Immuno-cross-reactivity between histidine decarboxylase (HDC) and dopa decarboxylase (DDC) was investigated. By comparing the cDNA sequences of rat HDC with rat and guinea-pig DDCs, we found a region that may possibly be related to the cross-reactivity of anti-rat HDC antibody with guinea-pig DDC. The peptide encoded by this region was synthesized and anti-peptide antibody was prepared. We also purified HDC and DDC homogeniously from fetal rat liver and guinea-pig liver, respectively. On immunoblotting, anti-peptide antibody recognized both rat HDC and guinea-pig DDC. Anti-HDC polyclonal antibody which also recognizes both enzymes detected only rat HDC when it was absorbed by the peptide. This result indicates that this region is responsible for the immuno-cross-reactivity of anti-rat HDC antibody with guinea-pig DDC.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
