Preparation of an antibody to mouse serum IgD

J Immunol. 1979 Aug;123(2):952-4.

Abstract

Mice have recently been shown to have serum IgD. We have used affinity chromatography to partially purify mouse serum IgD, and have prepared a rabbit antiserum against this mouse Ig class. This antiserum, once adsorbed by IgD-depleted mouse serum bound to Sepharose, was isotype specific as determined by radioimmunoassay and fluorescence activated cell sorter analysis, and bound to the same splenic lymphocyte surface molecules as a hybridoma produced monoclonal anti-mouse delta antibody.
