Abstract
Rabbit antisera to purified rat parotid α amylase were prepared. The relationships between rat parotid gland, pancreatic, serum and liver amylase were investigated by using the antisera in immunodiffusion, immunoelectrophoresis and immunoinhibition experiments. Serum and liver amylase were identical, and very similar to parotid gland amylase; pancreatic amylase was, however, quite distinct, and showed only some of the determinants present on parotid gland amylase. The data strengthen the suggestion that the liver is the main source of serum amylase.
