abstract：:MF-18, one of the monoclonal antibodies generated to chicken myosin, cross-reacted with rabbit skeletal myosin subfragment-1 (S1). Utilizing an improved procedure of immuno-blotting, a decrease in reactivity of MF-18 to S1 by trinitrophenylation was observed. This indicates that the reactive lysyl residue is very clos...
