Abstract
AS information about the gamma globulins has increased, it has become apparent that these are a heterogeneous group of proteins, varying in molecular size, antigenicity and electrophoretic mobility1 but having antibody activity in common. For the latter reason, the term immunoglobulin has been proposed to denote these proteins.2 At the present time three major classes of immunoglobulins are recognized, designated gamma2, gamma1A and gamma1M. Gamma globulins may be found in the urine, but here they are predominantly of smaller molecular weight and have been called microgammaglobulins.3 4 5.In the past several years the structures . . .Keywords
