Human anti-mouse antibody
- Human anti-mouse antibody
Human anti-mouse antibody (HAMA) is an antibody found in humans which reacts in immunoglobins found in mice.[cite web |url=http://www.mskcc.org/mskcc/html/3215.cfm#261342 |title=Sloan-Kettering - Neuroblastoma: 3F8 Monoclonal Antibody Therapy Q & A |accessdate=2008-02-19 |format= |work=] ]The existence of HAMA can complicate laboratory measurements.[cite journal |author=Klee GG |title=Human anti-mouse antibodies |journal=Arch.
