A comparative immunological investigation of the alkane hydroxylating cytochrome P-450 from the yeast Candida maltosa

Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 1985 May 16;128(3):1261-7. doi: 10.1016/0006-291x(85)91076-9.

Abstract

The immunological relations of the cytochrome P-450 from the n-alkane utilizing yeast Candida maltosa to cytochrome P-450 forms of other organisms - yeasts, bacteria and mammalia - were investigated using a solid-phase double-antibody radioimmunoassay. Only the microsomal fraction of other n-alkane utilizing yeasts shows a distinct cross-reaction with an antiserum against cytochrome P-450 from Candida maltosa. Neither the tested bacterial nor the mammalian cytochromes P-450 cross-react with the antiserum.
