Abstract excerpt
A hybridoma line, C5TN, produced human monoclonal antibody of which light chain had N-linked carbohydrate chain within the variable region. Some molecular-weight variants of light chain of the antibody were produced by C5TN variants resistant to cytotoxic effect of concanavalin A. The variant antibodies significantly altered the original cross-reactivity with antigens or lost the ability of antigen binding. The...
