Abstract
The partial amino acid sequence of the amyloid fibril protein isolated from the small intestine of a patient with plasma cell dyscrasia and associated amyloidosis has been determined and compared with the sequence of the κ-type Bence Jones protein isolated from the urine of the same patient. Identical sequences were observed for the 27 amino-terminal residues that could be compared. The C-terminal tryptic peptide of the amyloid protein was identical with that of the Bence Jones protein. Apparent molecular weights and amino acid compositions of the Bence Jones and amyloid proteins were similar. It appears, therefore, that the predominant protein present in the amyloid deposits in this patient was an intact κ-type light polypeptide chain that was identical with the urinary Bence Jones protein.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
