IMMUNOHISTOCHEMICAL LOCALIZATION OF CATALASE IN MAMMALIAN TISSUES

SHIGERU MORIKAWA 1 and TAKAYUKI HARADA 1

1 Department of Pathology, Chest Disease Research Institute, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan

The distribution of catalase was investigated in bovine tissues using fluorescent antibody techniques. The immunochemical properties of liver catalase were also examined. Two distinct components of liver catalase in immune system were found. Both of them possessed common antigenicity with erythrocyte catalase. No cross-reactivity was observed by immunodiffusion between catalase and the other hemoproteins such as lactoperoxidase, cytochrome c and hemoglobins. Bovine liver, pancreas, kidney, spleen and peripheral blood were examined. Catalase was located mainly in the cytoplasm of hepatic cells, acinar cells of the pancreas, epithelia of proximal tubuli, splenic cells scattered in the red pulp and some leukocytes. It was not found in any nucleus. Intracorpuscular catalase could be revealed in the erythrocytes treated with surface-active agents but not in frozen sections.
