In order to determine the fine structure of the mammalian metallothionein (MT) epitope to a monoclonal anti-rat Zn-MT-II antibody (MT 189-14-7), N-terminal peptides of various lengths of mammalian metallothioneins (MTs) were synthesized by a conventional solution method using the newly developed beta-2-adamantylaspartate, and their immunological properties were examined. It was found that the N-terminal acetyl group was indispensable for the reaction with the monoclonal antibody and the N-terminally acetylated pentapeptide, Ac-Met-Asp-Pro-Asn-Cys-OH, was the smallest peptide which exhibited a significant reactivity with the antibody.
为了确定哺乳动物金属硫蛋白(MT)表位针对单克隆抗大鼠锌-MT-II抗体(MT 189-14-7)的精细结构,使用新开发的β-2-金刚烷天冬氨酸,通过传统溶液法合成了各种长度的哺乳动物金属硫蛋白(MTs)的N端肽,并检测了它们的免疫特性。发现N端乙酰基对于与单克隆抗体的反应是必不可少的,并且N端乙酰化的五肽Ac-Met-Asp-Pro-Asn-Cys-OH是与该抗体表现出显著反应性的最小肽。
