1. The immunological cross-reactivity between rabbit collagenases from a variety of normal and pathological sources was examined. The specific antibody raised against collagenase secreted from normal rabbit synovial fibroblasts gave reactions of complete identity with collagenases secreted from fibroblasts derived from rabbit skin, and from synovium from experimentally arthritic rabbits. 2. The rabbit fibroblast collagenase was immunologically identical with collagenases obtained from the organ culture medium of normal rabbit skin, synovium, ear fibrocartilage and subchondral bone. 3. Collagenases from the culture media of normal rabbit synovium and from hyperplastic synovium of rabbits made experimentally arthritic were identical. 4. The collagenase secreted from rabbit fibroblasts gave a reaction completely identical with that of a collagenase extracted directly from a rabbit carcinoma. 5. IgG (immunoglobulin G) from a specific antiserum to rabbit fibroblast collagenase was a potent inhibitor of the collagenases obtained from the culture media of the various rabbit cells and tissues. 6. Collagenases from human synovium and from mouse macrophages and bone were neither precipitated nor inhibited by antibodies to rabbit collagenase. 7. No immunoreactive material was found in lysates of rabbit polymorphonuclear leucocyte granules with the specific antisera to rabbit fibroblast collagenase. No evidence for inactive forms of rabbit collagenase in lysates of the rabbit synovial fibroblasts could be found, either by double immunodiffusion against the specific collagenase, or by displacement of active enzyme from inhibition by the IgG. 相似文献

Analysis of the quantitative precipitin reaction of acylphosphatase from porcine skeletal muscle with rabbit antiserum indicated the presence of at least two antigenic determinants on the porcine enzyme molecule. Immunological cross-reactivities of acylphosphatases from equine and rabbit skeletal muscles were examined. In double immunodiffusion with the antiserum, the precipitin lines of the porcine and equine enzymes completely fused, while the rabbit enzyme gave no precipitin line. The reaction between the 125I-labeled porcine enzyme and its antibody was inhibited to the same extent by the porcine and equine enzymes, but not by the rabbit enzyme. The three enzymes were similar in net charge and molecular weight on polyacrylamide gel electrophoreses. No conformational difference among the three enzymes was observed in their circular dichroism spectra. The amino acid composition of the rabbit enzyme differed from those of the porcine and equine enzymes in the contents of Glu, Gly, Lys, and Arg. Differences in the sequence of the rabbit enzyme from that of the porcine enzyme were investigated by comparison of the peptide maps of the tryptic peptides of the two enzymes. Four peptides of the rabbit enzyme were located at different positions from those of the porcine enzyme. Three of the four peptides from both enzymes were sequenced and all the tryptic peptides of both enzymes were characterized by amino acid analysis. The tryptic peptides of rabbit enzyme were tentatively aligned on the basis of their amino acid compositions and sequence homologies, compared with the corresponding peptides of the porcine enzyme. Among five amino acid residues of the porcine enzyme, Arg-4, Asp-28, Arg-31, Glu-56, and Ile-68, which are replaced in the rabbit enzyme, Arg-4 and Asp-28 are considered to be included in the antigenic determinants. 相似文献

Further comparison of calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II from brain and calmodulin-dependent glycogen synthase kinase from skeletal muscle 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II was purified from rabbit brain and its properties were compared with those of calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II from rat brain and calmodulin-dependent glycogen synthase kinase from rabbit skeletal muscle. Rabbit brain calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II was clearly distinguished from rabbit skeletal muscle glycogen synthase kinase with respect to size, behavior on autophosphorylation, immunological cross-reactivity and peptide mapping, but was indistinguishable from rat brain calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II in all respects examined. Thus, differences between calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II and glycogen synthase kinase appear not to reflect a species difference but to reflect a tissue difference. 相似文献

Sensitized rabbit lung fragments release a platelet-activating factor (PAFL) after challenge with specific antigen or monospecific antibody to rabbit IgE. This release requires calcium and is less evident in lungs from rabbits producing IgG as well as IgE antibody. The PAFL released from lung stimulates the secretion of serotonin from washed rabbit platelets. PAFL is distinguishable from ADP or thrombin and has properties similar to PAF derived from basophils (PAFB). It is not, however, identical to PAFB since rabbit platelets specifically desenitized to PAF still respond by releasing serotonin if stimulated with PAFL. 相似文献

