title: Practical utility of an antibody specific to a synthetic peptide corresponding to the N-terminal amino acid sequence of human urine DNAse I for genetic analysis of human DNase I isozymes.
abstract: An antibody specific to a synthetic peptide corresponding to the N-terminal 27 amino acid residues of human urine DNase I (anti-DNase I peptide) was obtained. The antibody did not inhibit the activity of the enzyme, but reacted well with the enzyme upon immunoblotting following electrophoresis. The urine DNase I isozyme patterns detected using this antibody were almost identical to those produced with an antibody specific to purified DNase I. Therefore, the anti-DNase I peptide antibody should prove to be valuable for genetic analysis of human DNase I isozymes.
