  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-005252",
  "term": "Heterologous antibody",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "An antibody that comes from a donor other than the recipient, whether a different member of the same species or an animal of another species, as opposed to one made by the recipient's own immune system. Horse or rabbit antiserum given for passive immunization is an example. Being foreign to the recipient, such an antibody can itself trigger an immune response, and serum sickness after equine antitoxin is the classic case.",
