Abstract
Rabbit and mouse anti-Torpedo acetylcholine receptor antibodies cross-reacted partially with the highly phosphorylated protein, phosvitin. We have selected an anti-Torpedo acetylcholine receptor monoclonal antibody which binds specifically to phosvitin; this binding is inhibited by acetylcholine receptor. These findings suggest that a phosphorylated amino acid residue may be a part of the determinant on the acetylcholine receptor recognized by this monoclonal antibody.
