Research Abstract |
Ca-ATPase protein was purified from the SR of Human skeletal muscle. A polyclonal antiserum was prepared in white rabbits using the Ca-ATPase protein as an antigen. The antibody identified 100KD protein of the SR on the immunoblot. Immunohistochemical studies were performed on cryostantt sections of various myopathies. In Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), the immunostain of SR Ca-ATPase was much decreased. A similar result was obtained in muscle of mdx mice. Tubular aggregates, intracellar structures, which were observed in periodic paralysis, strongly reacted to the antibody, suggesting their SR origin. In the brain and peripheral nerve of mice, a cross-reacting 100KD protein was not detected. However, weakly reacting 36KD protein was observed in these tissues.
