Titin Proteins and Enzymes

Monoclonal Anti-Titin can be used for study of the elastic filaments within sarcomeric structures. It is also useful as a differentiation marker in the separation of rhabdomyosarcomas from other muscle tumors.By indirect immunofluorescence the antibody displays a typical striated staining pattern on frozen sections of chicken skeletal and cardiac muscle tissues. Stains the region of the A-I junction by indirect immunofluorescence. It shows a decoration line 0.05 mm from the end of the A band in electron micro-graphs.In immunoblotting, using total extracts of chicken breast muscle, the antibody reacts specifically with both bands of the titin double and shows no reaction with nebulin.
