Abstrakt: The feasibility of obtaining a conjugated benz(a)pyrene-protein antigen in the liver cytochrome P-450 system was studied. Covalent binding of benz(a)pyrene (BP) to albumin was performed with the use of liver microsomal fractions of 3-methylcholanthrene-induced rabbits. It was demonstrated that BP oxidation in liver microsomes is accompanied by covalent binding of [14C]BP to exogenous rabbit albumin. Immunization of rabbits with the obtained conjugate results in the development of a specific immune response to BP, and the appearance of specific antibodies and lymphocytes specifically binding [14C]BP in the blood.
