Reevaluation of the immunochemical relationships among the individual glutathione S-transferase (GST) isozymes (GSTs 1-1, 1-2, 2-2, 3-3, 3-4, 4-4, and GSTs with isoelectric points of 7.5 and 6.8) of rat liver cytosol was performed utilizing the immunoblot technique. As a result, we found that the respective isozymes of two isozyme classes of rat liver cytosol might possess a common epitope(s) which has been undetected by the Ouchterlony double-diffusion method. The assumption was further supported by the results of the effects of Fab' prepared from some anti-GST antibodies on the enzymatic activity of GSTs.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007120 Immunochemistry Field of chemistry that pertains to immunological phenomena and the study of chemical reactions related to antigen stimulation of tissues. It includes physicochemical interactions between antigens and antibodies.
D007140 Immunoglobulin Fab Fragments Univalent antigen-binding fragments composed of one entire IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAIN and the amino terminal end of one of the IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS from the hinge region, linked to each other by disulfide bonds. Fab contains the IMMUNOGLOBULIN VARIABLE REGIONS, which are part of the antigen-binding site, and the first IMMUNOGLOBULIN CONSTANT REGIONS. This fragment can be obtained by digestion of immunoglobulins with the proteolytic enzyme PAPAIN.
