Abstract
A monoclonal human rheumatoid factor (RF-AN) reactive with human Fcγ is shown to recognise a discontinuous epitope dependent on the presence of histidine (His) at residue 435. RF-AN is not reactive with IgG1 paraproteins having Cγ2 or Cγ3 domain deletions or IgG3m (5) or IgG3m (21) proteins having arginine (Arg) at residue 435. RF-AN is reactive with IgG1, 2, 4 and IgG3m (15,16) proteins having histidine at 435.
