Then, the contents of NF triplet proteins (NF-H, NF-M, NF-L) and two calpain isoforms (m-calpain and mu-calpain) in both fractions were determined by immunoblotting.

This observation supports the utility of cross-linking of peripheral proteins as a specific dosimeter of internal exposure for CS2 and provides a mechanistic explanation to account for the high-molecular-weight neurofilament protein species isolated from rats exposed to CS2 or N, N-diethyldithiocarbamate.

Then, the contents of six cytoskeletal protein (NF-L, NF-M, NF-H, alpha-tubulin, beta-tubulin, and beta-actin) in both fractions were determined by immunoblotting.

The present data may indicate that the high binding of CS2 to the neurofilament protein contributes to the increase in neurofilaments in chronic CS2 intoxication.

The observation of dose-dependent covalent cross-linking in neurofilament proteins prior to the onset of lesions is consistent with this process contributing to the development of the neurofilamentous axonal swellings characteristic of carbon disulfide neurotoxicity.
