Immunological properties of N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase of normal human liver and of GM2-gangliosidosis liver.


ABSTRACT: Antisera were raised to a partially purified preparation of human liver hexosaminidase and to highly purified preparations of hexosaminidase isoenzymes A and B. All the antisera precipitated the enzyme in an enzymically active form, which could be located on immunodiffusion and immunoelectrophoretic gels by using a histochemical substrate. The antisera to the purified isoenzymes were shown to react with hexosaminidase from human liver, kidney, brain and spleen, but did not cross-react with human liver beta-glucosidase, beta-galactosidase, alpha-mannosidase, beta-xylosidase, arylsulphatase or acid phosphatase. Hexosaminidases A and B were immunologically identical. The immunological properties of the hexosaminidases from livers of patients with three types of GM(2)-gangliosidoses were closely similar. No evidence could be found for cross-reacting material in enzyme-deficient states.
