title: Detection of Fc gamma-receptor blocking antibodies in the serum following vaccination.
abstract: In the current series of experiments the Fc gamma-receptor blocking serum activity (EAI) was studied before and after vaccination with tetanus toxoid and rDNA HBsAg vaccines in two groups of 6 healthy persons. The analysis of the individual serum samples (on three different allogeneic and on autologous B lymphocytes) suggests that two types of EAI antibodies were produced: allo- and autoantibodies. In all cases an increase of EAI activity was noticed after immunization (in the cases of tetanus toxoid vaccination from 17.7 +/- 9.7 to 39.3 +/- 16.0 and in the cases of virus vaccination from 67.4 +/- 16.5 to 80.2 +/- 4.5).
