The presence of naturally occurring LMW (7S) IgM was suspected on Sephadex G-200 filtration of a serum pool from patients with tropical splenomegaly syndrome (TSS). It was found in nineteen out of thirty-one sera from these patients using a polyacrylamide/agarose gel-diffusion method, and in fifteen of the sera after precipitation of the 19S IgM with 10% polyethylene glycol (PEG). Free K-light chains was detected in twenty-five out of thirty-one sera from patients with the TSS while free lambda-light chains was detected in four. The presence of 7S IgM and free light chains in sera of these patients is in keeping with our hypothesis that there is a disorder of control of immunoglobulin production in the tropical splenomegaly syndrome.
在对热带脾肿大综合征(TSS)患者血清池进行葡聚糖G - 200过滤时,怀疑存在天然存在的低分子量(7S)IgM。使用聚丙烯酰胺/琼脂糖凝胶扩散法,在这些患者的31份血清中有19份检测到了它,在用10%聚乙二醇(PEG)沉淀19S IgM后,在15份血清中检测到了它。在TSS患者的31份血清中有25份检测到了游离κ轻链,而在4份血清中检测到了游离λ轻链。这些患者血清中7S IgM和游离轻链的存在与我们的假设一致,即热带脾肿大综合征存在免疫球蛋白产生控制紊乱。
