Recent investigations of the distribution of myosin and actin in the skeletal muscle fiber have relied largely on extraction techniques for the differential removal of specific proteins. This work has been reviewed by Hanson and Huxley (1). Because such extraction techniques may remove much soluble material in addition to myosin or actin, conclusions based on density changes within fibers after extractions have seemed somewhat questionable (2). We have, therefore, attempted a more positive localization of myosin in glycerol fibers by the use of the fluorescent antibody method (3, 4).
