The fiber type composition of two fast muscles of the chicken, namely, adductor superficialis (AS) and pectoralis major (PM) was examined by the histochemical myosin ATPase staining and immunochemical techniques using monoclonal antibodies (McAbs). Two new McAbs produced against the myosin of the anterior latissimus dorsi (ALD) muscle of the chicken and named ALD-122 and ALD-83 were characterized to be specific for myosin heavy chain (MHC) and for myosin light chain-1 respectively. They were used in conjunction with previously reported McAbs specific for slow MHC (ALD-47), fast MHC (MF-14) and fast light chain-2 (MF-5). By the histochemical ATPase test most muscle fibers of AS and PM muscles reacted as IIA and IIB respectively. By immunofluorescent staining with the anti-MHC McAbs, ALD-122, and MF-14, the fibers of AS, muscle showed remarkable heterogeneity whereas PM muscle fibers reacted, uniformly. Differences in the myosin light chain composition of AS and PM muscles were also found by SDS-gel electrophoresis and immunoblot analysis with the anti-light chain McAb, ALD-83. The study clearly indicated that the histochemically homogenous (type IIA) AS muscle is composed of several subpopulations of fibers which differ in their myosin composition and that this heterogeneity of the muscle is not simply due to presence of variable amounts of slow myosin in its fibers.
