Abstract
Cryoproteins observed in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus were shown to be of “mixed type,” consisting largely of IgG and IgM. The IgM moiety possessed anti-IgG globulin reactivity and precipitated in the cold after mixing with a source of IgG. The IgM fraction of one cryoprotein precipitated only with the same patient's IgG. Antisera prepared against purified cryoproteins regularly recognized IgM, IgG, the 11 S component of C′, and α2-macroglobulin. C′4 (β1E) and C′3 (β1C) were recognized by four and two antisera, respectively. Antisera prepared against two cryoproteins reacted (after absorption) only with the sera of origin. These “unique” antigens were associated with IgM, were destroyed by mercaptoethanol treatment, and, in one patient, were shown to disappear subsequent to clinical improvement.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
