Abstract
A monoclonal antibody, CG4, was raised to a novel 60 kDa metalloproteinase purified from a bovine brain myelin glycoprotein fraction. Glycoproteins extracted from both myelin and nine different bovine tissues showed the 60 kDa CG4-immunoreactive band by immunoblotting in amounts that broadly paralleled enzymic activity of this metalloproteinase and varied relatively little among the tissues.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
