abstractText | A histone H2A variant, protein 'A', has been isolated and purified from the mouse testis. Amino acid composition analysis and electrophoretic properties indicate it to be apparently similar to H2A X X variant present in the mouse L1210 cells. Specific antibodies against protein 'A' have been generated in rabbits and used to study tissue and species distribution in mammals. Protein transfer experiments indicate the presence of antigenically similar proteins in somatic tissues of the mouse. Immunologically similar proteins were also detected in other mammalian testes. The data further indicate that protein A is antigenically distinct from the other members of the H2A family, H2A X 1, H2A X 2 and H2A X Z. |
