Abstract
Nonspecific factors are of importance in the reaction of precipitation of antibody by antigen. Purified anti-DNP antibody populations, even from individual rabbits, are heterogeneous with respect to these nonspecific factors. This heterogeneity is independent of the heterogeneity of affinity shown by the specific binding sites.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
