The high nitrogen values for the washings are due to non-antibody protein of the serum. The progressive reduction in the values indicates the removal of this protein by successive dilution. The possibility that non-antibody protein was non-specifically taken up in the lattice of agglutinated ghosts cannot be excluded. Therefore a portion of the nitrogen in the resuspended antibody may not repre-sent antibody nitrogen.Summary. Study of a human cold hemagglutinin revealed:1. The cold hemagglutinin had the electrophoretic mobility of gamma globulin. 2. A cold hemagglutinin titer of 1/2560 at 4OC was equivalent to 1.473 mg per ml of antibody nitrogen.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
