title: Effects of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase-specific antibodies of enzymatic activity and monovalent cation transport.
abstract: Antibodies have been obtained that specifically interact with the transport enzyme (Na+ + K+)-activated ATPase. The antigen used was purified (Na+ + Ka+)-ATPase from canine renal medulla. Purified gamma globulin from immunized animals, but not from control animals or preimmune serum, inhibited (Na+ + Ka+)-ATPase from canine renal medullar with reduction of activity to 33 +/- 4 (SD)% in concentration-dependent manner. Maximum inhibition occurred in less than 5 minutes at 37 degrees C. The Mg++ -dependent, nonouabain inhibited component of activity (Mg++ -ATPase) was unaffected. Fab fragments obtained by papain cleavage of the gamma globulin fraction had similar inhibitory activity and specificity. These antibodies also produced varying degrees of concentration-related inhibition of canine myocardial, calf brain, and human red cell ghost (Na++ + Ka+)-ATPase, but not Mg++-ATPase activity.
