Antibody binding by native and denatured myosin and paramyosinMJ Elfvin, RJ Levine, FA Pepe and MM Dewey
By the techniques of immunodiffusion and fluorescent immunohistochemistry we show that antibodies to both the native and the SDS-denatured forms of the proteins, paramyosin and myosin, react with the native, SDS-denatured and glutaraldehyde-fixed forms of their respective antigens. Anti-denatured myosin also binds to both native and denatured forms of the proteolytic subfragments of myosin: globular subfragment-1 and alpha-helical LMM. Anti-native myosin, on the other hand, while able to bind to both native and denatured LMM or rod and to native and glutaraldehyde-fixed S-1, does not bind to SDS-denatured S-1.
