Abstract

The chemically synthesized proalbumin hexapeptide was coupled to rabbit albumin with carbodiimide. Subsequently rabbits were immunized by subcutaneous injection of the conjugate. After 5 weeks the rabbits had developed antibodies against the hexapeptide, which could be detected by immunodiffusion. A sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was developed. Using the hexapeptide and other very similar peptides as antigens, a high specificity of the antibodies against the proalbumin hexapeptide was found.
