title: Measurement of circulating immune complexes by radioimmunoassay of immunoglobulin in high molecular weight fractions.
abstract: A method for detecting circulating immune complexes is described based on radioimmunoassay of IgG following the rapid separation of immune complexes from monomeric IgG on short columns of Sephacryl S-300. Values obtained using sera from patients with immune complex associated diseases were distinctly higher than those obtained with sera from healthy control subjects. The same serum samples were assayed by 3 other methods for detecting immune complexes; significant correlation was obtained.
