Abstract
Sequence analysis and ordering of the soluble tryptic peptides of one Bence Jones protein and comparison with partial sequence data for another have revealed many structural differences in the half of the molecule with the terminal amino group, but only one structural difference in the half of the molecule having the terminal carboxyl group. Somatic chromosomal rearrangements may effect such changes and account for variability in antibody structure.Keywords
