Another Example of an Albumin Auto-Agglutinin

Caprylate-Dependent Auto-Anti-e

“…This use has resulted in the discovery of numerous examples of caprylate-dependent panagglu tinins reactive in an albumin medium [5][6][7][8]10]. The mere fact that an antibody ag glutinates red cells in the presence of caprylate-stabilized albumin does not necessarily indicate specificity of the antibody against albumin.…”

Anti-I Autoantibody Acting Preferentially in Albumin

“…[ 5,6] and that the antibody responsible, which may be IgG [5,7] or IgM, [13,19] is directed at a conformational determinant imparted to albumin by sodium caprylate. An antigen-antibody complex is formed which combines with red cells.…”
