This most recent version to the Laboratory thoughts sequence provides present cutting-edge use of artificial peptides in molecular biology and functional protocols on tips to conjugate peptides, immunize animals with peptides and computer screen immune responses to peptides in vitro. It supplies heritage details on antigenic specificity, prediction of antigenic websites in proteins and functions of peptides in immunology and virology, as probes in prognosis and as vaccines. The booklet additionally describes antigenicity of proteins and strategies to localize antigenic websites in addition to equipment for predicting epitoxes, and provides targeted protocols for peptide-carrier conjugation, immunization with peptides, and peptide immunoassays. the amount additionally describes usual use of antipeptide antibodies in molecular and mobile biology in addition to using peptides within the prognosis of viral infections and autoimmune illnesses, and using peptides as capability artificial vaccines. a very good version to a good sequence, to be had in hardbound and paperback.

Example text

The significance of the inhibition data is hard to assess, as no indication was given of total radioactive counts of antigen used in the experiments. If, for instance, only a small percentage of antigen added was precipitated, the inhibition of this precipitation would be difficult to interpret in quantitative terms. , 1982). , 1980). It was found that the synthetic peptides corresponding to residues 22-55 and 72-89 of myoglobin reacted with antibovine myoglobin antibodies and thus also contained epitopes (Leach, 1983).

A positive cross-reaction is taken as evidence that the peptide approximates to an epitope of the protein. , 1983) that immunization with peptides leads to a high frequency of induction of antibodies capable of recognizing the native protein, this is no longer believed to be true. , 1988; Jemmerson, 1987; Kennel, 1982; Soderquist and Walton, 1980; Spangler, 1991). In order to demonstrate that antipeptide antibodies are capable of reacting with a truly native protein, the test should Ch. 1 MOLECULAR DISSECTION OF PROTEIN ANTIGENS AND THE PREDICTIONOF EPITOPES 37 be performed by a liquid-phase immunoassay that does not alter the conformation of the antigen (Spangler, 1991).
