Immunoreactivities of α-amylase of humans and rats

Abstract The immunoreactivities of amylase from human saliva and pancreatic juice and rat parotid and pancreas were investigated. Antisera were prepared in rabbits against each of the human and rat amylase. Human salivary and pancreatic amylases reacted similarly with the antibodies to both human salivary and pancreatic amylases. Rat parotid and pancreatic amylases reacted differently with the antibodies to both rat parotid and pancreatic amylases.
