HEp2 G specific for measles virus hemolysin could be recognized in multiple sclerosis (MS) sera and that in some sera from which rheumatoid factor was removed, a residual IgM (MS-IgM) was absorbed to measles virus-infected cells and showed the same specificity in blocking tests as measles virus anti-hemolysin. MS-IgM could be removed from sera by absorption with latex particles coated with human IgG and may be anti-globulin with preferential affinity for anti-hemolysin.
