Abstract

Antiglobulin factors of the IgG class were measured in human sera by a modified immunoadsorbent-technique involving absorption to and elution from insoluble preparations of horse IgG. 32 mg of horse IgG insolubilized with bisdiazotized benzidine were used for quantitative immunoadsorption of IgG antiglobulins from 100 mul serum. Different IgG-antiglobulin concentrations could be obtained in two control groups differing in age. Elevated IgG-antiglobulins levels were found both in seropositive (mean value 23.21 +/- 7.08 mug/ml serum) and seronegative (mean value 20.06 +/- 8.39 mug/ml serum) RA patients. High values of IgG-antiglobulins were found in chronic liver disorders, particularly in the group of CAH patients (mean value 25.10 +/- 6.1 mug/ml serum).
