Immunological studies of human monoamine oxidases.
Antisera have been raised against monoamine oxidase preparations from human placenta and platelets. These antisera have been employed to characterize membrane-bound enzyme from a variety of human sources including liver, heart, and brain. The comparisons were based on a displacement radioimmunoassay system with soluble placental monoamine oxidase, previously labelled specifically with [3H]pargyline, as antigen. All forms of enzyme investigated demonstrated immunological cross reaction; however, the placental enzyme appeared to possess determinants not exhibited by the enzyme from the platelets or other tissues examined.
