title: Isolation of model soluble immune complexes in the fluid phase by monoclonal anti-IgG-ferritin antibodies.
abstract: Ferritin conjugates of monoclonal IgG anti-human gamma chain (anti-IgG-F) were reacted with soluble heat aggregates of IgG (A-IgG) and with soluble DNA-anti-DNA complexes to increase the S rate of the model soluble immune complexes (ICx) and thus facilitate isolation of ICx in the fluid phase and provide an immunochemical marker for subsequent ultrastructural analysis. A-IgG appeared as globular or curvilinear structures with individual IgG molecules arranged in a random fashion. The technique appears promising for characterization of other soluble ICx.
