چکیده

A synthetic conjugate, prepared by covalent binding of a lysozyme fragment (sequence 64-83, denoted "loop" peptide) to a synthetic branched polypeptide, elicited in rabbits the formation of antibodies with specificity directed against a unique region in native lysozyme. These anti-"loop" antibodies were isolated immunospecifically on a lysozyme-cellulose immunoadsorbent. Antibodies with a similar specificity were isolated from antilysozyme sera with an immunoadsorbent prepared from the same "loop" peptide. The capacity of the anti-"loop" antibodies to distinguish between the "loop" peptide, containing a disulfide bridge, and the open-chain peptide derived from it suggests that they are directed against a conformation-dependent determinant.

Development of a Lateral Flow Immunoassay Using Recombinant Dense Granular Antigen (GRA) 7 to Detect Anti-Toxoplasma gondii IgG Antibodies

Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular protozoan parasite that causes toxoplasmosis and is of medical importance in pregnant women and immunosuppressed patients. In recent years, many methods have been developed for the detection of infection caused by this parasite; however, most of the developed methods are not adequately sensitive. The dense granular antigen (GRA) ...

The effect of whey protein-based edible coating containing natamycin and lysozyme-xanthan gum conjugate on the shelf life of ultrafiltrated white cheese

The effect of whey protein concentrate based edible coating incorporating different concentrations of natamycin and lysozyme-xanthan gum conjugate on ultrafiltrated white cheese shelf life was investigated. Escherichia coli O157: H7 (as an indicator for gram negative bacteria), Staphylococcus aureus (as an indicator of gram-positive bacteria), and Penicillium chrysogenum (as a mold) were inocul...

Isolation of nitrotyrosine-containing peptides by using an insoluble-antibody column.

Antibodies to nitrotyrosine were prepared in goats or rabbits by injecting a nitrotyrosine-protein conjugate. The antibodies were purified by using a protein that had been nitrated with tetranitromethane. These antibodies were used to isolate nitrotyrosine-containing peptides from nitrated lysozyme. The nitrotyrosine-containing peptides were thus purified (55% yield) in one step and the positio...

Isolation of anti-glutathione antibodies from a phage display library.

We have isolated anti-glutathione antibodies from a human synthetic phage antibody scFv library (Nissim,A., Hoogenboom,H.R., Tomlinson,I.M., Flynn,G., Midgley,C., Lane,D. and Winter,G., 1994, EMBO J., 13, 692-698). Glutathione (GSH) conjugates with carrier proteins, such as bovine serum albumin (BSA), keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) and human lysozyme (LZM), were used as antigens. After four cy...

A conjugated synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminal region of Clostridium perfringens type A enterotoxin elicits an enterotoxin-neutralizing antibody response in mice.

A synthetic peptide homolog corresponding to the C-terminal 30 amino acids of Clostridium perfringens type A enterotoxin (CPE) was conjugated to a thyroglobulin carrier and used to immunize mice. Conjugate-immunized mice produced antibodies which neutralized native CPE cytotoxicity, at least in part, by blocking enterotoxin binding. This peptide may be useful for the development of a vaccine to...
