Myosin heavy chain composition of a large number (288) of single fibres from slow (soleus), and fast (superficial part of tibialis anterior, and plantaris) muscles of adult (3-5-month-old) Wistar rats was determined. A combination of SDS--PAGE and monoclonal antibodies against myosin heavy chains al
