Quantitation of immunoglobulin classes and subclasses in anti-Rh (D) antibodies. 1985

P S Mattila, and I J Seppälä, and J Eklund, and O Mäkelä

The isotype profiles of anti-Rh (D) antibodies were measured from 16 serum samples with a solid-phase radioimmunoassay that employed monoclonal anti-isotype antibodies. These antibodies had been standardized in another solid-phase system with the aid of monoisotypic antibodies (e.g., anti-tetanus toxoid of isotype IgG4), and this permitted calculations of the relative concentrations of different isotypes in each anti-D population. Of the heavy-chain isotypes, only IgG1 and IgG3 were found in anti-Rh (D) antibodies. The share of IgG1 varied from 100% (2 sera) to 0% (1 serum) of detected units, and the mean proportion was 73.8%. The remainder was IgG3 (mean share 26.2%). The proportions of kappa and lambda immunoglobulins varied greatly in individual sera, in three sera only kappa Ig and in one serum only lambda Ig could be detected.

D007136 Immunoglobulins Multi-subunit proteins which function in IMMUNITY. They are produced by B LYMPHOCYTES from the IMMUNOGLOBULIN GENES. They are comprised of two heavy (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) and two light chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) with additional ancillary polypeptide chains depending on their isoforms. The variety of isoforms include monomeric or polymeric forms, and transmembrane forms (B-CELL ANTIGEN RECEPTORS) or secreted forms (ANTIBODIES). They are divided by the amino acid sequence of their heavy chains into five classes (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A; IMMUNOGLOBULIN D; IMMUNOGLOBULIN E; IMMUNOGLOBULIN G; IMMUNOGLOBULIN M) and various subclasses.
