Application

A heterobifunctional cross-linking reagent incorporating an extended spacer with amine and sulfhydryl reactivity. Typically, coupled initially to molecules containing primary amines by amide bonds buffered at pH 7.5 (6.5-8.5) The second coupling is specific for molecules containing free sulfhydryl by thioether linkage buffered at pH 6.8 (6.5-7.0). Useful for preparation of enzyme immunoconjugates and hapten carrier molecule conjugates. Contains 9 atom linker. An extended aliphatic spacer stabilizes the maleimide prior to coupling compared to aromatic spacers.

We have previously reported that ovalbumin (OVA) coupled with liposome via glutaraldehyde (GA) induced OVA-specific- and IgE-selective unresponsiveness in mice. In this study, OVA-liposome conjugates were made using four different coupling protocols: via GA, N-(6-maleimidocaproyloxy) succinimide (EMCS), disuccinimidyl suberate (DSS)

Synthetic peptides, derived from the amino acid sequence of a Leishmania donovani clone, were used to develop an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detecting antibodies against L. donovani. For this purpose, five peptides were conjugated to a protein carrier, human

Recently, the multipin approach for simultaneous multiple peptide synthesis was applied to the analysis of T cell determinants by using a novel cleavage method (Maeji et al., 1990). A diketopiperazine forming linker allowed cleavage of peptides into aqueous buffer which

Nine different maleimide compounds were evaluated for the conjugation of Fab' to horseradish peroxidase through thiol groups in the hinge. The compounds evaluated were succinimidyl maleimidoacetate (I), succinimidyl 4-maleimidobutyrate (II), succinimidyl 6-maleimidohexanoate (III), succinimidyl 4-(N-maleimidomethyl)cyclohexane-1-carboxylate (IV), succinimidyl m-maleimidobenzoate (V), succinimidyl

Posttranslational modifications of the endothelin receptors A and B from human lung fibroblasts were investigated before and after stimulation of the cells with (dA)(30)-5'-S-EMC-endothelin-1. The patterns of phosphorylation and palmitoylation of both receptors were much more complicated than expected. In
