Abstract:
A protein, isolated from chicken serum, showed the following beta 2-microglobulin-like properties; an apparent molecular size of 12000 Mr, predominantly beta-sheet secondary structure, and antigenic cross-reaction with human beta 2-microglobulin. However, amino acid composition analysis and partial amino acid sequence analysis showed that this molecule was not only not a beta 2-microglobulin, but was unrelated to any other known class of protein.
