By SDS/PAGE analysis we have observed that human synovial cell monolayers secrete a prominent 39 kDa protein which could not be detected in skin and lung fibroblasts. This protein was purified to homogeneity by heparin-Sepharose chromatography and reverse-phase h.p.l.c. The N-terminal sequence was found to be almost identical to that of a recently described bovine protein detected in the mammary secretions during the involutionary phase of the lactational cycle. Characterization of this 39 kDa protein may provide a useful marker for classification of connective tissue cells.
通过SDS/PAGE分析,我们观察到人类滑膜细胞单层分泌一种显著的39 kDa蛋白质,而在皮肤和肺成纤维细胞中未检测到这种蛋白质。该蛋白质通过肝素-琼脂糖层析和反相高效液相色谱法纯化至同质。发现其N端序列与最近描述的一种在泌乳周期退化阶段乳腺分泌物中检测到的牛蛋白质的序列几乎相同。对这种39 kDa蛋白质的特性进行表征可能为结缔组织细胞的分类提供一个有用的标志物。
