On the mutagenicity and immunogenicity of a beta-propiolactone-treated therapeutic IgG-preparation. 1981

J H Pincus, and K Mortelmans, and W Tanaka, and W Stephan, and R Lissner

During the production of Intraglobin, an i.v. tolerable IgG-immunoglobulin preparation, fraction Cohn II is treated with beta-propiolactone. Thereby the IgG-molecules are chemically modified thus preventing an increase in secondary aggregates which could give rise to adverse reactions in the patients treated with the IgG-preparation. The safety tests described here neither showed any evidence for the presence of unhydrolysed mutagenic-beta-propiolactone in the final product nor that neoantigenic determinants had been created by the reaction of beta-propiolactone with the protein molecules.

D009153 Mutagens Chemical agents that increase the rate of genetic mutation by interfering with the function of nucleic acids. A clastogen is a specific mutagen that causes breaks in chromosomes. Clastogen,Clastogens,Genotoxin,Genotoxins,Mutagen
D011420 Propiolactone Disinfectant used in vapor form to sterilize vaccines, grafts, etc. The vapor is very irritating and the liquid form is carcinogenic. Propanolide,beta-Propiolactone,beta Propiolactone
D005260 Female Females
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
D006168 Guinea Pigs A common name used for the genus Cavia. The most common species is Cavia porcellus which is the domesticated guinea pig used for pets and biomedical research. Cavia,Cavia porcellus,Guinea Pig,Pig, Guinea,Pigs, Guinea
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
