IMMUNOLOGICAL RELATEDNESS OF STARFISH AND FISH HEXOSE 6-PHOSPHATE DEHYDROGENASES

Abstract

It has been demonstrated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and gel filtration on Ultrogel AcA 34 that rabbit antibody elicited to crucian carp hexose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase cross-reacts with starfish hexose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase. This supports our previous assumption that vertebrate and starfish hexose 6-phosphate dehydrogenases are homologous molecules.
