dc.description.abstractA two-step zero-length cross-linking procedure using active esters was successfully adopted for conjugating metanephrine (MN) and normetanephrine (NM) to bovine serum albumin (BSA). The protein was activated with water-soluble 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC) in the presence of N-hydroxysulfosuccimide (sulfo-NHS), leading to the formation of active N-succinimidyl esters of some glutamic and aspartic acid carboxyls. The pertinence of this reaction for the coupling of these haptens to carboxylate groups was confirmed via reaction with a model compound, 2-hydroxybenzoic acid, and subsequent characterization using atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry (APCI-MS). Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) was used for the quantitative assessment of the hapten/protein ratios of these conjugates. This technique of conjugate characterization demonstrated greater resolution in molecular weight determination compared to nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (native PAGE). Preliminary results from enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and inhibition ELISA procedures using test antisera confirmed that the synthesized immunogens were highly antigenic and elicited specific antibody responses in BALB/c mice against the haptens. © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
