Variable region sequences.
Alignment of the primary sequences of 8A4 and 8A4-NP1 proteins with the germinally encoded VH558/DQ52/JH1 and Vκ21G/Jκ2 sequences. Dashes indicate identities. Residues potentially involved in cryoprecipitation or crystal formation are in bold (unusual residues typical of 8A4) or underlined (residues shared with other cryoglobulins). Stars indicate deleted residues. Amino acids are numbered according to Kabat.18
