Antibodies have been first characterized as proteins produced by the immune system solely
for binding other molecules, called antigens, with the goal of eliciting immune response. In …

Immunoglobulins are known to combine various effector mechanisms of the adaptive and
the innate immune system. Classical immunoglobulin functions are associated with antigen …

Various catalytic antibodies or abzymes have been detected recently in the sera of patients
with several autoimmune pathologies, where their presence is most probably associated …

It was shown using enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) that titers of antibodies
against human myelin basic protein (hMBP) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients …

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. MS
pathogenesis is not clear. Destruction of myelin by inflammation caused by autoimmune …

Homogeneous IgG fractions were obtained by chromatography of the sera of patients with
multiple sclerosis (MS) on Protein G-Sepharose under conditions that remove non …

Background: The presence of abzymes (Abzs) in human sera is a specific feature of different
autoimmune pathologies. We have shown that IgGs of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) …

Antibodies (Abs) have been first characterized as proteins which are produced by the
immune system and have a sole function of binding other molecules, called antigens, with …

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is known as a systemic polyethiologic diffuse
autoimmune disease characterized by connective tissue disorganization and the paramount …

Peptide bond-hydrolyzing catalytic antibodies (catabodies) could degrade toxic proteins, but
acquired immunity principles have not provided evidence for beneficial catabodies …
