PCT No. PCT/GB92/01721 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 17, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 17, 1994 PCT Filed Sep. 18, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO93/06131 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 1, 1993Antigens present in the plasma membrane of mature porcine white adipocytes, which are not present in porcine liver, kidney, spleen, brain, cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle or lung or in porcine erythrocytes, which react with antisera raised against said adipocytes and which on SDS-PAGE give rise to protein bands of relative molecular mass (r.m.m.) about 37, 50, 51 and 121 KiloDaltons, respectively and antibodies thereto are useful for the reduction of fat in pigs.
