A 12,000 molecular weight (12 kD) peptide which did not relate to immunoglobulins or complements was purified from the supernatants of dispase-treated red cells of four patients with autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA). The isoelectric point (pI) was about 5.3. This peptide was not obtained from normal persons and patients with other haemolytic anaemias. The peptide and the red cell autoantibody disappeared in a patient with angio-immunoblastic lymphadenopathy with dysproteinaemia (AILD) after intensive chemotherapy. The result indicates an abnormality in the composition of red cell membrane proteins in AIHA.

D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides
