High incidence of monoclonal immunoglobulins in patients after liver or heart transplantation.

abstract：:OKT3 is a murine monoclonal antibody to the CD3 antigen of human T lymphocytes. The production of human antimurine antibodies after treatment with OKT3 has been perceived as a major limitation to its extended use and reuse. Treatment of 142 patients with 168 courses of OKT3 resulted in the development of antimouse ant...
