[Analysis of malate dehydrogenase isozymes in Taihe negro fowl by thin-layer isoelectric focusing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis].

The isozyme patterns of malate dehydrogenase (MDH) from six tissues (liver, kidney, eye, muscle, brain and heart) of the Taihe negro fowl (Gallus gallus domesticus Brission) were analysed by thin-layer isoelectric focusing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. It was found that there were twelve MDH isozyme bands in the tissues of the fowl, and these isozymes displayed a tissue-specific distribution.
