IMMUNOCHEMICAL STUDIES ON RABBIT ANTI-ANTIBODY

Abstract
Anti-antibody in rabbits has been found to be a 19 S globulin with specificity for rabbit 7 S gamma-globulin altered either by combination with antigen or by certain nonspecific methods. The anti-antibody combines with antigenic determinants on Fragments I and II, but not III, of the papain- digested 7 S gamma-globulin molecule. The implications of these findings are discussed.
