title: Structural restriction and similarities of the light chains of antibodies to group B streptococcal carbohydrate produced in a single rabbit.
abstract: Comparison of the amino acid compositions, N-terminal amino acids and tryptic peptide maps of two L chains (145 LI and 145 LII) derived from antibodies produced in a single rabbit to group B streptococci indicates a high degree of sequence homology of the two chains. Furthermore, comparison of these data with similar analysis of L chains prepared from pooled antibodies to group B streptococci indicates a high degree of V region restriction in the L chains of antibodies elicited by hyperimmunization with streptococci.
