title: Recombinant antibodies possessing novel effector functions.
abstract: The introduction into lymphocytes of immunoglobulin-gene DNA that has been manipulated in vitro allows the production of novel antibodies. In this way, cell lines have been established that secrete hapten-specific antibodies in which the Fc portion has been replaced either with an active enzyme moiety or with polypeptide displaying c-myc antigenic determinants.
