Comparison of soluble proteins of Ascocalyx abietis and Gremmeniella abietina by serology and electrophoresis

Abstract

Soluble proteins of Gremmeniella abietina were compared with those of Ascocalyx abietis by immunodiffusion against rabbit antisera and by acrylamide gel electrophoresis. Three of the homologous reactions of G. abietina and the antisera were confluent with the heterologous precipitation lines of A. abietis against the same antisera. Acrylamide gel patterns of the separated proteins of two genera differed by at least one band.
