Preparation of antisera to the mu chain of IgM. 1976

K Nielsen

The protein fraction in the first peak obtained by Sephadex G-200 gel filtration of normal bovine serum was reduced with 2-mercaptoethanol, alkylated with iodoactamide and recycled on a Sephadex G-200 column. The resultant chromatogram indicated the presence of two peaks the second of which was found to be pure monomeric IgM. Immunization of rabbits with the second peak protein resulted in the production of an antiserum with both heavy and light-chain activity. The light-chain activity was simply removed by absorption of the antiserum with glutaraldehyde-polymerized material obtained from the second peak of the initial Sephadex G-200 eluate, yielding an antiserum monospecific for the heavy chain of the IgM molecule.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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
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
D007143 Immunoglobulin Heavy Chains The largest of polypeptide chains comprising immunoglobulins. They contain 450 to 600 amino acid residues per chain, and have molecular weights of 51-72 kDa.

D007148 Immunoglobulin mu-Chains The class of heavy chains found in IMMUNOGLOBULIN M. They have a molecular weight of approximately 72 kDa and they contain about 57 amino acid residues arranged in five domains and have more oligosaccharide branches and a higher carbohydrate content than the heavy chains of IMMUNOGLOBULIN G.

D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

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.