Calcium-activated neutral proteases (CANPs) were purified from rabbit skeletal muscle and chicken skeletal muscle, and compared as to their electrophoretic properties, metal requirements, subunit amino acid compositions and immunological cross-reactivities. Two kinds of CANPs (mu CANP and mCANP) were isolated from rabbit but the chicken tissue lacked one corresponding to mu CANP. They were acidic in the order of chicken mCANP, rabbit mCANP, and rabbit mu CANP but the difference between the former two was very small. All of them were composed of two subunits, so-called 80K and 30K subunits. The molecular weight of the 30K subunit was the same for these CANPs (28K) but those of the 80K subunit were different (79K for rabbit mu CANP, 75K for rabbit mCANP and 81K for chicken mCANP). The calcium-sensitivity of chicken mCANP was very high when compared with that of rabbit mCANP and close to that of rabbit mu CANP. Antisera against chicken CANP and those against rabbit CANP cross-reacted with rabbit CANP and chicken CANP, respectively, when examined by immunoelectrotransfer blot techniques. 相似文献

1. Ca2+-ATPase of myosin and electrophoretic pattern of light chains of myosin were investigated in cardiac muscles of 22-day-old rabbit embryos, new-born and adult rabbits. 2. Ca2+-ATPase activity was found to decrease during development and in contrast to that of adult rabbit, cardiac myosin prepared from 22-day-old embryos, is stable on exposure to pH 9.5. 3. Myosin from the cardiac muscle of rabbit embryos reveals light chains of both fast and slow types, that from adult animals, however, reveals light chains of the slow type only. 4. These studies suggest that unlike the cardiac muscle of adult rabbit, cardiac muscle of rabbit embryos contains both fast and slow types of myosin. 相似文献

A new form of skeletal-muscle C-protein has been isolated from rabbit soleus (red) muscle. This new form of C-protein has been purified to homogeneity by a procedure similar to that used to purify C-protein from white skeletal muscle. In soleus muscle, only this new form of C-protein could be detected, whereas in psoas (white) muscle, only the previously identified form of C-protein was detected. The content of C-protein in rabbit soleus muscle is comparable with that found in psoas muscle. Other rabbit skeletal muscles composed of a mixture of fibre types contained at least two forms of C-protein. C-Protein derived from red skeletal muscle bound to myosin isolated from either red or white tissue, with maximum binding occurring at a ratio of approximately 13 microgram of red C-protein/100 microgram of myosin. Polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate indicated that C-protein isolated from red skeletal muscle has a molecular weight approx. 7% greater than that of C-protein isolated from white skeletal muscle. The amino acid content of both forms of C-protein was similar but major differences in the mol % of isoleucine and threonine were found. Antiserum against C-protein from white rabbit skeletal muscle formed a single precipitin line with rabbit C-protein on double in agar. This antiserum did not form a precipitin line when diffused against red C-protein from rabbit skeletal muscle. Also, this antiserum bound specifically to the A-band region of myofibrils isolated from psoas (white) muscle, but it did not bind to myofibrils prepared from soleus (red) muscle. 相似文献

Myosin-like protein was obtained from E. coli by extraction with a sucrose solution and by precipitation with rabbit skeletal actin. The preparation of E. coli myosin-like protein looked very similar, in the sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoretic pattern, to that of rabbit skeletal myosin. The myosin-like protein was able to reversibly bind to rabbit actin. It had the activities of EDTA-, Ca-, and Mg-ATPases. The product in the EDTA-ATPase reaction catalyzed by the myosin-like protein was identified as ADP by ion exchange chromatography. The Mg-ATPase activity of E. coli myosin-like protein was activated by either rabbit actin or E. coli actin-like protein though the activation was much stronger by the latter. However, the myosin-like protein did not exhibit superprecipitation either with rabbit actin or with E. coli actin-like protein. Actin-like protein was also obtained from E. coli by essentially the same procedures as those described for preparation of rabbit skeletal actin. E. coli actin-like protein was capable of activating Mg-ATPase of rabbit myosin, and also of superprecipitation with rabbit myosin. Extraction from both the whole cells and the membrane fraction of E. coli strongly suggested that the myosin-like protein and the actin-like protein are both localized in the membrane fraction rather than in the cytoplasmic fraction. 相似文献

A cDNA encoding rabbit endothelin-1 (ET-1) was isolated by plaque hybridization from a rabbit inferior vena caval endothelial cell lambda gt11 cDNA library using human ET-1 cDNA as the hybridization probe. DNA sequence analysis indicates that mature 21 amino acid rabbit ET-1 is derived from a 202 amino acid precursor, via a 39 amino acid intermediate 'big' ET-1. 相似文献

