Abstract
A number of antibody activities of human monoclonal immunoglobulins (Ig) have been described and knowledge in this field has progressed since we reviewed it 20 years ago (Seligmann and Brouet 1973). In this presentation, we wish to update the current findings and concepts, summarize our data on monoclonal autoantibodies to myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG), and emphasize their relevance to the problem of the origin of autoantibodies.
