Binding of beta 2-microglobulin by heterologous sera
Abstract
Purified human, rat or guinea-pig beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2m) was mixed with sera from guinea-pig, rat, mouse, rabbit, horse, goat, cow, rhesus monkey or man. The mixtures were incubated at 37 degrees C for various lengths of time. When the sera were separated by gel-chromatography on Sephadex G-200, beta 2m was traced not only in 'free' form but also in fractions with higher molecular weights. Evidence is presented suggesting that heterologous beta 2m binds to beta 2m-containing molecules in sera by exchange with the homologous counterpart.
