Talmadge and Roy (J. Appl. Physiol. 1993, 75, 2337-2340) previously established a sodium dodecyl sulfate - polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) protocol for separating all four rat skeletal muscle myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms (MHC I, IIa, IIx, IIb); however, when applied to human muscle, the type II MHC isoforms (Ila, IIx) are not clearly distinguished. In this brief paper we describe a modification of the SDS-PAGE protocol which yields distinct and consistent separation of all three adult human MHC isoforms (MHC I, IIa, IIx) in a minigel system. MHC specificity of each band was confirmed by Western blot using three monoclonal IgG antibodies (mAbs) immunoreactive against MHCI (mAb MHCs, Novacastra Laboratories), MHCI+IIa (mAb BF-35), and MHCIIa+IIx (mAb SC-71). Results provide a valuable SDS-PAGE minigel technique for separating MHC isoforms in human muscle without the difficult task of casting gradient gels.
塔尔梅奇和罗伊(《应用生理学杂志》,1993年,75卷,2337 - 2340页)之前建立了一种十二烷基硫酸钠 - 聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳(SDS - PAGE)方法,用于分离大鼠骨骼肌的所有四种肌球蛋白重链(MHC)同工型(MHC I、IIa、IIx、IIb);然而,当应用于人类肌肉时,II型MHC同工型(IIa、IIx)无法清晰区分。在这篇简短的论文中,我们描述了对SDS - PAGE方法的一种改进,该改进能在微型凝胶系统中对所有三种成人MHC同工型(MHC I、IIa、IIx)进行清晰且一致的分离。通过使用三种针对MHC I(mAb MHCs,诺瓦卡斯托拉实验室)、MHC I + IIa(mAb BF - 35)和MHC IIa + IIx(mAb SC - 71)具有免疫反应性的单克隆IgG抗体(mAb)进行蛋白质印迹法,证实了每条带的MHC特异性。结果提供了一种有价值的SDS - PAGE微型凝胶技术,用于分离人类肌肉中的MHC同工型,而无需进行制备梯度凝胶这项困难的工作。
