Popis: The effects of chemical modifications on the antigenic properties of bovine β-lactoglobulin was studied by three different assay systems with IgG antibodies; immuno-double diffusion, quantitative immunoprecipitin assay, and radioimmunoassay. Carboxymethylation, succinylation, and guanidination seemed not to disturb the antigenicity of β-lactoglobulin in immuno-double diffusion, but the decrease in the affinity of these derivatives for anti-β-lactoglobulin antibody was observed in the quantitative immunoprecipitin assay and radioimmunoassay. Nitrophenylsulfenylation or reduction and Carboxymethylation seemed to delete one of the antigenic sites of β-lactoglobulin judging from the data of immuno-double diffusion, but the results from the quantitative immunoprecipitin assay and radioimmunoassay showed that reduction and Carboxymethylation affected the antigenicity of β-lactoglobulin more strongly than nitrophenylsulfenylation did.
