Autoantibodies against the 70-kD U1 RNP nucleoprotein autoantigen and DNA were elicited in normal BALB/c mice with a purified Ig light chain. This light chain, derived from a lupus-prone MRL-lpr/lpr mouse, has two distinctive properties: it contains an idiotypic marker recognized by a monoclonal MRL-lpr/lpr anti-snRNP autoantibody, and the amino acid sequence of its third hypervariable region (CDR3) is homologous to a sequence in an antigenic region of the 70-kD U1 RNP polypeptide. The results demonstrate that an Ig idiotype that mimics an autoantigen can induce autoimmunization.

A partial amino acid sequence was given by Cebra, Steiner & Porter (1968b) of the N-terminal half of the heavy chain of rabbit immunoglobulin G. This was extended and in part corrected to give a continuous sequence of 136 residues, which together with other work accounts for three-quarters of the total sequence. Evidence is given suggesting that there is a limited region of 10–15 residues that are exceptionally variable in the heavy chains from pooled rabbit immunoglobulin G.

1. The L2C lymphocytic leukaemia in strain-2 guinea pigs is accompanied by a protein in the urine resembling a homogenous immunoglobulin light chain. 2. The amino acid sequence over the first 20 residues demonstrates a close analogy with a human λ chain of V region subgroup IV. 3. The protein is apparently synthesized by the leukaemic cells and thus represents a monoclonal light chain, i.e. a Bence-Jones protein.
