Notes:
The heavy (H) chains of three anti-streptococcal group A carbohydrate antibodies (anti-SACHO) of restricted heterogeneity, elicited in inbred Sprague-Dawley rats, were subjected to 40 cycles of automated Edman degradation. All three antibody H-chain preparations had an identical amino acid sequence and were classified as a variant of the VHIII subgroup of immunoglobulin H chains. A comparison of the H-chain sequence of these antibodies with that of pooled rat gamma chains suggests that a very minor population of H chains (closely related to the VHIII subgroup) has been ‘recruited’ as a consequence of this immunization. This observation further supports the notion that ‘framework’ and ‘specificity’ or “hypervariable regions” are closely linked.
