Abstract
57Co‐labelled vitamin B12 bound to transcobalamin I, transcobalamin II or non‐protein bound, has been mixed with serum from patients with pernicious anaemia treated with long acting vitmain B12 preparations. By paper electrophoresis, immunoelectrophoresis and Sephadex G‐200 gel filtration, an antibody of the γG‐globulin type reacting with transcobalamin II was demonstrated. By immunoelectrophoresis the antibody was demonstrated in 8 of 19 patients. Gel filtration experiments showed that the affinity of the antibody to TC II is very sensitive to changes in pH, ionic strength and temperature.
