The identification of the subclasses of human IgG by analytical isotachophoresis. 1979

K W Hedlund, and R Wistar, and D Nichelson

A new method is described for demonstrating the individual subclasses of human IgG immunoglobulins by means of analytical isotachophoresis. Individual subclasses of IgG purified from sera of multiple myeloma patients have distinct mobility patterns. When a mixture with purified IgG for each of the 4 subclasses is analyzed, a characteristic mobility pattern with 4 unique peaks is obtained. An IgG of unknown subclass can be identified by the superimposition of the peak for the unknown upon one of the 4 well characterized peaks. The method using microgram quantities protein in a 1.0 microliter volume can be performed easily in 15 min.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007074 Immunoglobulin G The major immunoglobulin isotype class in normal human serum. There are several isotype subclasses of IgG, for example, IgG1, IgG2A, and IgG2B. Gamma Globulin, 7S,IgG,IgG Antibody,Allerglobuline,IgG(T),IgG1,IgG2,IgG2A,IgG2B,IgG3,IgG4,Immunoglobulin GT,Polyglobin,7S Gamma Globulin,Antibody, IgG,GT, Immunoglobulin
D007122 Immunoelectrophoresis A technique that combines protein electrophoresis and double immunodiffusion. In this procedure proteins are first separated by gel electrophoresis (usually agarose), then made visible by immunodiffusion of specific antibodies. A distinct elliptical precipitin arc results for each protein detectable by the antisera.
D007474 Ion Exchange Reversible chemical reaction between a solid, often one of the ION EXCHANGE RESINS, and a fluid whereby ions may be exchanged from one substance to another. This technique is used in water purification, in research, and in industry. Exchange, Ion
