Antibodies against the loosely bound subnuclear fraction (0.35 M NaCl-extractable subnuclear fraction) of rat brain were raised in rabbits, and the distribution of the main antigenic determinants was followed among subcellular fractions of nervous tissue and among homologous nuclear preparations from different tissues. By immunofluorescence a localization restricted to the nucleus was observed, and by microcomplement fixation the antigens appeared to specifically enrich the fraction under examination, being poorly detectable in cytosol, nuclear sap, or deoxyribonucleoproteins of rat brain. No significant cross-reaction was observed by complement fixation with homologous preparations from muscle, liver, kidney, spleen, lung, or thymus of rat, whereas the 0.35 M NaCl-extracted subnuclear fraction from rat testis exhibited an immunoreactivity, although lower than that for brain proteins. After trypsin or ribonuclease treatment, the main antigenic determinants appeared to be protein in nature. The subnuclear fraction under examination, which is believed to be relevant to gene regulation, appears to contain protein antigens mainly concentrated in the nervous system.
