Isolation and characterization of IgG Globulins in subacute sclerosing panencephalitis

PMCID: PMC1407780  PMID: 4114651

Abstract

Patients affected with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis were found to show high measles antibody activity; γ-globulin M-components were detected in the serum, cerebrospinal fluid and brain tissue. The relative antibody activity was different in the different IgGs separated by gel filtration. The γ-globulins were separated into several components by isoelectric focussing on a sucrose gradient and each showed different degrees of measles antibody activity. Better separation was achieved by isoelectric focusing than by gel chromatography.
