Anti-Au: the antithetical antibody to anti-Au

1San Diego Blood Bank, Calif.
Abstract:
Anti-Au, the first example of the antithetical antibody to anti-Au, was identified in the serum of a blood donor who had been transfused 16 years previously. Au has a gene frequency of 0.4326 in an American black population and 0.2994 in a southern English donor population. The expression of Au is suppressed by In(Lu). XS2 also suppresses Auberger antigen expression.

Antibody Structure
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are essential players of the adaptive immune system. These antigen-binding proteins are produced by B cells and make up 20 percent of the total blood plasma by weight. In mammals, antibodies fall into five different classes, which each elicits a different biological response upon antigen binding.

Antibody Structure and Classes
The basic structure of an antibody consists of four protein chains: two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains. These chains are held together by disulfide bonds and other non-covalent interactions, forming a Y-shaped structure.
Antibody Actions
Neutralization
Antibodies can bind to pathogens, preventing them from infecting host cells. This process...
