Catalytic antibodies or abzymes possessing the different catalytic activities were detected in the sera of patients with various autoimmune pathologies, where their presence is most probably associated with autoimmunization. Normal humans are generally considered to have no abzymes, since no obvious immunizing factors are present. The ability of small fraction of sIgA from human milk to phosphorylate selectively casein in the presence of gamma(32)P-ATP was previously shown to be a property of the Abs.
