Abstract
Two monoclonal antibodies against the Val928-Lys945 fragment of the al pha-subunit of pig Na+,K+-ATPase were obtained. The location of their epitopes was determined inside the cell by the enzyme-linked immunoass ay method using intact and inverted cells (erythrocytes and pig embryo kidney cells) as antigens. By means of chemical modification and enzy matic degradation of the Val928-Lys945 fragment, the epitopes of these monoclonal antibodies were determined in detail. Based on the obtaine d data, models of the transmembrane organization of the COOH-terminal region of Na+,K+-ATPase alpha-subunit were proposed.
