Iodine-125-labelled L Chains of Human Blood Group Antibodies

Abstract

Cohen and Porter1 have demonstrated that the light (L) chains of human IgG globulins can be separated into ten subtractions by starch-gel electrophoresis. They also showed that the L chains of guinea-pig anti-ovalbumin and anti-(bovine serum albumin) separated into ten subfractions, but the intensity of the staining of the bands differed from each other and from those of L chains obtained from IgG globulins. The work presented here is concerned with the distribution of 125I-labelled L chains of human antibody among the ten subtractions.
