Heavy and Light Chain Allotypic Markers on Rabbit Homocytotropic Antibody
نویسندگان
چکیده
Evidence has been presented that rabbit homocytotropic antibody prepared against ovalbumin bears allotypic markers of both group a (heavy chain) and group b (light chain). This was shown by specific removal of activity in passive cutaneous anaphylaxis assays by anti-allotype immunoadsorbents. The homocytotropic antibody has properties which indicate that it belongs to a new class of rabbit immunoglobulin. These results demonstrate that this newly described class possesses the allotypes of both groups a and b, as has been previously shown for other rabbit immunoglobulin classes.

Allotype Exclusion in Uniform Rabbit Antibody to Streptococcal Carbohydrate
Rabbit antibodies to streptococcal polysaccharide are described which show selectivity of expression of the allotypic specificities on both the heavy (H) and light (L) chains. One of these antibodies binds weakly to Sephadex. A purification method based on this binding has yielded antibody completely lacking any group a allotypic marker on its H chains.
متن کاملDevelopment and characterization of polyclonal antibody against human kappa light chain in rabbit
Polyclonal antibodies against kappa light chain are used to diagnose diseases producing free light chain. The kappa and lambda light chains are products of immunoglobulin synthesis and released into the circulation in minor amounts such as serum, cerebrospinal fluid, urine and synovial fluid in normal condition. The purpose of this study was the production and purification of polyclonal immunog...
متن کاملIsolation and Characterization of Electrophoretically Homogeneous Rabbit Antihapten Antibody Populations
A method is described by which liquid isoelectric focusing over a pH range 5 to 8 has been used on a preparative scale for the further purification of specifically purified antibodies directed against the positively charged p-azophenyltrimethylammonium hapten (anti-Ap antibodies). The anti-Ap antibodies separated into 4 to 8 major fractions and 10 to 16 minor fractions. More than 95% of the ant...
متن کاملEvidence for multiple gene control of a single polypeptide chain: the heavy chain of rabbit immunoglobulin.
To determine the chemical basis for rabbit heavy chain allotypes, amino acid analyses were carried out on IgG and IgM antibodies isolated from rabbits which were homozygous a1 or a3 for the gamma chain locus and homozygous b4 for the light chain locus. The compositional differences between a1 and a3 IgM antibodies were found to be identical to those between their IgG counterparts. The identity ...
متن کاملRabbit Lymphoid Cells Differentiated with Respect to Α-, Γ-, and Μ- Heavy Polypeptide Chains and to Allotypic Markers Aa1 and Aa2
Lymphoid cells present in spleen and lymph nodes of hyperimmune rabbits were found to be differentiated with respect to the class of immunoglobulin heavy chain which they contained. The relative proportions of cells containing the various heavy chains were as follows: alpha-chain (5 to 8%), micro-chain (14 to 21%), and gamma-chain (71 to 81%). The allotypic markers Aa1 and Aa2, found on heavy c...
