Abstract

The aim of the present work was to determine formation of isoantibodies in pigs. Pigs were immunized with a mixture of pig gamma globulins in incomplete Freund adjuvant. Out of the total number of 10 pigs formation of isoantibodies was induced in 3 pigs after administration of a total dose of 500 mg of the mixture of gamma globulin. By immunoelectrophoretic analysis the antibodies formed were classified as gamma M globulins. By reaction with 12 randomly selected pig sera the existence of at least two allotypic specificities of gamma M globulin in pigs was demonstrated.
