AbAbbreviation for antibody.AB (ā′bē′)n. One of the four major blood groups in the ABO system. Individuals with this blood group have both A and B antigens on the surface of their red blood cells, and no antibodies for A and B in their blood serum.
ab (ăb)n. Slang An abdominal muscle: Sit-ups help strengthen the abs.Ab The part of an antigen that interacts with an MHC molecule.Ab Immunology Portion of antigen that interacts with an MHC moleculeAb Abbreviation for antibody. antibody (ant'i-bod?e) [ anti- + body], Ab ANTIBODY: Structure of one igG moleculeA substance produced by B lymphocytes in response to a unique antigen. Each Ab molecule combines with a specific antigen to destroy or control it. All antibodies, except natural antibodies (antibodies to different blood types), are made by B cells stimulated by a foreign antigen, typically a foreign protein, polysaccharide, or nucleic acid. Synonym: immunoglobulin See: illustration; antigen; autoantibody; cytokine; isoantibodyAntibodies neutralize or destroy antigens in several ways. They can initiate lysis of the antigen by activating the complement system; neutralize toxins released by bacteria, coating (opsonizing) the antigen or forming a complex to stimulate phagocytosis; promote antigen clumping (agglutination); or prevent the antigen from adhering to host cells. An antibody molecule consists of four polypeptide chains (two light and two heavy), which are joined by disulfide bonds. The heavy chains form the complement-binding site, and the light and heavy chains form the site that binds the antigen.  ASCARIS LUMBRICOIDESacetylcholine receptor binding antibody Abbreviation: AChR-Ab
An autoantibody against acetylcholine receptors in the neuromuscular junction. Binding, blocking, or modulating antibodies against this receptor are found in the blood of most patients with generalized myasthenia gravis and in about half of all patients with ocular forms of the disease. illustrationagonistic antibodyAn antibody that stimulates or activates an organ. E.g., agonistic antibodies against the thyrotropin receptor in Grave disease stimulate the thyroid gland to release thyroid hormones that produce hyperthyroidism. anticardiolipin antibody Abbreviation: aCLa

These antibodies are present in a variety of immunologic diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus, progressive systemic sclerosis, Sjögren syndrome, scleroderma, polymyositis, and dermatomyositis, and in some patients taking hydralazine, procainamide, or isoniazid. In addition, ANA is present in some normal people. Tests for ANAs are used in the diagnosis and management of autoimmune diseases. antiphospholipid antibody Abbreviation: aPLa
Any of a group of immunoglobulin autoantibodies that react with phospholipids, which are one of the primary components of the cell membrane (the other components are glycolipids and steroids). These antibodies are found in patients with a variety of connective tissue and infectious disorders, including systemic lupus erythematosus, the antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, syphilis, and malaria. They cause abnormal blood clotting, thrombocytopenia; and in women of childbearing age, repeated miscarriages. The anticardiolipin antibodies are one type of antiphospholipid antibody. anti–proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) antibody Abbreviation: anti-PCNA

A type of antibody, specific to a certain antigen, created in the laboratory from hybridoma cells. Because monoclonal antibodies are derived from a single cell line and raised against a single antigen, they are highly specific. Diagnostically, they are used to identify microorganisms, white blood cells, hormones, and tumor antigens. In patient care, they are used to treat transplant rejection, certain cancers, and autoimmune diseases. Hybridoma cells, used to produce monoclonal antibodies, are formed by the fusion of a spleen cell from a mouse immunized with an antigen and a multiple myeloma cell (a cancerous plasma B cell). The fused cells are screened to identify those that secrete antibodies against a specific antigen. A continuous supply of these antigen-specific monoclonal antibody secreting cells can then be grown in cultures. See: antibody; B cell; hybridomanatural antibodyAn antibody present in a person without known exposure to the specific antigen, such as an anti-A antibody in a person with B blood type.panel reactive antibody Abbreviation: PRA
A measure of an organ transplant recipient's level of sensitization to antigens on donated organs. It is the percentage of cells taken from a broad selection of blood donors against whose antigens the organ recipient's serum reacts. The higher the panel reactive antibody, the more challenging it is to match a donor organ to the recipient. perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodyAntimyeloperoxidase antibody.p504s antibody Alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase.polyclonal antibodyAn antibody that reacts with many different antigens. protective antibodyAn antibody produced in response to an infectious disease. See: immunityradionuclide-linked monoclonal antibodyA monoclonal antibody to which a radioisotope has been attached. The antibody attaches to receptors on the surface of undesired cells (e.g., cancer cells) and delivers a dose of radiation directly to those cells, leaving healthy cells and tissues relatively unaffected. sensitizing antibodyReagin.toxin-linked monoclonal antibodyA monoclonal antibody to which a cell-killing drug has been attached. The antibody combines preferentially with receptors on undesired cells (such as cancer cells) and delivers its lethal drug to those cells but not to healthy cells and tissues. To increase their effectiveness and decrease immune responses to these cells, genes for antigen binding sites from human antibodies are added, creating humanized monoclonal antibodies. warm antibodyWarm autoagglutinin.illustrationAB Abbreviation for abortion.
Ab Abbreviation for antibody. Patient discussion about AbQ. is it possible to change my blood type from ab to ab-? A. not really no...i mean there's a possibility if you'll have bone marrow and liver transplant-
http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/story/0,26278,23106284-5007185,00.html
and immunologically there shouldn't be a problem, because the body will react to an addition of proteins but not the lack of them (Rh-). but i fail to see why you want to do that. More discussions about AbFinancialSeeABSAB
