title: Identification of proteins of the kallikrein family by isoelectrofocusing and immunoblotting.
abstract: We have found that kallikrein-like proteins differ in their isoelectric point but share antigenic determinants. For identification of kallikrein-like proteins an initial separation was carried out in flat-bed isoelectrofocusing gels. The kallikrein-like nature was demonstrated by an immunological similarity to kallikrein-like proteins by immunoblotting using antiserum against a kallikrein family member for staining. We used this system to identify different kallikrein-like proteins during purification of both known as well as new enzymes.
