Abstract
The antibody molecule consists of several polypeptide chains. Peptides, which appear to have been derived from the binding region of the rabbit-antibody molecule directed against p -azobenzenearsonate, have been isolated. The particular polypeptide chain from which these peptides are derived has now been identified as the B chain described by Fleischman, Pain, and Porter.Keywords
