An X-ray study of horse methemoglobin. A complete three-dimensional Patterson synthesis of haemoglobin has been calculated, giving the distribution of vector density in thirty-one sections through the unit cell. The sections show certain concentrations of vector density which can be interpreted in terms of polypeptide chain structure. The following are the conclusions tentatively arrived at on the evidence described in this paper. The haemoglobin molecule resembles a cylinder of 57 angstrom diameter and 34 angstrom height, which consists of an assembly of polypeptide chains running parallel to the base of the cylinder. The chains s...
Nature of the heterogenetic hapten reacting with hemagglutinins in horse serum sickness. 1. From beef stroma pretreated at room temperature with acetone and alcohol, a fraction was isolated with boiling 100% alcohol which, in a dilution of 1:500,000, combines with the sheep blood agglutinin of human serum produced during serum sickness. Using the terminology of Schiff, this fraction corresponds to the heterogenetic serum sickness antigen; it could be separated to a large extent from the heterogenetic mononucleosis antigen which also occurs in beef stroma.
2. The so-called serum sickness antigen also occurs heterogenetically in guinea pig kidney and it could also be isolated from ...
