Popis: The fractional composition of commercial immunoglobulin was studied by the method of gel filtration on ultragel AcA-34 and the possibility of its use for the calibration of a chromatographic column was shown. The fractionation of a specimen of IgG revealed the presence of 4 fractions. Their molecular weights corresponded to dimers, monomers, Fab fragments and low-molecular peptides. The qualitative fractional composition of the preparation was shown to be stable during 3 years of storage, as well as after keeping the preparation at 37 degrees C for 1 month. The attested characteristic of each IgG fraction, the distribution coefficient (Kav), was established. The use of a specimen of immunoglobulin obtained with the use of the modified Cohn's method--as calibrant will make it possible to calibrate the columns for a shorter period and to control the correctness of the analysis.
