title: Structural comparison of monoclonal antibody immunopurified pulmonary and hepatic cytochrome P-450 from 3-methylcholanthrene-treated rats.
abstract: A pulmonary cytochrome P-450 was purified from lung microsomes of 3-methylcholanthrene (MC)-treated rats by immunoaffinity chromatography using a monoclonal antibody to MC-induced rat liver cytochrome P-450. The isolated pulmonary cytochrome P-450 was MC-inducible and had an apparent molecular weight of 57 kD on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The molecular weight, as well as the NH2-terminal sequence of the first nine amino acids of the pulmonary cytochrome P-450, was identical to that of an epitopically related MC-induced rat liver cytochrome P-450. In addition, partial proteolysis of both cytochromes P-450 yielded indistinguishable peptide patterns on SDS-Page. Treatment of rats with MC, therefore, induces a pulmonary cytochrome P-450 which is structurally identical to the MC-induced hepatic enzyme by several criteria.
