Immuno-electron microscopic localization of antigenic sites for specific immunoglobulins G and M on Toxoplasma gondii surface. 1980

G Carosi, and G Filice, and G Carnevale, and V Meroni, and N Passarani

The results of immuno-electron microscopic reaction obtained with anti-IgG and/or anti-IgM ferritin conjugated sera after the inter-reaction of RH strain with specific IgG and/or IgM immunosera, confirm: 1) antigenic sites for specific immunoglobulins both IgG and IgM localization on superficial membrane of pellicular complex; 2) the saturation of common antigenic surface sites due to the competition between IgG and IgM; 3) the competitive prevalence of IgG even if IgM concentration is relatively high in unfractioned immunosera. The practical application of such results is discussed in relation to the specific tests for IgM evidentiation during primary response.

D007075 Immunoglobulin M A class of immunoglobulin bearing mu chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN MU-CHAINS). IgM can fix COMPLEMENT. The name comes from its high molecular weight and originally was called a macroglobulin. Gamma Globulin, 19S,IgM,IgM Antibody,IgM1,IgM2,19S Gamma Globulin,Antibody, IgM
D005260 Female Females
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.

D000918 Antibody Specificity The property of antibodies which enables them to react with some ANTIGENIC DETERMINANTS and not with others. Specificity is dependent on chemical composition, physical forces, and molecular structure at the binding site. Antibody Specificities,Specificities, Antibody,Specificity, Antibody
