The proportion of symmetric and asymmetric IgG molecules was studied in 10 mothers at delivery. IgG was obtained from peripheral blood and placental blood sera and by elution at 4 M KCl from placenta cell membranes. The percentage of symmetric and asymmetric molecules was determined in the IgG and in their corresponding F(ab')2 fragments by absorption to Con A-Sepharose. The presence of antipaternal antibodies was investigated by IIF and MC tests using paternal lymphocytes. The average percentage of asymetric IgG molecules in the sera was 24.4, which is about double the value of that found in normal subjects. In the IgG eluted from the placenta, the proportion of asymmetric IgG was much higher, averaging 44.4%. Antipaternal antibodies were detected in 5 mothers by IIF and MC and in two mothers only by IIF. In three mothers no antibodies could be detected. It was found that the concentration of antipaternal antibodies was about three times higher in the asymmetric IgG fraction than in the summetric one. Considering the percentage of asymmetric IgG molecules with antipaternal antigen specificity eluted from placenta and the possibility that they function as blocking antibodies, their participation in fetal protection is suggested.

D007140 Immunoglobulin Fab Fragments Univalent antigen-binding fragments composed of one entire IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAIN and the amino terminal end of one of the IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS from the hinge region, linked to each other by disulfide bonds. Fab contains the IMMUNOGLOBULIN VARIABLE REGIONS, which are part of the antigen-binding site, and the first IMMUNOGLOBULIN CONSTANT REGIONS. This fragment can be obtained by digestion of immunoglobulins with the proteolytic enzyme PAPAIN.

D010920 Placenta A highly vascularized mammalian fetal-maternal organ and major site of transport of oxygen, nutrients, and fetal waste products. It includes a fetal portion (CHORIONIC VILLI) derived from TROPHOBLASTS and a maternal portion (DECIDUA) derived from the uterine ENDOMETRIUM. The placenta produces an array of steroid, protein and peptide hormones (PLACENTAL HORMONES). Placentoma, Normal,Placentome,Placentas,Placentomes
