Carbonic anhydrase (CA III) and myoglobin contents from isolated human muscle fibers were quantified using a sensitive time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay. Human psoas muscle specimens were freeze-dried, and single fibers were dissected out and classified into type I, IIA and IIB by myosin ATPase staining. Fiber typing was further confirmed by SDS-PAGE. CA III and myoglobin were found in all fiber types. Type I fibers contained higher concentrations of CA III and myoglobin than type IIA and IIB fibers. The relative concentrations of CA III in type IIA and IIB fibers were respectively 24% and 10% of that in type I fibers. The relative concentrations of myoglobin in type IIA and IIB fibers were 60% and 28% of that in type I fibers. Anti-CA III immunoblotting results from fiber-specific pooled samples agreed well with quantitative measurements. The results indicate that CA III is a more specific marker than myoglobin for type I fibers.

Using the indirect immunoperoxidase method, we studied the localization of carbonic anhydrase-III (CA-III) in frozen sections of biopsies of human skeletal muscle which had no definite pathology. CA-III was found to be localized in Type-I muscle fibers when compared with serial sections stained with myosin ATPase and other reactions. Our finding was in accordance with the biochemical data so far reported. It was though that CA-III could be used as a marker for abnormal Type-I muscle fibers in several neuromuscular diseases.
