g., a dissociated tissue, such as dissociated brain) with immunoglobulin, wherein the immunoglobulin is immobilized on a matrix prior to or after said contacting, allowing the microglial cells to bind the immobilized immunoglobulin, and removing non-adherent cells.
In one embodiment of the invention, the immunoglobulin to which the cell suspension is contacted is IgG, or Fc-containing fragments thereof.
Matrix The immunoglobulin is immobilized prior to, or subsequent to, being contacted with the microglial cell-containing cell.

 Patent 6,620,413
An immunoglobulin light chain may further be associated with one or both of the OB-immunoglobulin chimeras in the disulfide-bonded dimer to yield a homotrimeric or homotetrameric structure.
Although the presence of an immunoglobulin light chain is not required in the immunoadhesins of the present invention, an immunoglobulin light chain might be present either covalently associated to an OB protein-immunoglobulin heavy chain fusion polypeptide, or directly fused to the OB polypeptide.
In a preferred embodiment, the immunoglobulin sequences used in the construction of the immunoadhesins of the present invention are from an IgG immunoglobulin heavy chain constant domain.

 Patent 6,916,904
The immunoglobulins make up a class of proteins found in plasma and other bodily fluids that exhibit antibody activity and bind to other molecules (e.g., antigens and certain cell surface receptors) with a high degree of specificity.
The "binding affinity" of a polypeptide for an immunoglobulin molecule refers to the strength of the interaction between the polypeptide and the immunoglobulin.
The interactions between a compound and an immunoglobulin molecule typically involve the amino acid residues at positions 252, 253,435, and 436 of the immunoglobulin (number according to Kabat, supra).

 Immunoglobulin E, Total
The concentration of IgE in serum of normal individuals typically represents less the 0.001 percent of the total immunoglobulins present.
Immunoglobulins of the IgE class play an important role in mediating the atopic reactions that occur when sensitive individuals are exposed to allergens.
IgE has a structure that is similar to other immunoglobulins in that it consists of four two light chains and two heavy chains.

 Radioallergosorbent Test (RAST) Methods for Allergen-Specific Immunoglobulin E (IgE) 510(k)s; Final Guidance for ...
This generic type of device is intended for use in clinical laboratories and physicians' office laboratories as an in vitro diagnostic test for quantitative, semi-quantitative or qualitative measurement of allergen-specific IgE by various immunological test methodologies such as radioimmunoassay, enzyme immunoassay, chemiluminescent immunoassay, and fluorescent immunoassay.
In 1967 Ishizaka identified the serum factor capable of mediating allergic reactivity as Immunoglobulin E (IgE).
The Fc portion of this reaginic antibody attaches to Fc receptors on the surface of target cells, tissue mast cells, and circulating basophils leaving the F(ab)2 portion of the molecule available to bind with its homologous antigen.

 HON Allergy Glossary Immunoglobulin E (IgE)
One of five classes of immunoglobulins made by humans (the others being IgA, IgD, IgG and IgM).
This class of immunoglobulins is distributed throughout the body, although cells synthesizing IgE are found predominantly in association with mucosal tissues.
IgE-bearing cells are also found in large numbers in the neonatal GALT, which on maturation revert to IgA and IgM synthesis.

Background: Hyperimmunoglobulin E syndrome (HIES) was first described as Job syndrome in 1966, when 2 patients were reported with eczematous dermatitis, recurrent staphylococcal boils, hyperextensible joints, and distinctive coarse facies.
Buckley et al expanded the clinical picture in 1972 and reported the association with elevated immunoglobulin E (IgE) in patients with HIES.
Serum immunoglobulin D (IgD) levels are often elevated in patients with HIES, which is perhaps consistent with dysregulation of isotype switching.
