Abstract

Successive bleedings were obtained from a single horse during the course of immunization with human {gamma}G-globulin. Each antiserum was separated into {gamma}1- and {gamma}2-antibody fractions by a procedure involving salt fractionation followed by sequential anion and cation exchange chromatography. Isolated {gamma}1-antibody fractions from each bleeding gave a flocculating type quantitative precipitin curve while isolated {gamma}2-antibody fractions gave the conventional type precipitin curve. Solubilities of specific precipitates obtained with {gamma}1 and {gamma}2 fractions were estimated from the slopes of volume dependence curves and specific solubilities of 2 to 3 and 14 to 18 µg total N/ml were found for {gamma}2 and {gamma}1 specific precipitates, respectively.

Specific precipitates solubilized by excess antigen were examined with antisera to equine serum components. Each solubilized {gamma}2 specific precipitate was shown to contain {gamma}Ga- and/or {gamma}Gb-globulins. Solubilized specific precipitates prepared from isolated {gamma}1 fractions of each bleeding were shown to contain at least four components. Two components could be identified as IgG(T) and IgG immunoglobulins while a third component having a mobility between that of {gamma}2- and {gamma}1-globulin and a fourth with {gamma}1 mobility were not identified and remain to be classified.
