title: Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase from chicken erythrocytes.
abstract: 1. Copper, zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu,Zn SOD) has been purified to homogeneity from chicken erythrocytes by anion-exchange, immobilized metal affinity and size exclusion chromatography. 2. Molecular properties (amino acid composition, molecular mass, subunit composition and spec. act.) of the chicken enzyme are similar to those of a bovine erythrocyte Cu,Zn SOD. 3. The chicken and bovine enzymes are immunologically similar since antisera raised against each enzyme are cross-reactive.
