[Detection of the common features in the antigenic structure and the spectra of the phosphoprotein kinase activity proper of the water-soluble fractions of DNA-free nuclear nonhistone proteins from hepatomas and the liver in rats following a single administration of hepatocarcinogens].

By means of the reaction of specific inhibition of precipitation in agarose gel and using the rabbit immune sera against nuclear nonhistone proteins (NHP) in the NHP-DNA complexes isolated from the rat kidney it is shown that the single intraperitoneal injection of hepatocarcinogens, 4-dimethylaminoazobenzene (DAB) or N-nitrosodiethylamine (DEN) induces the appearance of hetero-organic antigens of the kidney nature in the NHP pattern of the liver. These antigens identical, as it proved to be, to the same NHP-antigens from the cells of transplantable rat hepatoma 27 and ascitic Zajdela hepatoma could be found in the NHP pattern of the rat liver during 1 to 12 and 1 to 64 days after the DAB and DEN injection, respectively. In all cases when the hetero-organic NHP-antigens were found the profiles of proper phosphoprotein kinase activity of the fractions of NHP eluted by 0.4-0.5 M NaCl using gradient chromatography on phosphocellulose contained peaks that were not characteristic to the liver NHP but were typical of NHP from the intact rat kidney. In the SDS-PAAG electrophoresis the mentioned fractions form one line with the molecular weight 15000-20000.
