Amino Acid Sequence of an Amyloid Fibril Protein of Unknown Origin

From the ¹ Immunology Branch, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland 20014
² Laboratory of Experimental Pathology, National Institute of Arthritis and Metabolic Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland 20014

A group of human amyloid fibril proteins having chemical homology and antigenic similarities to immunoglobulin light polypeptide chains has been previously described. The amino acid sequence of a different type of human amyloid fibril protein is reported. This protein lacks valine, proline, threonine, and half-cystine and its sequence is not homologous with any presently known immunoglobulin sequence. This sequence defines a new class of amyloid fibril proteins of as yet unknown origin.
