    Summary: The rapid development of new packings for aqueous size-exclusion chromatography has revolutionized this field. High resolution non-adsorptive columns now make possible the efficient separation of proteins and the rapid and precise determination of the molecular weight distribution of synthetic polymers. This technology is also being applied to the separation of small ions, the characterization of associating systems, and the measurement of branching. At the same time, fundamental studies are elucidating the mechanisms of the various chromatographicprocesses. These developments in principles and applications are assembled for the first time in this book. Fundamental issues are dealt with: the roles of pore structure and macromolecular dimensions, hydrophobic and electrostatic effects, and the determination and control of column efficiency. High-performance packings based on derivatized silica are reviewed in detail. Special techniques are thoroughly described, including SEC/LALLS, inverse exclusion chromatography, and frontal zone chromatography. Nielsen 9780444429575 20160528

    The capability of complement fixation of pemphigus antibodies was tested using combined in vitro complement immunofluorescent (IF) staining methods. Three sera out of 25 serum samples from 22 pemphigus patients revealed positive reactions, while all other sera gave negative results. Specificity control tests confirmed the positive reactions to be specific for complement staining. Complement fixing pemphigus antibodies were titrated lower than corresponding IgG antibodies and were demonstrable only in the extensive stage of the disease. Thus, the present work supplied evidence that pemphigus antibodies fix complement in vitro. However, the discrepancy still remains between the in vivo deposition of complement in most cases of pemphigus and in vitro capability of complement fixation in only few cases. More investigations should be needed to explain the exact role of complement in pemphigus acantholysis.
