7S and 19S components of rabbit anti-A antibody, labelled with I have been separated by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. The reactions of these components with human group A, A and AB red cells have been investigated. At saturation point A cells combine with 0.22 μg. of 7S antibody per million cells, this corresponds to a minimum of 8.3×10 A-antigen sites per cell. A cells can take up only one quarter as much antibody, and combine much less avidly with it than do A cells. Cells can take up only about one-fifth as many 19S as 7S antibody molecules. 19S antibody is more avid and, on a molecular basis, is 750 times more efficient at agglutinating red cells than 7S antibody. The significance of these findings is discussed with regard to the differences between A and A antigens, and the valency and mode of attachment to the red cells of the antibodies.
用碘标记的兔抗A抗体的7S和19S成分已通过DEAE - 纤维素柱层析分离。研究了这些成分与人A、A和AB血型红细胞的反应。在饱和点时,A细胞每百万细胞与0.22μg的7S抗体结合,这相当于每个细胞至少有8.3×10个A抗原位点。A细胞只能摄取四分之一的抗体量,并且与抗体的结合亲和力远低于A细胞。细胞摄取的19S抗体分子数量仅约为7S抗体分子的五分之一。19S抗体的亲和力更高,从分子角度来看,其凝集红细胞的效率比7S抗体高750倍。针对A和A抗原之间的差异以及抗体与红细胞结合的价数和方式,对这些发现的意义进行了讨论。