1. Excellent precipitating antibodies to rabbit recombined casein polypeptides were obtained in a sheep after 8 weeks of immunization with rabbit recombined polypeptides coupled to Sepharose-albumin. 2. The antiserum was assessed for specificity by several immunochemical techniques and was monospecific when tested against acid-precipitated casein, recombined casein and extracts of lactating rabbit mammary tissue. 3. A specific anti-casein immunoglobulin fraction was prepared by immunoadsorption of the antiserum by using Sepharose-recombined casein as immunoadsorbent. 4. The specific anti-casein immunoglobulin was used to prepare a Sepharose-anti-casein immunoadsorbent for the isolation of casein from extracts of rabbit mammary tissue. 相似文献

Rabbits were given various doses of rabbit surfactant and treatment doses of approximately 100 mg/kg body wt of calf surfactant and Surfactant TA by tracheal injection. The linear loss of radiolabeled phosphatidylcholine from the total lung (alveolar wash and lung tissue) was 3.1, 1.5, and 1.8%/h for rabbit surfactant, calf surfactant, and Surfactant TA, respectively. After 24 h only 6% rabbit, 19% calf, and 9.7% Surfactant TA phosphatidylcholine were recovered by alveolar wash, and alveolar macrophage fractions contained less than 1% of the injected labeled phosphatidylcholine. The loss of rabbit surfactant phosphatidylcholine 24 h after tracheal injection did not change for doses in the range of 0.5-70 mumol phosphatidylcholine per kilogram, indicating nonsaturable clearance pathways. Very little of the labeled rabbit surfactant phosphatidylcholine lost from the lungs could be recovered in other organs, and 90% of the recovered labeled phosphatidylcholine in the liver was unsaturated, implying de novo synthesis using precursors from degraded phosphatidylcholine. The surfactant did not change endogenous lung phosphatidylcholine synthesis or its secretion to the alveolus. There were no adverse effects of the surfactant treatments noted in healthy rabbits. 相似文献

1. Lysate is prepared from guinea-pig reticulocytes and its translation activity is compared both quantitatively and qualitatively with that found in rabbit reticulocyte lysates. 2. Guinea-pigs are comparatively resistant to acetylphenylhydrazine, a drug used to induce reticulocytosis in rabbits. 3. The characteristics and conditions for maximal translation activity in guinea-pig reticulocyte lysates are quite similar to those described for rabbit reticulocyte systems with the possible exception of the components necessary for providing high energy phosphate bonds. 4. Both rabbit globin and brome mosaic virus messenger RNAs direct protein synthesis in the guinea pig translation system with activity similar to that found in the rabbit system. 5. Translation products synthesized in the guinea-pig and rabbit systems and fluorographed following separation on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide demonstrate similar electrophoretic patterns and intensities. 相似文献

1. Fifteen marine algal species were analyzed for agglutinins to rabbit, sheep and human A, B and O blood group erythrocytes. 2. Protein extracts from all marine algae agglutinated rabbit erythrocytes, whereas twelve and five extracts agglutinated sheep and human erythrocytes, respectively. 3. The highest agglutination titers were consistently observed with rabbit erythrocytes. 4. Dictyota dichotoma strongly agglutinated human B blood group erythrocytes relative to A and O group erythrocytes. 5. Agglutination titer of rabbit erythrocytes by six algal extracts was not inhibited by mono- or polysaccharides, yet was reduced by glycoproteins. 相似文献

Cytosolic and mitochondrial isozymes of aspartate aminotransferase (L-aspartate:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase [EC 2.6.1.1] ) were purified to homogeneity from rabbit liver. The rabbit liver isozymes were closely similar to the corresponding isozymes from other sources, including human heart, pig heart, chicken heart, and rat liver, in their molecular weights, absorption spectra, amino acid compositions, isoelectric points, and Michaelis constants for the substrates. The NH2-terminal amino acid sequences of rabbit liver isozymes were identified up to 30 residues, and showed some differences from those of the corresponding isozymes obtained from other animals so far studied. 相似文献

The chemical composition of mucin prepared from rabbit small intestines was compared with that of commercial pig gastric mucin. Changes in carbohydrate structure of both mucins after degradation by rabbit cecal bacteria were monitored with the periodic acid-Schiff's reaction (PAS), gas-liquid chromatography, and blood group serology. Out of 220 bacterial isolates from the rabbit cecal microflora, 37 were able to remove more than 25% of PAS-reactive mucin material from pig gastric mucin, which was more easily digested than the rabbit preparation.Bacteroides spp. were most active in mucin digestion, but nonmucinolytic cecal isolates could also use the oligosaccharides likely to be released by this activity. 相似文献

