Svensk definition
Antikroppar som framkallats hos en annan art än den från vilken antigenet härrör. Dessa antikroppar är riktade mot ett stort antal antigen som förekommer hos flera arter. De mest kända är Forssman, Ha nganutziu-Deicher (H-D) och Paul-Bunnell (P-B). Incidensen av dessa antikroppar är av betydelse i ett flertal patogenetiska sammanhang, såväl för serodiagnos som prognos.
Engelsk definition
Antibodies elicited in a different species from which the antigen originated. These antibodies are directed against a wide variety of interspecies-specific antigens, the best known of which are Forssman, Hanganutziu-Deicher (H-D), and Paul-Bunnell (P-B). Incidence of antibodies to these antigens--i.e., the phenomenon of heterophile antibody response--is useful in the serodiagnosis, pathogenesis, and prognosis of infection and latent infectious states as well as in cancer classification.
