    Tolerance in carps can be induced by intracardial injection of 10-30 mg of ultracentrifuged human gamma globulin (HGGu), with strong individual variation being observable. Out of 21 carps pretreated with 10 mg HGGu, 10 animals showed 14 days after i.p. test immunization with 1 mg HGGu a log2 anti-HGG titre of 1.55 +/- 0.60 (control group - log2 7.33 +/- 1.47), while 11 animals exhibited a log2 titre of 7.45 +/- 2.75. Low doses of HGGu (0.01-1.0 mg) led to stimulation of immune response. If 1-2 mg of a human IgG myeloma protein are applied i.p. after intracardial injection of 10 mg HGGu either simultaneously or after a longer break, then a high-titre anti-idiotypical antiserum with low activity against HGG can be obtained in single cases. The experiments have shown wide individual variation in tolerance induction which may be due also to seasonal factors.

    Antibody Structure

    Overview
    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.

    Hybridoma Technology

    Hybridoma technology is used for the large-scale production of monoclonal antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies bind to only a single antigenic determinant or epitope. Such antibodies are used in research, diagnostics, and disease therapy. The hybridoma technology established in 1975 by Georges Köhler and Cesar Milstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1984 for revolutionizing research and therapy.
