RESUMO

Chicken embryo tissues were examined for the expression of pp60c-src, the normal cellular homolog of the transforming protein of Rous sarcoma virus. Three assays, including a solid-phase radioimmunoassay, a competitive radioimmunoprecipitation assay, and an immune complex protein kinase assay, were employed. Elevated levels of pp60c-src were detected in lysates from several neural tissues, including brain, retina, and spinal ganglia. Other tissues contained 8- to 10-fold-lower levels of pp60c-src, levels comparable to those found in chicken embryo fibroblasts. Expression of pp60c-src in brain tissues was also shown to vary with the developmental stage of the embryo.
