Ferritin was isolated from the fungus Phycomyces blakesleeanus and compared biochemically and immunologically with horse spleen ferritin. Phycomyces and horse spleen ferritins were shown to exhibit similar electrophoretic patterns on polyacrylamide gels. Both preparations yielded an identical single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate-containing polyacrylamide gels. Tryptic digests of Phycomyces fer...

exsheathing fluid (ef) and excretory-secretory products (es) of infective third-stage cultured larvae ofostertagia circumcincta were analysed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (sdspage). five and seven predominant proteins were found in the ef and es products, respectively. immunoblotting by sheep pre-infection serum did not react with any of the ef and es proteins, b...

We describe a procedure for the convenient separation of proteins by sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of urine from cases of renal disease. A precipitation method that requires no special apparatus was used to concentrate the urinary proteins; for electrophoretic separation we used a commercially supplied polyacrylamide/cellulose gel slab. This method seems to be valuab...

A proteoglycan was isolated from fetal membranes which had been separated from human postpartum placenta. The glycosaminoglycan side chains (Mr = 55,000) were found to be composed of 75% chondroitin sulfate and 23% dermatan sulfate as determined by chondroitinase ABC or AC II digestion. NH2-terminal microsequencing of the intact proteoglycan revealed a single amino acid sequence of (sequence; s...
