Abstract
Erythrocyte C3b receptors (ECR1) have been measured in 122 pairs of twins (60 monozygotic, 62 dizygotic) using an [125I]-labelled monoclonal antibody (E11). The range of ECR1 numbers was wide, 99-4179 sites/cell, with a log-normal distribution around a geometric mean of 837 sites/cell. The intra-pair variance in dizygotic twins was no greater than that in monozygotic twins. These data indicate that ECR1 numerical expression is governed by environmental rather than genetic factors.Mesh:
