Abstract
The synthesis of the non-Ca binding AB loop of the assembly 13-32 of cod Allergen M (Mr [MW] 2122.1 [daltons]) was accomplished by solid-phase peptide synthesis. This peptide and the previously synthesized ones have significant amino acid sequence homology. The synthetic crude preparation was obtained at relatively high recovery and purity. Further purification on a Bio-Gel P-2 column and a reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography column improved the grade of homogeneity, as demonstrated by high-voltage electrophoresis, end-terminal analysis and amino acid composition. The peptide could, although to a much weaker extent than the intact Allergen M, directly bind IgE antibodies from the sera of cod-allergic individuals. At identical molar concentrations, a ratio of 1:6 for the in vitro reactivity of the peptide relative to the intact Allergen M was obtained. A similar reactivity was shown in the in vivo system used. The peptide also reacted with rabbit anti-Allergen M antibodies in rocket immunoelectrophoresis. The peptide appears to function as a divalent molecule in its primary interaction with antibodies.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
