The reactivity of native IgM anti-B and of the monomer subunits with B cells was investigated using I-labelled antibody. A proportion of the monomers produced by mercaptoethanol treatment retained antibody activity, but the value of the equilibrium constant of the subunits was reduced by a factor of 36–170 compared to that of the native IgM molecule. It is concluded that native IgM anti-B is attached to red cells by at least two combining sites and evidence is given which indicates that IgM anti-A behaves similarly.
使用碘标记抗体研究了天然 IgM 抗 B 及单体亚基与 B 细胞的反应性。巯基乙醇处理产生的一部分单体保留了抗体活性,但与天然 IgM 分子相比,亚基的平衡常数降低了 36 - 170 倍。得出的结论是,天然 IgM 抗 B 通过至少两个结合位点附着于红细胞,并且有证据表明 IgM 抗 A 的行为类似。
