Jw. Ryan et al., IMMUNOAFFINITY PURIFICATIONS OF AMINOPEPTIDASE-P FROM GUINEA-PIG LUNGS, KIDNEY AND SERUM, Biochemical and biophysical research communications, 205(3), 1994, pp. 1796-1802
Previously, aminopeptidase P (AmP) has been purified from mammalian ti
ssues by highly laborious multistep chromatography procedures. To simp
lify purifications, we raised a monoclonal antibody to guinea pig seru
m AmP and used the antibody to prepare an immunoaffinity matrix. The i
mmunoaffinity matrix was used to obtain highly purified forms of AmP f
rom guinea pig lungs, kidney and serum. The antibody is reactive with
rat and human forms of AmP and may simplify procedures needed for thei
r purifications. (C) 1994 Academic Press, Inc.
