title: Homogeneity of lung tubulin isoforms during lung maturation.
abstract: The rat and rabbit lung isoform pattern before (fetal) and after (adult) lung maturation has been analyzed by isoelectric focusing. This pattern has been compared to that of brain tubulin at the same developmental stages. No changes in the pattern of fetal and adult lung tubulin were found. However an increase in brain tubulin heterogeneity was detected from fetal to adult stage.
