Proteins were covalently attached to Sepharose by the CNBr method. Their distribution across the carrier beads was studied at the electron microscopic level. The approach has been to ferritinstain and to section the gel beads. Ferritin was either coupled directly to the polysaccharide backbone of the carrier or conjugated with pure rabbit anti-aminopeptidase in order to visualize covalently bound leucine aminopeptidase by the immunferritin technique. The results corroborate earlier fluorescence microscopic findings of a uniform protein distribution, provided that a nuinber of conditions are fulfilled.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
