Abstract

Alkali-extracted erythrocyte ghost membranes from Rho(D)-positive and Rho(D)-negative donors were incubated with human immune anti-Rho(D) IgG and nonimmune IgG. After sensitization with IgG, the integral membrane proteins were solubilized in Brij 36T nonionic detergent and chromatographed by gel filtration. There was a distinct resolution of IgG into free and membrane-complexed forms. The IgG-complexed membrane proteins were isolated by the use of a staphylococcal protein A affinity support. The protein A-bound complexes were examined for polypeptide composition by gel electrophoresis after elution. Only Rho(D)-positive membrane proteins incubated with immune anti-Rho(D) IgG revealed intact band 3. Control Rh-negative membrane proteins that had reacted with immune anti-Rho(D) IgG and the Rh-positive membranes that had reacted with nonimmune IgG showed only low molecular weight fragments of band 3 that bound nonspecifically to IgG. Arguments are presented supporting a band 3 localization for the Rh antigen.
