Heavy chains of IgG, IgA, and IgM classes of human immunoglobulins were compared by N-terminal residue determination and partial amino acid sequence analysis. A third subclass of the variable region of heavy chains was observed; an unblocked glutamic acid as the N-terminal residue is characteristic of this subclass. Our results indicated that the heavy chain variable region subclasses are not class specific, and that a given heavy chain variable region may be found in association with constant regions for mu-chains, alpha-chains, or gamma-chains of various subclasses.
通过N端残基测定和部分氨基酸序列分析,对人免疫球蛋白IgG、IgA和IgM类的重链进行了比较。观察到重链可变区的第三个亚类;以未封闭的谷氨酸作为N端残基是该亚类的特征。我们的结果表明,重链可变区亚类不是类别特异性的,并且给定的重链可变区可能与不同亚类的μ链、α链或γ链的恒定区相关联。
