heterophile antibody
A heterophile antibody is a type of antibody that reacts with antigens that are not necessarily specific to the particular immune response. These are generated in response to infection or immunization and can bind to seemingly unrelated antigens, often causing cross-reactivity or false positive results in certain laboratory tests. One well-known example of a disease where this occurs is infectious mononucleosis, where the antibodies react with red blood cells from different species.
