Abstract
$M_4$-LDH isozyme was partially purified from the skeletal muscle of Agkistrodon blomhoffii brevicaudus. The protein was injected into rabbits and the resulting antiserum was tested for reactivity with crude preparations of LDH isozymes of fifteen vertebrate species. Antisera against $M_4$-LDH isozyme of A. blomhoffii brevicaudus reacted very strongly with the LDH isozymes, except the $H_4$-LDH isozyme, of A. saxatilis and A. caliginosus but weakly with those of Rhabdophis tigrinus at fixed conditions. A. caliginosus showed a difference in the immunodiffusion test and was considered to be a species less related to others of genus Agkisrodon. The suggestion that the H and M lactate dehydrogenase subunits are immunclogically distinct has been reaffirmed in the present study.
살모사 근육조직의 $M_4$형 젖산 수소이탈효소에 대한 항혈청을 토끼에서 얻어서 척추동물 15종의 젖산 수소이탈효소와 항원-항체 반응결과를 초산셀룰로즈 전기영동법에 의하여 얻었으며, 아울러 뱀목 4종에 대한 면역확산 실험도 실시하였다. 살모사, 쇠살모사, 까치살모사 및 유혈목은 면역학적으로 동일한 젖산 수소이탈효소를 가지고 있으며 쇠살모사는 살모사속의 다른 종과는 유연관계가 먼것 같았으며 젖산 수소이탈효소 단위체의 면역학적 상이성이 파충류에서도 재확인되었다.
