Immunoglobulins, physicochemical properties

Over the past two decades several reviews on the immunoglobulins in populations in the temperate regions have been written. In many of these, the structure, function, and synthesis of the various immunoglobulins have been dealt with consequently in the present article mention will be made only of those aspects of the physicochemical properties of the immunoglobulins that have not been fully covered in previous articles and those that are particularly relevant to diseases in populations of subtropical and tropical climates.

The distribution, isolation, determination, physicochemical properties, structure, biosynthesis, metabolism, etc. of immunoglobulin A have been reviewed. The use of affinity labelling to explore the topography of the antibody-combining sites of immunoglobulins and the specificities of antibodies have also been reviewed.
