Synthetic peptides as antigens for antibody production.

چکیده
The use of synthetic peptide immunogens as a means to generate specific immunological reagents for a variety of purposes has increased markedly in recent years. In this chapter, we outline some of the salient factors to be considered when designing peptide immunogens and describe basic methodologies for the conjugation of short synthetic peptides to immunogenic carrier proteins.

Peptide based polyclonal antibody production against bovine rotavirus non structure protein4 (NSP4)
The rotavirus nonstructural protein 4 (NSP4), is a multi functional protein that play key role in both viral morphogenesis and cytopathic effect associated with cell death. However, the complete biological effect of NSP4 remains to be clarified. Since to obtain further knowledge about this protein there is a need for recognizing antibody and there is no commercial antibody against this protein,...

Sjogren's syndrome type B (SSB)/La antibody is an autoantibody generally observed in connective tissue diseases whereas double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (dsDNA) antibodies are the most characteristic autoantibodies found in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. The relationship of these autoantibodies remains unclear. The aim of the study was to determine the profile of antibody pro...

ABSTRACT Background and Objectives: Cryptosporidium parvum is a coccidian protozoan that causes diarrhea in immunocompromised humans and newborn animals. The severity of the disease depends on the immunological status of the affected. Cryptosporiosis can have lethal effects on immunocompromised individuals such as AIDS patients. About 10% of...

Further, it should be pointed out that an alternative approach to synthetic peptides as antigens for directed antibody production is the use of bacterially produced subunit fragments, and indeed this strategy has been adopted for the GAHA, receptor [13]. In general these antigens, although probably less exp...
متن کاملProduction of heterologous antibodies specific for murine B-cell leukemia (BCL1) immunoglobulin by immunization with synthetic peptides homologous to heavy chain hypervariable regions.
Three peptides homologous to each heavy chain hypervariable region expressed by murine B-cell leukemia, BCL1, were synthesized in vitro by solid phase peptide synthesis. All three synthetic peptides elicited responses in rabbits which were immunized with synthetic peptide or synthetic peptide conjugated to the carrier keyhole limpet hemocyanin. Six individual rabbits were immunized, five of whi...
