A hidden antigenic site localized to the constrant region of light chains of immunoglobulins.

An antigenic site, which was not immunochemically demonstrable in the intact kappa light polypeptide chain, was exposed by enzymatic cleavage of the kappa chain into its variant half and constant half. This antigenic site located in the constant region the kappa chain was detected immunochemically by several antiserums that had specificity for this site. Treatment of an intact kappa chain with a dissociating agent resulted in the exposure of the hidden antigenic site, which was as readily detected in the unfolded polypeptide chain as in the isolated constant half.

Gastroenteritis with necrotizing enterocolitis in premature babies.

Eleven premature babies developed necrotizing enterocolitis in an epidemic of gastroenteritis and salmonella infection. This occurred in one of two premature baby wards over a period of 10 weeks. All affected babies had severe gastroenteritis and six had salmonella infection. No cases of necrotizing enterocolitis occurred in the unaffected ward during the same period. All other possible factors which might have predisposed to necrotizing enterocolitis occurred with equal frequency in both wards.There seems little doubt that infection was the significant factor in the pathogenesis.
