Radioiodination of the gelatin-purified mouse and human fibronectins gave labeled proteins from which 60-70% of the radioactivity could be bound to anti-fibronectin in antibody excess. Fibronectin preparations isolated using other methods showed lower immunoreactivity after labeling. A major part of the labeled fibronectin retained its affinity for collagen. This allowed removal of weakly immunoreactive material by fractionation of the iodinated protein on gelatin-Sepharose. The bound and eluted fraction of the labeled protein showed more than 90% binding to antibody and to collagen. The effect of collagen, a component likely to be present in samples containing fibronectin, on fibronectin radioimmunoassay [RIA] and the effect of anti-fibronectin on the fibronectin-collagen interaction were studied. Quantitation of fibronectin by RIA was found to be unaffected by the presence of collagen in the sample, suggesting that the interaction of fibronectin with antibody was not affected by the presence of collagen. The binding of labeled fibronectin to collagen was inhibited when the labeled protein was mixed with purified antibodies to fibronectin. Fibronectin previously bound to a gelatin column was released when antibodies were passed through the column. The avidity of the antibody-fibronectin interaction apparently is higher than that between fibronectin and collagen.
