antilymphocyte antibodies

antilymphocyte antibodies

Antibodies that have developed to the human leucocyte (HLA) antigens on B and T cells. Monoclonal antilymphocyte antibodies have been used to prevent graft rejection but are dangerously liable to lead to severe infection from the resulting acquired immune deficiency.
