Abstract:The mother obviously recognizes the fetus as an antigen, and the fetus is protected from the maternal immunologic attacks by eliciting anti-alloreactive T cell antibodies (T lymphocytotoxic human fetal antibody; TLFA). TLFA contains several antibodies against the maternal cells. It is thus necessary for further understanding of TLFA to obtain a single antibody from EBV-transformed cord B cells. EBV-transformations were performed in 28 cord B cell samples, and 16 cell lines were established. Antibody-binding as… Show more
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.
