Abstract:
The cysteinyl peptides of monomeric and polymeric IgA were studied by comparative autoradiography. Autoradiographies of polymeric IgA (containing or lacking J chain) showed an extra cysteinyl peptide which was never found in the monomeric forms. A similar peptide was obtained when reduced IgA was cleaved by BrCN. The possible identity of this fragment is discussed.
