## Abstract Human __β__‐2‐microglobulin (__β__2m) is the light chain of human leucocyte antigen‐I (HLA‐I). It can disassociate from HLA‐I and accumulate to cause serious dialysis‐related amyloidosis (DRA) in long‐term hemodialysis patients. Monoclonal antibody (mAb) BBM.1 can recognize both free‐fo
