Abstract
Proteins of the brain and body wall cells of third instar larvae of Drosophila melanogaster
have been examined by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Out of over 600 [ 35 S ]-labelled
peptide spots seen in brain or body wall extracts, 517 were common to both; 61 spots were
unique to brain and 66 unique to muscle. Glycoproteins were identified by soaking the gels in
radioactive iodinated Concanavalin-A. Forty four Con-Α binding glycoproteins were identifiable
in the brain and 41 in the muscle extracts. Out of these, 8 glycoproteins of the brain and 8 of
muscles appear to be tissue-specific.
