Of the many functional properties of the immunoglobulin G (IgG) molecule, only antigen binding and the interaction with the C1q component of complement have been shown to be uniquely associated with the individual compact domains which make up this immunoglobulin. The chemical and biological evidence for the exclusive association of the C1q-binding site with the CH2 domain is reviewed, affirming that the site probably is centered on the residues 279–295 which are located on the outside of the molecule and contain, in particular, three positively charged residues which are thought to be vital to the interaction. An alternative site (residues 316–338), having similar exposure and charge characteristics, is discussed and arguments are presented indicating why the former is currently favoured.

Energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS) performed at low (≤ 5 kV) accelerating voltages in the SEM has the potential for providing quantitative microanalytical information with a spatial resolution of ∼100 nm. In the present work, EDS analyses were performed on magnesium ferrite spinel [(MgxFe1−x)Fe2O4] dendrites embedded in a MgO matrix, as shown in Fig. 1. spatial resolution of X-ray microanalysis at conventional accelerating voltages is insufficient for the quantitative analysis of these dendrites, which have widths of the order of a few hundred nanometers, without deconvolution of contributions from the MgO matrix. However, Monte Carlo simulations indicate that the interaction volume for MgFe2O4 is ∼150 nm at 3 kV accelerating voltage and therefore sufficient to analyze the dendrites without matrix contributions.Single-crystal {001}-oriented MgO was reacted with hematite (Fe2O3) powder for 6 h at 1450°C in air and furnace cooled. The specimen was then cleaved to expose a clean cross-section suitable for microanalysis.
