Abstract

A ring precipitation has been found when saline is layered on sera from certain patients with abnormal globulins. Positive reactions were found mainly, but not entirely, in the sera from patients with chronic liver disease. The precipitate formed appeared to be a gamma globulin. The phenomenon may be confused with a true precipitin test but does not give false positive results when studied by the agar diffusion or tanned cell techniques. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
