Human pancreas, kidney, and liver alanine aminopeptidases have similar if not identical antigenic determinants even though these three isoenzymes have distinctly different electrophoretic mobilities. Single precipitin lines without spur formation were obtained for all three enzymes with antisera obtained from

A 50.4-fold purification of aminopeptidase is achieved by alcohol precipitation, DEAE-cellulose, CM-cellulose and finally Sephadex G-200 chromatography. On polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the purified enzyme after molecular sieving on Sephadex G-200, only one band was obtained, suggesting that the enzyme

The hydrolysis of DL-alanine-beta-naphthylamide and D-alanine-p-nitroanilide for identification of Listeria spp. has been studied with 227 cultures. All species of Listeria, except L. monocytogenes, hydrolyzed these substrates. The reactions were detected by simple chromogenic reactions and could substitute for the
