  • Title: Products of trypsin digestion of haptoglobin beta (heavy) chain.
    Author: Dobryszycka W, Guszczyński T.
    Journal: Int J Biochem; 1985; 17(8):917-23. PubMed ID: 2412908.
    Abstract:
    Trypsin digestion of haptoglobin beta (heavy) chain resulted in five glycopeptides. The glycopeptides were characterized by carbohydrate and sulphydryl groups content; their molecular mass was determined by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence or absence of 2-mercaptoethanol. None glycopeptide possessed hemoglobin-binding capacity. glycopeptide I did not form any precipitate with antihaptoglobin serum but was shown to inhibit strongly the reaction of haptoglobin or beta chain with the antiserum. Glycopeptide II showed dominant antigenic determinants in relation to native haptoglobin and to beta chain. Reaction of this glycopeptide with concanavalin A was almost twice higher than the corresponding reaction of haptoglobin. Glycopeptides IV and V were inactive in the reaction with the lectin. Glycopeptide III exhibited relatively the strongest cross-reactivity with the specific antihaptoglobin serum while its inhibitory activity in the immunoreaction was the lowest.
