Abstract

Rabbit antibodies were produced against purified acetylcholine receptor and each of the four acetylcholine receptor subunits from Torpedo californica. Using the technique of double diffusion in agar, cross reactivities were observed between these antibodies and purified acetylcholine receptor and receptor subunits from Torpedo marmorata, Torpedo nobiliana, and Narcine brasiliensis, as well as from Torpedo californica. The specificity of each of the four anti-subunit antibodies and the conservation of subunit antigenic determinants in the four electric rays studied are demonstrated.
