Abstract

Summary Immunoelectrophoretic methods can be used to determine the mobility of specific precipitating antibodies and to relate these to normal components of the immune serum. Antibodies of immune horse serum show a wide range of mobilities from that of γ-globulin to that of the rapidly-migrating β-globulin. The mobilities of horse serum proteins with immune function do not all correspond to those of horse serum components revealed by rabbit antisera against normal and immune horse serum. Antibodies of the ass and rabbit have the mobility of γ-globulin, although two close but distinctly different mobilities are revealed in the case of the rabbit antisera. The value of immunoelectrophoretic analysis to the control of separation and purification of antibody rich serum fractions is pointed out.
