title: The detection and partial characterization of horse muscle soluble proteins by imnmnoelectrophoresis in agarose gels.
abstract: Immunoele ctrophoresis in agarose gels has been used to detect and partially characterize specific protein precipitin hands of horse muscle soluble proteins (HSP), free of cross reactions with the muscle soluble proteins of cow (CSP) and pig (PSP). Of seven precpptin bands obtained by reacting HSP against an anti-HSP antiserum produced by a rabbit, only one was observed to appear by reacting PSP against the same anti-HSP antiserum. This band, and two more, were detected when CSP were analyzed against an anti-HSP antiserum. The other four bands were specific f or the horse muscle soluble proteins. This technique may have the potential to detect the presence of horse meat in unheated ground meat products.
