title: [The application of monoclonal antibodies (McAbs) against human serum IgA in single radial immunodiffusion (SRID)].
abstract: Among many McAbs to human IgA, two McAbs (A1A10 and A1C9) against two determinants were selected and mixed. They formed opaque precipitation rings with IgA in agarose containing 2% PEG 6000. SRID with our mixed McAbs or PcAbs was used to determine serum IgA concentration in 40 undiluted serum specimens: a comparison of the two showed similar results, with a correlation coefficient of 0.9493 (P < 0.001). We conclude that mixed McAbs A1A10 and A1C9 can replace PcAbs in SRID for the measurement of human total serum IgA.
