Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
In order to evaluate binding specificities of anti-F(ab′) 2 antibodies from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and from normal healthy controls, F(ab′) 2 fragments were prepared from 24 IgG myelomas with defined isoelectric points, DNA-associated idiotypes, and κ/λ light chain types. Using ELISA and hemagglutination assays, anti-F(ab′) 2 antibodies from 12 healthy controls and 29 SLE patients were observed to exhibit preferential binding (λ > κ) to myeloma F(ab′) 2 fragments composed of λ light chains ( P < 0.0001). No correlation of anti-F(ab′) 2 binding and presence of cationic, neutral, or anionic isoelectric points or for DNA-associated idiotypes on monoclonal F(ab′) 2 was detected. Anti-F(ab′) 2 antibodies, often elevated in SLE during remission, show preferential specificity for F(ab′) 2 fragments bearing λ light chains.
