Effect of a single amino acid mutation on the activating and immunosuppressive properties of a "humanized" OKT3 monoclonal antibody
1 Jun 1992
Abstract excerpt
The binding specificity of the murine OKT3 has been transferred into a human antibody framework to reduce its immunogenicity. This "humanized" anti-CD3 mAb (gOKT3-5) was previously shown to retain, in vitro, all the properties of native OKT3, including T cell activation, which has been correlated, in vivo, with the severe side effects observed in transplant recipients after the first administration of the mAb. T...
