Three subclasses of human gamma(2)-globulin (IgG) molecules were detected in normal human serum with antiserums prepared in monkeys. These subclasses, designated gamma(2a)-, gamma(2b)-, and gamma(2c)-globulins, have antibody activity. The distinguishing antigenic characteristics of each subclass were associated with the heavy polypeptide chains and the F (fast) fragments resulting from treatment of gamma(2)-globulins with papain.
用在猴子体内制备的抗血清在正常人血清中检测到了人类γ(2)-球蛋白(IgG)分子的三个亚类。这些亚类,分别命名为γ(2a)-、γ(2b)-和γ(2c)-球蛋白,具有抗体活性。每个亚类独特的抗原特性与重多肽链以及用木瓜蛋白酶处理γ(2)-球蛋白后产生的F(快速)片段有关。
