RNAases (ribonucleases), purified from four human tissues, as well as bovine pancreatic RNAase (RNAase A), were studied by immunodiffusion methods and by two different primary binding tests. The enzymes fell into two groups immunologically, those purified from plasma and pancreas in one and those from spleen and liver in the other. No antigenic cross-reaction between the two groups was detected by any of the immunoassays used. There was a slight antigenic cross-reaction between the human and bovine pancreatic RNAases. The liver and spleen RNAases were immunologically identical by all criteria used, whereas a small but consistent antigenic difference between the human plasma and human pancreas enzymes was detected. The significance of this difference between the human plasma and pancreas RNAases is discussed in relation to similarities and differences in their properties.

Human plasma fibronectin has been purified by a non-denaturing affinity chromatography procedure [Vuento & Vaheri, (1979) Biochem.J. 183, 331–337], and antisera have been raised by immunizing rabbits with the native protein. The antisera reacted strongly with native fibronectin, but only weakly with reduced and alkylated fibronectin or with heat-denaturated fibronectin. Denaturation also affected the haemagglutinating and gelatin-binding activities of fibronectin and increased its susceptibility to proteolytic degradation. The antisera reacted with fragments of fibronectin obtained by proteolysis with plasmin. Large fragments (mol.wt. 180000–200000), lacking the region harbouring the interchain disulphide bridges but containing the sites responsible for gelatin-binding and haemagglutinating activity, showed as intense a reaction with the antisera as intact fibronectin. Smaller peptides showed a weaker reaction. All fragments tested showed sensitivity to denaturation in their reaction with the antisera. The results were interpreted as showing that: (1) native fibronectin has an ordered conformation that is easily perturbed by denaturation; (2) most of the antigenic determinants of the protein are dependent on conformation; (3) the region of the fibronectin molecule containing the interchain disulphide bridges has only few antigenic determinants; and (4) covalent interaction of the two subunits does not contribute to the antigenic structure recognized by rabbit antisera. The observed correlation between the antigenic activity and a structural and functional intactness of fibronectin suggests that the antibodies to native fibronectin could be used as a conformational probe in studies on this protein.
