Determinations were made by laser nephelometry of serum and CSF immunoglobulin (Ig) G concentrations in Suffolk sheep with naturally occurring scrapie. The serum IgG concentrations in 3 sheep with confirmed or suspected scrapie were between 2,140 and 3,290 mg of IgG/100 ml, and the CSF values were between less than 10 and 75 mg of IgG/100 ml. In 8 clinically healthy (control) sheep, serum IgG concentrations were 2,647 to 7,380 mg/100 ml and CSF IgG concentrations were between 0 (undetectable) and 162 mg/100 ml. A sheep with pulmonary adenomatosis had 1,445 mg of IgG/100 ml of serum. The results indicated that neither serum nor CSF IgG concentrations were increased in sheep with naturally occurring infection with scrapie and that the severity of the disease did not correspond with the IgG concentration.
