The molecular form of IgM antibody to hepatitis A virus (IgM anti-HA) was analysed by high speed liquid chromatography and enzyme immunoassay in 25 sera from 9 patients with hepatitis A virus infection. IgM anti-HA was detected in not only high molecular weight (HMW) IgM fractions but also low molec...
