Abstract :
The specific increment of ultrasound velocity in aqueous solutions of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and their fragments, extracted from different mammals, was measured. The changes in the acoustic characteristics of solutions during antigen-antibody reactions were investigated. It was shown that the formation of an immune complex in the insulin-antibody reaction leads to a substantial increase in the ultrasound velocity
