title: Immunological properties of rat arginases.
abstract: Five immunologically different forms of arginase were evidenced in rat tissues by the double diffusion test and immunoelectrophoresis. New symbols for these arginases are proposed (beginning with the most anionic forms): A1 (kidney), A2 (liver), A3 (salivary glands), A4 (kidney) and A5 (liver). Arginases A1 from kidney and A5 from liver are paternal forms built of one-type subunits. Subunits of form A1 exhibit a non-identity cross-reaction with subunits of form A5. Arginases A2, A3 and A4 are hybrids composed of both kinds of subunits.
