Ricinus agglutinin, purified until homogeneous, precipitates serum glycoproteins with terminal nonreducing galactose residues including IgM and IgG. Almost 100% of IgM reacted with anti-IgM and ricinus agglutinin in quantitative precipitin tests. In similar tests, almost 100% of polyclonal IgG was p...
