Article Description

Immunochemical methods for the quantitative determination of radioactive proteins synthesized by chick embryo hepatocyte cultures are described. Cell culture medium containing secreted labeled serum proteins was concentrated and applied to agarose gels containing rabbit anti-chicken serum. Nonspecific binding in control gels was reduced to less than 2% of applied counts under conditions where more than 60% of the nondialyzable counts were precipitated in the presence of antibody. Labeled cytosol fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (Fru-P 2 ase) from cell sonicates was selectively adsorbed onto columns containing Sepharose-immobilized anti-chicken liver Fru-P 2 ase. Radioactivity bound on these columns was eluted with 1% sodium dodecyl sulfate for electrophoretic analysis. Addition of dialyzed horse serum was used in both cases to minimize nonspecific binding. These techniques provide simple alternatives to direct immunoprecipitations in solution where nonspecific binding of radioactivity may be unacceptably high.
