Abstract
THE species specificity of myosins has been examined qualitatively by several workers. It was shown by Klatzo, Horvath and Emmart1 that fluorescently labelled anti-human myosin stained cat, rabbit, mouse and rat muscle. Varga, Kover, Kovacs and Yokay2 also demonstrated the cross-reaction between rabbit and cat myosin as well as between clam and earthworm myosin. The aim of the present investigation was to investigate both qualitatively and quantitatively the cross-reactions between pig, sheep, horse and bovine myosin using anti-bovine myosin serum.
