Abstract
- 1. The reaction between human serum albumin and I131 trace iodinated rabbit antibody was studied by the quantitative precipitin reaction.
- 2. The amount of radioactivity found in each immune precipitate was proportional to the antibody nitrogen precipitated.
- 3. Under the iodinating conditions described (1.3 iodine atoms per antibody molecule) no loss of immunologic specificity of rabbit antibody labelled with I131 was demonstrated.
