Red Cell Binding of γ Heavy Chains isolated from Polyalanylated Anti-Rh0 IgG

Abstract

To extend biochemical studies of isolated anti-Rh IgG subunits (unpublished results of S. J. G.), experiments have been designed in which human anti-Rh0 heavy chains rendered soluble in neutral aqueous solution show binding specificity for the Rh determinant. Antigenicity of the solubilized heavy chains remains partially intact when tested with homologous rabbit antisera.
