title: [Detection of the neurospecific protein Sy-1 in the human brain and its regional localization in nerve tissue].
abstract: Using affinity chromatography, a neurospecific protein was isolated from human and rat brain. Both proteins were shown to possess identical physico-chemical properties. However, antisera raised against these proteins exhibited no cross reactions with the corresponding proteins, thus suggesting their species specificity. Immunochemical analysis revealed that the neurospecific protein from rat brain is identical to protein Sy-1 specific for rat brain. Since the human brain protein is analogous to its rat brain counterpart, it may also be considered as protein Sy-1. The uneven distribution of the protein in various structures of human brain was demonstrated by the immunoenzymatic method. Protein Sy-1 is found at relatively low concentrations in the cortex, caudate nucleus and claustrum (2.5-5 micrograms/mg of water-soluble protein), but is predominant in the brain stem (20 micrograms/mg).
