title: Efficient production of syngeneic anti-IgE monoclonal antibodies with high affinity and diverse specificity.
abstract: Syngeneic monoclonal anti-IgE antibodies are of value in studies of the suppression of IgE synthesis. Procedures are described here for the production of high titers of murine anti-IgE antibodies by initiating immunization in the perinatal period, before mice develop tolerance to their autologous IgE. This in turn facilitates the production of monoclonal anti-IgE antibodies. Properties of some of these mAbs are reported, including affinity, fine specificity and ability to bind to IgE on B lymphoma cells or mast cells.
