that, at the lowest dilutions, the antibody reacts either with HLA-A, or B antigens.
A mouse-human hybridoma has been produced by fusing human splenocytes from a Cooley's anemia patient with the murine myeloma P3-NS1/1-Ag 4-1. The hybridoma is stable after 18 months and secretes human IgM. The antibody reacts with some H3N2 influenza A strains and detects an epitope that is part of the hemagglutinin antigen, but does not affect virus infectivity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
