Abstract excerpt
We are using chimeric IgG antibodies consisting of murine variable regions joined to human constant regions as rheumatoid factor (RF) binding substrates to localize and map IgM RF binding sites on IgG. Using chimeric antibodies in a modified RF ELISA, we showed that RFs from rheumatoid arthritis...
