New Immunoglobulin-like Molecules in the Serum of Bursectomized-Irradiated Chickens

Yong Sung Choi 1,2, Robert A Good 1,2
PMCID: PMC389356  PMID: 5289367

Abstract

A new immunoglobulin-like protein that was found in the sera of bursectomized and irradiated chickens is reported. Unlike IgM and IgG, this protein is apparently made only of heavy chains of IgM and contains no light chains.

Keywords: heavy(μ)chain, immunoelectrophoresis, agammaglobulinemia
