Will the immune system accept a foreign antibody?
- ingenium 19y agoIt depends. I would think that as long as the antibody is human, it SHOULD recognize it. If it doesn't, there is no harm, it won't cause an allergic reaction or anything. However, by targeting this region, the binding of the antibody prevents the HIV from binding to the CD4 receptors. So even if the immune system doesn't recognize it, it still disables the virus.
