Abstract: It was noted that human and horse sera as well as human heart and skeletal muscle homogenates or extracts distinctly decrease immunoassays of purified myoglobins. The assays of homogenate and extract myoglobins could be many times increased by precipitation certain proteins with concentrated ammonium sulfate or sodium chloride. Also in homogenates and extracts incubated for several days increased assays of myoglobins were noted. The obtained results indicate that both myoglobins occur in complex with other tissue component(s).
