IgM antibody–I. Heterogeneity of the component chains of equine anti-lactose antibody. The heterogeneity of the IgM response has been studied with anti-lactose antibody purified from the sera of seven horses. The IgM antibody was induced with a bacterial vaccine and the sera were obtained during a one-year period of immunization. L and H chain preparations were derived from separate bleedings of each horse and examined by analytical isoelectric focusing. All of the L chain preparations were complex and similar and, under optimum conditions, exhibited about 45 bands. Their similarity included almost identical concentration distributions over the entire pH gradient. Isoelectric ba...
Studies on equine immunoglobulins. I. The antigenic structure of horse IgG, its fragments and subunits. Immunodiffusion analysis of papain digestion products, heavy and light chains of horse IgG-globulins with several rabbit and anti-horse IgG sera, have permitted the demonstration of five antigenic specificities (Fc1, Fc2, L, Lsp and Fabsp) associated with these equine antigens. Reactivity with anti-Fc1 is shown by both F′c and Fc fragments, while anti-Fc2 reactivity is shown only by Fc fragment.
Absorption of anti-Fab serum with L chain Fc fragment provides a reagent (anti-Fabsp) which precipitates only with Fab fragment, IgG-globulin or reduced and alkylated IgG. Upon exposure to deterge...
