A neoantigenic determinant in the D-dimer fragment of fibrin
article
Monoclonal antibody (mAb) III-3b binds D-dimer with Kd = 1.4 × 10-10 M without cross-reaction with fibrin(ogen). The epitope for this mAb is in Bβ134-190, presumably in Bβ155-160. The latter site is buried in the coiled coil structure of fibrin(ogen) but it is exposed as a neoantigenic determinant in D-dimer upon plasmic lysis of fibrin. mAb III-3b may be used as a tool for immunodiagnostic quantification of D-dimer in blood plasma. © 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.
