Presence of Two Types of L Polypeptide Chains in Guinea Pig 7s Immunoglobulins
نویسندگان
چکیده
Guinea pig 7S immunoglobulins (gamma(1) and gamma(2)) consist of two groups of molecules (K and L) bearing different types of L chains (kappa and lambda). Approximately one-third of the molecules in normal guinea pig gamma(2)-globulin bear the lambda- type of L chains, and all or most of the others bear kappa-chains. kappa- and lambda-chains have similar molecular weights.

Quantitative Variations in L Chain Types in Guinea Pig Antihapten Antibodies* by Victor Nussenzweig, M.d., and Baruj Benacerraf, M.d
I t is well known that mammalian immunoglobulins x consist of two types of polypeptide chains, H and L (1, 2). In human ]mmunoglobulins, L chains were found to be of two distinct types (a and )~) which differ widely in their amino acid composition and in the peptides which can be detected by fingerprint analysis (3). Two types of molecules (K or I,) bearing either Kor ),-types of L chains, in a...
متن کاملBRONCHODILATORY AND AN TICHOLINERGIC EFFECTS OF Carum copticum ON ISOLATED GUINEA PIG TRACHEAL CHAINS
Carum copticum is a grassy and annual plant which is believed to have several therapeutic effects, including anti-asthmatic properties. We have therefore studied the bronchodilatory and anticholinergic effects of 4 rnL aqueous extract (AE), 0.0 5 mL ethanol extract (EE), and 0.0 0 5 mL essential oil (EO) of Carum copticum and 1 rnL of a 5 mM solution of its main ingredient, thymol (T), in ...
متن کاملAntihistaminic Effect of Bunium persicum on Guinea Pig Tracheal Chains
In a previous study, the relaxant and anticholinergic (functional antagonism) effects of Bunium persicum (B. persicum ) have been demonstrated on guinea pig tracheal chains. To elucidate the other mechanisms responsible for this relaxant effect, the inhibitory effect of this plant on histamine H1 receptors was examined in this study. The antihistaminic effects of aqueous and macerated extracts,...
متن کاملReconstitution of 7s Molecules from L and H Polypeptide Chains of Antibodies and Γ-globulins
Admixture of separated L and H polypeptide chains of 7S gamma-globulins under appropriate conditions has been found to result in the reconstitution of 7S molecules. The chains were mixed in 0.5 N propionic acid and when dialyzed into neutral aqueous buffers interacted to form reconstituted material in greater than 30 per cent yield. This material had sedimentation coefficients of 6S to 7S, a we...

The β2-adrenergic effects of macerated extract, aqueous extract, ethanol extract, and essential oil of Carum copticum, 5 nM propranolol, and saline were tested by performing cumulative Log concentration-response curves of isoprenaline-induced relaxation of precontracted isolated guinea pig tracheal chains in three different conditions including: non-incubated (group 1, n=9) incubated with 1...
