Abstract
This paper gives the technical details of an immunofluorescence procedure that was specially developed for the study of intracellular immunoglobulins but also proved useful for other purposes. After suspending and washing of the cells, slides are prepared with a sedimentation apparatus. The result is a preparation with a minimal background and a large number of cells in a limited area. These preparations have been found to be eminently suitable for qualitative and quantitative studies. The description of the method also deals with the testing of specificity of the conjugates and photomicrography.

The coupling ratio of 50 mg fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) per gm of protein, as commonly advocated, can not be recommended for the precise localization of antibody globulin in tissues owing to the capacity of the coupled products to give non-specific fluorescent staining.

It was clear that γ, β2A, γ1M, and Bence Jones proteins were not associated exclusively with a single morphologic form of malignant cell, but the variety of immunofluorescent positive cells in each patient was more restricted than in a group of patients with a specific protein abnormality.
