Abstract
The invention provides a method for stimulating the production of antibodies to a cryptic epitope on a soluble antigen by administering to a patient having such a cryptic epitope a binding agent that binds to the soluble antigen and forming a complex between the binding agent and the soluble antigen, wherein the cryptic epitope is exposed and the patient generates antibodies that bind to the cryptic epitope.
