Antigenic determinants common to human immunoglobulins G and M: importance of conformational antigens. 1966

M Seligmann, and C Mihaesco, and G Meshaka

Antiserums produced against certain isolated human myeloma IgGglobulins and absorbed in order to show only individual antigenic specificity crossreact with certain Waldenstrom IgM-globulins. Some of the common antigenic determinants revealed by these cross-reactions depend on the tertiary and quaternary structure of the IgG and IgM molecules and are independent of their K and L light-chain antigenic types.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007106 Immune Sera Serum that contains antibodies. It is obtained from an animal that has been immunized either by ANTIGEN injection or infection with microorganisms containing the antigen. Antisera,Immune Serums,Sera, Immune,Serums, Immune
D005719 gamma-Globulins Serum globulins that migrate to the gamma region (most positively charged) upon ELECTROPHORESIS. At one time, gamma-globulins came to be used as a synonym for immunoglobulins since most immunoglobulins are gamma globulins and conversely most gamma globulins are immunoglobulins. But since some immunoglobulins exhibit an alpha or beta electrophoretic mobility, that usage is in decline. gamma-Globulin,gamma Globulin,gamma Globulins
D005779 Immunodiffusion Technique involving the diffusion of antigen or antibody through a semisolid medium, usually agar or agarose gel, with the result being a precipitin reaction.