The A band of skeletal muscle consists of an array of thick myosin-containing filaments along with non-myosin proteins such as C protein and M line protein. In order to study the arrangement of the myosin and non-myosin components, A segments which are aggregations of thick filaments held together at the M line were prepared from glycerinated chicken pectoral and rabbit psoas muscles and examined by electron microscopy. Details of the preparative technique and comparison of the morphologies of A segments and I segments are provided. The A segments from chicken pectoral muscle exhibited 11 to 12 stripes in each half lateral to the bare zone. Several less distinct bands as well as subdivisions of the individual stripes were also observed. The periodicity of the major stripes in the A segments was 424 +/- 10 A. The A segments prepared from rabbit psoas muscle had a periodicity of 432 +/- 13 A, but in contrast with chicken A segments, fewer rabbit A segments showed this periodicity. We conclude that A segments can be separated from glycerinated chicken and rabbit skeletal muscles and compare our results with those of others who prepared A segments from frog and rabbit skeletal muscles in the absence of glycerol. 相似文献

During a comparison of 16S rDNA PCR-denaturant gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) profiles of methanogenic archaea from rumen fluid, rabbit caecum and pig feces, a unique band common to all rabbit caecum samples was observed. DGGE profiling also showed that the methanogen community from the New Zealand White adult rabbits is different and less complex than the methanogen communities from the rumen and pig feces. Small subunit ribosomal gene sequences of methanogenic archaea were subsequently retrieved from the constructed rabbit caecum 16S rDNA gene library. Results of the phylogenetic analysis indicated that rabbit caecum is inhabited by members of the genus Methanobrevibacter and is possibly one-species dominated, because all the retrieved sequences exhibited similarity values of 99% or higher. This species may well be a novel species of the genus Methanobrevibacter. It belongs to a distinct phylogenetic group containing Methanobrevibacter woesei, Methanobrevibacter thaueri and Methanobrevibacter gottschalkii strains isolated from animal feces, and Methanobrevibacter smithii from the predominating methanogen population of the human large bowel. 相似文献

1. An acidic protein with properties similar to those of troponin C from rabbit skeletal muscle has been shown to be present in bovine and rabbit smooth muscles, chicken gizzard and rabbit liver, kidney and lung. 2. A simple new method involving the use of organic solvents is described for the purification of the troponin C-like proteins from various tissues. 3. The troponin C-like proteins can be distinguished from rabbit skeletal-muscle toponin C by their electrophoretic behaviour on polyacrylamide gels at pH 8.3 in the presence and absence of Ca2+. The troponin C-like proteins have been shown to form complexes with rabbit skeletal-muscle troponin I that migrate on electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels. 4. Behaviour on electrophoresis, amino acid analysis and the patterns of CNBr digests on polyacrylamide gels indicate that the troponin C-like proteins from bovine uterus and aorta, rabbit uterus, and liver and chicken gizzard are very similar to, if not identical with, bovine brain modulator protein. 5. With bovine cardiac muscle the organic-solvent method yields a preparation consisting of roughly similar amounts of troponin C and troponin C-like protein. 6. By the isotope-dilution technique, troponin C-like protein has been shown to represent 0.42% of the total protein in rabbit uterus. 7. In homogenates of smooth muscle, rabbit lung, kidney and brain, the troponin C-like proteins form a complex with other protein (or proteins) that requires Ca2+ for its formation and that is not dissociated in 9M-urea. 相似文献

A case of conjunctivitis in a rabbit caused by a Haemophilus sp. is described. This was the only organism that was isolated in large numbers from the infected eye. The uninfected eye of the same rabbit contained Staphylococcus epidermidis, Corynebacterium kutscheri, Proteus mirabilis and a Neisseria sp. Effects of infection with live Haemophilus sp. isolated from the subject rabbit was studied in the eyes of rabbits and mice. Swabbing live organisms in the normal rabbit eye produced blepharitis within 48 hours. Signs of blepharitis started to disappear after 10 days without treatment. No reaction was noted in the control eye (swabbed with sterile saline) of the rabbit. Swabbing live organisms or sterile saline in the normal mouse eye failed to produce visible lesions up to 4 weeks. Evidence suggests that the Haemophilus sp. was pathogenic for rabbits but not for mice. 相似文献
