title: Homology among beta-crystallins: monoclonal antibodies to beta-heavy crystallin.
abstract: The mouse monoclonal antibodies, prepared with rat beta H-crystallin as parent antigen, show cross-reactivity to specific subunits in beta H-, beta L1-, and beta L2-crystallin but no reactivity to either alpha- or gamma-crystallins. Antigenic homology among the beta-crystallin subunits was demonstrated by comparison of the topographic distributions of peptides on two-dimensional electrophoretograms subjected to either staining or an ELISA of the immunoblots.
