Antibody multispecificity in immunoassay interference

SS Levinson - Clinical biochemistry, 1992 - Elsevier
Recent findings indicate that many endogenous antibodies exhibit multispecificity. These
antibodies exhibit a potential for interference with immunoassays. Antibodies that interfere …

The full-length gene that encodes the light chain variable regions of an idiotypically related
group of human IgM kappa rheumatoid factors (RFs) has been cloned and sequenced. The …

A 16/6 idiotype—positive anti‐DNA antibody is encoded by a conserved VH gene with no somatic mutation

PP Chen, MF Liu, S Sinha… - Arthritis & Rheumatism …, 1988 - Wiley Online Library
Recently, the heavy chain of 16/6 idiotype—positive human anti‐DNA antibodies was found
to be similar, but not identical, to the VH26 gene. We resequenced the VH26 gene and …
