Abstract
We have determined the distribution of alpha and beta keratins in avian scutate scales using SDS-PAGE and indirect immunofluorescence with non-cross-reacting rabbit antisera prepared to both alpha and beta keratins. Contrary to previous studies, we find that alpha keratin is definitely present in the epidermis of the outer scale surface as well as that of the inner surface and hinge region of the scale. In fact, all six alpha keratin...
