title: Structural and immunological relationship between laminin and the cysteine proteinase inhibitor stefin.
abstract: A sequence analogy was found between the C-terminal region of the B1 chain of laminin (residues 1538-1639) and cysteine proteinase inhibitors, in particular the stefin group. The sequence analogous with cysteine proteinase inhibitors occurs in fragment E8 obtained by elastase digestion of laminin. Antibodies raised against E 8 reacted with stefin but not with kininogen or cystatin.
