Antibody Suppression Definition
Antibody Suppression involves interference with, or restraint of, the activity of a class of cell-surface or secreted B lymphocyte proteins that non-covalently interact through intermolecular physical forces of attraction and spatial complementarity selectively and specifically with foreign substances (antigens), typically as part of an immune response. Suppression mechanisms include increased degradation or decreased production and binding to antigen.
