title: Investigation of the organ immunospecificity of human elastin by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
abstract: The aim of the study was to investigate the organ immunospecificity of human elastin using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Soluble alpha-elastin has been isolated from human aorta and lung. Antibodies against human lung alpha-elastin have been raised in young male sheep. No evidence for the existence of an organ immunospecificity of human elastin has been found.
