A combination of narrow range isoelectric focusing, electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gel, and gel exclusion on Sephadex reveals the presence of at least 9, possibly 11 isoenzymes of phospholipase A in Naja naja (cobra) venom. Their isoelectric points range from pH 4.60 to 5.66 and their molecular weights from 8,500 to 20,200. The most abundant form (isoelectric point = pH 4.95) has been isolat...

Tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) expressed on tumor cells from cattle with enzootic bovine leukosis were divided into three groups by using 13 monoclonal antibodies: common TAA; partially common TAA; and individually distinct TAA. TAA was extracted from tumor cells and purified by ion exchange chromatography on diethylaminoethyl-cellulose and isoelectric focusing. The common TAA, which was dete...

The hypothesis that a mixture of two ampholytes behaves, within certain limits, as an individual (1) with characteristics distinct from either component can also be semiquantitatively tested by certain conductivity experiments. These are based on the observation that the addition of such a substance as gelatin markedly decreases the observed conductivity of a phosphate solution. The magnitude o...

a total of 781 serum and 827 red cell samples from four populations of iran (kashan, ardestan, asrara and ardabil) were sub-typed by isoelectric focusing for group-specific componet and red cell enzyme phosphoglucomutase, locus one, respectively. heterogeneity test revealed no significant differences among the populations studied regarding both pgm1 and gc systems.
