Immunochemical methods are unique in their sensitivity for the determination of a single protein component in a mixture of proteins, and can be useful in thestudy of the kinetics of various protein reactions. The reaction kinetics of various reagents with individual pure proteins can be measured. 4 However, it is possible by immuno-chemical methods to analyze the rate of alteration of one protein relative to the rates of alteration of other proteins in the same system. Such measure-ments of relative rates of reaction have the ad-vantage that the comparison of the reactivities of the various proteins, which are present together in a mixture, must undergo reaction under identi-cal conditions and thus there are no uncontrolled variables which may exist when the reactions of the individual proteins are run separately. The relative alteration of various proteins can be determined by using the protein specific antibody to isolate the individual proteins; or the rela-tive alteration of the antibody can be determined by using the specific antigen to isolate the altered antibody.Since our research group has been interestedin the iodination of antibodies to tissues, 5 we carried out the present investigation to determine the relative reaction rate constant6 for iodination of antibody and other serum components, and the effect of iodination on antibody activity. The iodination of proteins has been rather widely studied and it is known that iodine probably attaches itself to the tyrosine rests and perhaps thehistidine rests, and can oxidize various parts of the protein molecule. 7a The iodination of antisera was first carried out by Breinl and Hauro-witz7b who showed that increasing degrees of iodination decreased the agglutinating power ofhorse antisera specific toward paratyphoid A, para-
