Abstract
By the techniques of immunodiffusion and fluorescent immunohistochemistry we show that antibodies to both the native and the SDS-denatured forms of the proteins, paramyosin and myosin, react with the native, SDS-denatured and glutaraldehyde-fixed forms of their respective antigens. Anti-denatured myosin also binds to both native and denatured forms of the proteolytic subfragments of myosin: globular subfragment-1 and alpha-helical LMM. Anti-native myosin, on the other hand, while able to bind to both native and denatured LMM or rod and to native and glutaraldehyde-fixed S-1, does not bind to SDS-denatured S-1.
