This report concerns "fragment I dimer", the product of the consecutive action of insoluble papain and dodecylsulfate on rabbit gamma-globulin, and "pepsin product," the product of exhaustive pepsin proteolysis of gamma-globulin. Improved procedures are reported for the preparation of both these immunologically divalent products free of any detectable contamination with antigenic determinants associated with fragment HL The measured S20, W, and D20, w for fragment I dimer were 4.96 S and 5.63 x 10-7 cm2/sec, and for pepsin product were 4.86 S and 5.11 x lO-7 cm2/sec. The mw sD of fragment I dimer was 84,000 and of pepsin product was 90,700. The fragment I dimer and pepsin product were compared by a number of other criteria, including antibody activity, content of antigenic determinants, electro-phoretic mobility in agar gel, and ability to re-form after reduction by reassociation of univalent fragments. The two products differed most when compared by the latter criterion. The fragments produced by reduction of pepsin product recombined in good yield while under the same conditions the two moieties of fragment I dimer did not. Brief treatment with insolbuel papain, either before pepsin proteolysis, or before or after reduction of the pepsin product, resulted in loss of ability of the univalent fragments to recombine under standard conditions.
