Defective monocyte chemotactic responsiveness in patients with multiple myeloma and benign monoclonal gammapathy.

abstract：:A method is described which can be used to quantitate class II MHC antigens (HLA-DR) expressed by cells within tissue sections. A mouse anti-human HLA-DR monoclonal antibody is directly conjugated to the fungal enzyme glucose oxidase. The enzyme, in the presence of its substrate can be used to reduce tetrazolium salts...
