Abstract excerpt
This report analyses murine primary humoral recognition of a linear domain (MEP 17-31) within a 100 amino acid polypeptide, MEP-1. An analysis of the early primary IgM response revealed that MEP 17-31 presented at least two distinct domains for pre-immune B cell recognition represented by MEP-1 r...
