Abstract: | Rat hepatic Cd-metallothionein was purified and isolated into its two components, metallothionein 1 and 2, by disc electrophoresis. Antibodies to metallothionein 2 were generated in rabbits. The antiserum reacted with the protein and formed a single precipitin band on a double diffusion plate. By ammonium sulfate precipitations, it was found that the antiserum cross-reacted with rat hepatic metallothionein 1. Cross-reactivity of the antiserum was also observed for components of rat renal Cd-metallothionein, rabbit hepatic Cd-metallothionein and human renal metallothionein. |
