Most recombinant human (rh) proteins elicit an immune response in experimental animals. Antibodies are usually detected within 1 to 2 weeks of protein administration. The immunogenicity of rh proteins is an important aspect for both experimental and clinical investigations. The formation of neutralizing antibodies-as shown here for rhIL-3-reduced the absolute bioavailability of the protein in Rhesus monkeys.
