Abstract
The precipitating complexes formed by heat-aggregated γ-globulin with rheumatoid factor and other serum proteins, induce kinin formation in plasma and synovial fluids. Insoluble cross-linked aggregated γ-globulin also bound and activated kinin-forming factors. Complement inhibitors did not suppress these actions of the complexes.
