## Abstract Penicillamine treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) leads to falling titers of agglutinating IgM rheumatoid factor (RF), but its effect on IgG RF has not been described. Using specific solid phase radio‐immunoassays, we have determined serial levels of IgM RF and IgG RF i

## Abstract IgG rheumatoid factors (IgG–RFs) undergo concentration‐dependent self‐association into dimers and higher polymers, as previously reported. The interactions of purified IgG–RF from the plasma of 3 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, with guinea pig and human complement were studied. Self
To study the Ig genes that encode IgG rheumatoid factor (IgG-RF) from rheumatoid synovial fluid. Methods. We used rheumatoid synovial fluid B cells to generate IgG-RF-secreting hybridomas. We then characterized their binding properties and determined their nucleotide sequences. Results. Two monosp
## Abstract Normal human peripheral blood mononuclear leukocytes were induced to become cells that secrete rheumatoid factor after culture with aggregated IgG, but not monomeric IgG. A plaque‐forming cell assay was used to detect cells that secrete antibodies to IgG. Anti‐haptenated–sheep red cell
