Soluble mycelial proteins from Ophiostoma ulmi (Buism.) Nannf., the causal agent of Dutch elm disease, were separated by analytical electrofocusing and two-dimensional electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels. Results showed the aggressive and nonaggressive strains of this pathogen each had about 60 Coomassie blue stained bands having isoelectric points from 3 to 7. Both strains of this fungus had their own characteristic electrofocusing patterns. Nonaggressive isolate S116, for example, lacked two protein bands, one near the anode and one near the cathode, but it had five additional protein bands distributed from pH 4 to 6. Two-dimensional electrophoresis of total soluble proteins depicted that there were 36 proteins found to be specific for the nonaggressive isolate S116 and 12 proteins for the aggressive isolate RR2.

Abstract Glycosaminoglycans in urine from patients representing the major different mucopolysaccharidoses were separated and measured by use of a procedure that requires only 2 mL of urine. The compounds were resolved by two-dimensional electrophoresis on cellulose acetate plates and made visible by staining with Alcian Blue. They were identified by co-migration with standard glycosaminoglycans, by digestion with specific glycosidases, and by specific degradation with HNO2. They were quantitated by comparing the absorbance of eluates of the stained spots to appropriate standard curves for each glycosaminoglycan. This study revealed additional findings. About half of the patients excreted small amounts of heparin. Further, the keratan sulfate in samples from Morquio's disease patients migrated differently from authentic keratan sulfate unless digested with chondroitinase ABC. Our results for these diseases are in harmony with earlier reports.
