Abstract

In the previous paper (Rejneket al., 1967) we described the fractionation of light chains (L) by Zn ions resulting in an accumulation of antigenic determinants of the heavy chain (H) in the Zn precipitate. Peptide maps of the obtained fractions of the L chains differ considerably from each other. Peptides of the L chains, the position of which corresponds within the experimental error to peptides of the H chain may be detected by comparing them with the peptide map of the H chains. The number of such peptides increases with qualitatively assayed accumulation of the component precipitated with anti-H serum during fractionation. The concentration of N-terminal glutamic acid, characteristic for the H chains increases at the same time.
