Gaining more from gamma globulins.
The use of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg), which is immunoglobulin G pooled from thousands of healthy donors, in the treatment of immunodeficient and autoimmune diseases has grown during the past 2 decades. Although its initial application was largely limited to replacement therapy in hypogammaglobulinemia, IVIg is gaining acceptance as therapy for autoimmune thrombocytopenia purpura, and a ...
متن کاملGamma Globulins in Germ-free Rats
The electrophoretic fractions of serum proteins were studied up to the 5th generation in a colony of germ-free rats. The germ-free animals had significantly lower concentrations of beta and the gamma globulins, while the other fractions were within normal limits. Assuming that the gamma globulins survive equally long in the circulation in germ-free animals as in controls, the production of gamm...
متن کاملGamma Globulins: Structure and Control of Biosynthesis
Knowledge of the structure and synthesis of antibodies (immunoglobulins) has developed to a remarkable degree in the last decade. Distinct classes of immunoglobulin (yG, yM, -yA, yD, yE, and their subgroups) have been identified and shown to consist of fixed numbers of light and heavy polypeptide chains organized in pairs. Each polypeptide has a segment of variable amino acid sequence; the spec...
متن کاملThe Metabolism of Gamma Globulins in Myeloma and Allied Conditions.
Previous investigations of the turnover of normal and "pathological" gamma globulins using radioisotopically in vitro trace-labeled proteins in patients with multiple myeloma, macroglobulineniia, and benign M-type hypergammaglobulinemia (1-10) have yielded different results. The present study was undertaken to delineate and compare simultaneously the metabolism of normal gamma globulin and M-co...
متن کاملIsoelectric focusing of gamma globulins in cerebrospinal fluid from patients with multiple sclerosis.
The technique of isoelectric focusing has been adapted for rapid clinical analysis for globulins in cerebrospinal fluid with use of commercially prepared horizontal-slab acrylamide gels. The globulin fraction is concentrated by ammonium sulfate precipitation, which allows more of the relevant protein to be applied, use of a wider range of total protein concentrations, and higher resolution than...
