Abstract Background Anti-M is most often assumed to be naturally occurring and can be comprised of a mixture of predominantly immunoglobulin(Ig)M with a lesser IgG component. Anti-M-antibodies usually do not react at 37°C and therefore are considered to be of little clinical significance.

Abstract We have examined the reactions of a panel of nine monoclonal anti-idiotype antibodies with the surface immunoglobulin in situ on guinea pig L2C leukemic lymphocytes. Equilibrium binding constants were shown to range between 10(7) and 10(8) M-1 for univalent Fab' gamma fragments and between 10(8) and 10(9) M-1 for intact IgG. Saturation of the cell surface binding sites was achieved with 2.9 X 10(5) Fab' gamma molecules/cell and 1.2 X 10(5) IgG molecules/cell for each antibody, a result that is consistent with a bivalent mode of interaction for the IgG.

SUMMARY Holstein heifers previously infected with bovine herpesvirus-1 were treated with corticosteroids to reactivate latent infection. The kinetics of serum immunoglobulin (Ig) M, IgG1, and IgG2 antibody formation were determined. The secondary immune response which developed as a consequence of virus reactivation was characterized by an anamnestic IgG antibody response. Secondary IgGl and IgG2 antibody formation constituted the IgG antibody response. In addition, secondary IgM antibody formation was elicited by this form of bovine herpesvirus-1 antigenic exposure.

Immunoglobulin (Ig), a characteristic marker of B cells, is a multifunctional evolutionary conserved antibody critical for maintaining tissue homeostasis and developing fully protective humoral responses to pathogens. Increasing evidence revealed that Ig is widely expressed in non-immune cells; moreover, Ig produced by different lineages cells plays different biological roles. Recently, it has been reported that monocytes or macrophages also express Ig. However, its function remains unclear.

Normal subjects are shown here to secrete protein Fv under a hidden form, saturated with luminal Ig. In feces, the nonimmune complexes are essentially of 1800 and 800 kDa M(r); they contain protein Fv molecules bound with F(ab')2 fragments produced by cleavage of Secretory IgA during colonic transit. The 800-kDa complexes correspond to 6 molecules of F(ab')2 fragments bound to a sole protein Fv dimer. This was

Most B cells in neonatal Alicia rabbits express VHn allotype immunoglobulin (Ig)M. Within weeks, the number of VHn B cells decreases, whereas VHa allotype B cells increase in number and become predominant. We hypothesized th

P29 was identified as part of the glycolytic enzyme triosephosphate isomerase (TPI) by comparison of the NH2-terminal amino acid sequences.

Unlike them, the T560 IgA receptor is inhibited by low concentrations of IgM and high concentrations of IgG2a and IgG2b, binds at pH 4.
