Immunoblotting demonstration of antibodies to the organic matrix of developing bovine enamel

Scand J Dent Res. 1985 Dec;93(6):481-5. doi: 10.1111/j.1600-0722.1985.tb01344.x.

Abstract

Antiserum was raised against an acetic acid extract of partly mineralized bovine enamel. By use of immunoblotting it was shown that rabbit antibodies react with both high and low molecular weight proteins. Most but not all of the enamel proteins isolated by different extraction solutions were antigenic identical. The blotting time was found to be important when immunoblotting of enamel proteins is carried out.
