Monospecific antisera to purified hepatic fatty acid-binding protein (hFABP) and gut (gFABP) have been used localize these two proteins in the small intestine of fed rats at light microscopic level. Pieces duodenum, jejunum, ileum were removed from 4-, 10-, 20-, 22-, 60-day-old Sprague-Dawley rats. Both cryostat paraffin sections studied for presence hFABP or gFABP by avidin-biotin immunoperoxidase method. Slides graded blind intensity staining. Despite structural immunological differences...
