摘要:
Catalytic antibody components, methods for producing catalytic antibody components, methods for using catalytic antibody components, in particular, single chain and smaller components are disclosed. Catalytic antibody components able to promote the cleavage or formation of an amide, peptide, ester or glycosidic bond, and which are prepared from monoclonal catalytic antibodies, catalytic autoantibodies or by site-directed mutagenesis are disclosed. Methods of using catalytic antibody components alone or in combination with other antibody components or other biological moieties are disclosed.
摘要:
Antigens capable of eliciting antibodies which can enhance the rate of chemical reactions at peptide bonds are disclosed. In particular, the rate of cleavage or formation of metastable peptide bonds, such as ASN-X, ASP-X, GLN-X, GLU-X, LYS-X, and HIS-Y-X, where X and Y are any amino acid, is enhanced by antibodies elicited by said antigen.
摘要:
A method for increasing the rate of a chemical reaction involving conversion of at least one reactant to at least one product which comprises contacting the reactant with at least one appropriate monoclonal antibody to the reactant under suitable conditions permitting formation of a complex between the monoclonal antibody and the reactant, conversion of the reactant to the product and release of the product from the complex, the monoclonal antibody being characterized by a K>1, where K=k.sub.r /k.sub.p, k.sub.r is the affinity constant of the monoclonal antibody for the reactant and k.sub.p is the affinity constant of the monoclonal antibody for the product, by an r.sub.1 >r.sub.0, where r.sub.1 is the rate of formation of the complex between the antibody and the reactant and where r.sub.0 is the rate of the chemical reaction in the absence of monclonal antibody, by an r.sub.2 >r.sub.0, where r.sub.2 is the rate of the conversion of the complexed reactant to the complexed product and by an r.sub.3 >r.sub.0, where r.sub.3 is the rate of release of the product from the complex.

Antigens capable of eliciting antibodies which can catalyze chemical reactions, in particular, the cleavage or formation of a peptide linkage, comprising a hapten or a hapten and a suitable carrier molecule are disclosed. Haptens include, among others, silicon and boron containing compounds. Antibodies which are catalytically active for chemical reactions, in particular, the cleavage or formation of a selected peptide linkage or an ester bond, and which are elicited by such antigens are disclosed as well as methods for producing the antibodies and methods for catalyzing the cleavage or formation of a peptide linkage or in ester bond in a molecule.
摘要:
A method for the detection of an analyte of interest in a sample, which method comprises the steps of: (1) forming a composition comprising (a) a sample, (b) at least one substance selected from the group consisting of (i) added analyte of interest or an analog of the analyte of interest, (ii) a binding partner of the analyte of interest or its said analog, and (iii) a reactive component capable of binding with (i) or (ii), wherein one of said substances is linked to a label compound having a chemical moiety capable of being induced to luminesce, and (c) a plurality of particles capable of specifically binding with the analyte and/or a substance defined in (b) (i), (b) (ii), or (b) (iii); (2) inducing the label compound to luminesce; and (3) measuring luminescence emitted by the composition to determine the presence of the analyte of interest in the sample.
摘要:
Graphitic nanotubes, which include tubular fullerenes (commonly called “buckytubes”) and fibrils, which are functionalized by chemical substitution, are used as solid supports in electrogenerated chemiluminescence assays. The graphitic nanotubes are chemically modified with functional group biomolecules prior to use in an assay. Association of electrochemiluminescent ruthenium complexes with the functional group biomolecule-modified nanotubes permits detection of molecules including nucleic acids, antigens, enzymes, and enzyme substrates by multiple formats.

摘要:
Provided are immunogenic compositions based on the highly conserved, core CD4 binding site of the gp120 protein of the human immunodeficiency virus. One embodiment includes an antigenic conjugate of an electophilic derivative of HIV gp120 peptide 416-433, designated E-416-433, covalently linked to an immunogenic carrier protein. The compositions are effective in stimulating the production of HIV neutralizing antibodies in mammals. Provided also are related methods of immunization, methods of antibody production and antibodies obtained using the methods of the invention.
