Studies on the antigenic determinants in the self-association of IgG rheumatoid factor
The number, location, and other characteristics of the antigenic determinants for self-association of IgG-rheumatoid factors (IgG-RF) were examined using the IgG-RF isolated from the plasma of one patient as a model system. Affinity chromatography was employed for isolation of the IgG-RF. Sedimentation equilibrium ultracentrifugation was used to study the various interactions. The antigenic val...
متن کاملHuman rheumatoid factors bear the internal image of the Fc binding region of staphylococcal protein A
The binding specificity of rheumatoid factors (RFs) to human Fc resembles that of some microbial Fc-binding proteins, suggesting conformational similarities in their Fc-binding regions. Using polyclonal chicken antibodies against SPA, we have detected a crossreactive determinant shared by human RFs from different individuals, but not by non-RF IgM and IgG. Chicken anti-SPA was shown to bind to ...
متن کاملPreexisting human anti-murine immunoglobulin reactivity due to polyclonal rheumatoid factors.
We report that sera from healthy controls, patients with ovarian or lung cancer, and patients with rheumatoid arthritis all contain IgM polyclonal rheumatoid factors which recognize antigenic determinants on murine and to a greater extent human immunoglobulin IgG. The major part of this reactivity is directed against conserved, shared antigenic determinants present on both human and murine IgG....
متن کاملImmunological Analysis of Rabbit Anti-antibody Systems
A study has been made of the production of antiidiotypic antibodies (anti-antibodies) arising during the immunization of 39 rabbits with 19 individual samples of rabbit anti-Proteus vulgaris x 19 antibodies adsorbed onto bacilli. In addition to the regular demonstration of antiidiotypic antibodies attention is drawn to the frequent occurrence of antiallotypic antibodies against molecules of imm...
متن کاملExpression and Antigenic Evaluation of VacA Antigenic Fragment of Helicobacter Pylori
Objective(s): Helicobacter pylori, a human specific gastric pathogen is a causative agent of chronic active gastritis. The vacuolating cytotoxin (VacA) is an effective virulence factor involved in gastric injury. The aim of this study was to construct a recombinant protein containing antigenic region of VacA gene and determine its antigenicity. Materials and Methods: The antigenic region of V...
