Abstract excerpt
Immunoassays such as rocket immunoelectrophoresis, western dot blot hybridization, and competitive ELISA analysis were used to estimate and compare homology among fishes (several species), crab, toad, chicken and rodent metallothioneins. The relative abundance of tissue-specific metallothionein in catfish was highest in liver followed by kidney and pancreas like mammalian systems. Immunologically, considerable...
