To determine the characteristics of cardiac myosin in the conduction system, a pure Purkinje fiber preparation, consisting of atrioventricular nodes and the ventricular conduction system, was obtained from bovine hearts. Two types of myosin heavy chain isozymes, alpha-type and beta-type, were fractionated by affinity chromotography using monoclonal antibodies CMA19 and HMC50, which are specific...
