A specific antiserum to lysosomal cathepsin D

PMCID: PMC1455890  PMID: 4981915

Abstract

A specific antiserum to adult chicken liver cathepsin D was prepared by injecting rabbits with precipitin lines formed in agar gel between a purified enzyme preparation and a polyvalent antiserum. The specific antiserum was used to show the identity of cathepsin D from liver with that from spleen, heart, kidney, testis and brain of the adult, and from limb bones of the embryo chicken.
