title: Immunological characterization of bovine lysyl oxidase.
abstract: Antibodies to homogeneously purified bovine aortic lysyl oxidase were prepared in chickens. The chicken anti-lysyl oxidase antiserum effectively inhibited bovine aortic lysyl oxidase activity. Non-immune antiserum from chickens, goats and humans was found to enhance bovine aortic lysyl oxidase activity, while non-immune rabbit serum inhibited enzyme activity. A competitive ELISA was developed to monitor immunoreactive lysyl oxidase during purification. Chromatography of bovine lysyl oxidase on Sephacryl S-200, the final step in purification, revealed two peaks of immunoreactive lysyl oxidase. The large molecular weight peak appears to contain inactive multimeric forms of the enzyme.
