The distribution of cytochromes P-450 that catalyze aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase and 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase were studied with monoclonal antibody (MAb) 1-7-1 which completely inhibits these activities of a purified 3-methylcholanthrene-induced rat liver cytochrome P-450. The degree of inhibition by MAb 1-7-1 quantitatively assesses the contribution of different cytochromes P-450 in the liver, lung, and kidney microsomes from untreated, 3-methylcholanthrene- and phenobarbital (PB)-treated rats, mice, guinea pigs, and hamsters. Enzyme sensitivity to MAb 1-7-1 inhibition defines two types of cytochrome P-450 contributing to aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase and 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase. The MAb 1-7-1 sensitive cytochrome P-450 is a major contributor to aryl hydrocarbonhydroxylase in rat liver, lung, and kidney of 3-methylcholanthrene-treated rats, C57BL/6 mice, guinea pigs, and hamsters. 7-Ethoxycoumarin 0-deethylase is also a function of both the MAb 1-7-1-sensitive and insensitive classes of cytochromeP-450. The ratio of the classes contributing to aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase and 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase differs in the various tissues and species and after inducer treatment. All of the 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase activity in guinea pigs and hamsters is a function of cytochromes P-450 different than the MAb 1-7-1-sensitive cytochrome P-450 responsible for aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase activity. Thus, the MAb 1-7-1 antigenically defines the type of cytochromes P-450 contributing to each reaction.
