Abstract
Certain low-molecular weight, basic proteins of Polistes exclamans, P. annularis, P. metricus, Vespula maculata (bald-faced hornet), and Apis mellifera (honey-bee) venoms are capable of complexing with normal (base line) rabbit serum. Precipitin lines form in agar (Oüchterlony double diffusion and immunoelectrophoresis) which have somewhat different qualities than true immunoprecipitin lines. They are less distinct and stain not only with protein stains but with lipophilic stains as well. The non-immunologic complexing involves a serum component (or components) other than Immunoglobulin G, perhaps lipoprotein.
