Immunizations of high affinity anti-fluorescein monoclonal antibody 4-4-20 affinity labeled with fluorescein 5-isothiocyanate into a rabbit elicited antibodies specific for the liganded conformation of 4-4-20 (termed "anti-metatype" antibodies). Reaction of liganded 4-4-20 with anti-metatype antibodies caused significant delay (up to

Relative differences in the active site environment of a monoclonal antibody when covalently bound to two isomeric haptens were studied using fluorescence quenching and lifetime measurements. Murine monoclonal antibody 4-4-20, a well-characterized high affinity antifluorescein antibody, served as the model
