... antibody revealed the complexity of this kind of matrix, with several closely separated bands [50]. The EDTA-SM showed a 14-kDa band, probably the N14 protein found by Kono et al. [14], and another ... Proline, hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine were examined at 254 nm by reverse-phaseHPLC of their phenylisothiocarbamate derivatives [26], asreported previously [20]. The serine, threonine and tyrosinecontents ... composition was very similar to the WSM, and consequently the EDTA-IM. Hydroxyproline, hydroxy-lysine and phosphoserine were not detected in WSM, WIM,EDTA-SM and EDTA-IM. The comparison of the amino...
