title: Characterization of a polyclonal antiserum raised against mediatophore, a protein that translocates acetylcholine.
abstract: A protein (the mediatophore) purified from Torpedo electric organ nerve terminals was identified by its ability to translocate acetylcholine upon calcium action. The recent large scale production of this protein led us to prepare a polyclonal antibody that was used to study the localization of the protein.
