RESUMO

More than 600 monoclonal antiviral antibodies made against 11 different viruses were screened against 14 different organs from normal uninfected mice. Of these antiviral antibodies, 21, or approximately 3.5%, reacted with specific cells in these organs. Several of these antibodies were of the multiple-organ-reactive type and recognized antigens in more than one organ. It was concluded that the reactivity of monoclonal antiviral antibodies with normal tissues is a common phenomenon.
