Immunoglobuline (anticorps) d'origine animale (lapin, chèvre ou cheval) générée en réponse à l'immunisation (de l'animal en question) par des lymphocytes humains.

Record 2 1989-10-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Microbiology and Parasitology

heterologous. Derived from a different species.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Microbiologie et parasitologie
CONT

Cette non-spécificité s'étend jusqu'à la possibilité d'absorption d'anticorps hétérologues. C'est ainsi que des anticorps contre Salmonella cholerae suis dans le sérum de cheval peuvent fort bien passer au travers de la paroi intestinale de porcs nouveau-nés.
