Popis: | Noradrenaline (NA) was conjugated to different protein carriers witglutaraldehyde. During the catecholamine conjugate synthesis, precautions were taken in order to preserve the structure of NA. Anti-NA antibodies were raised in rabbits and tested using a modified enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunocytochemistry. The most immunoreactive antigen was found to be the reduced NA conjugate. The octopamine conjugate was recognized by the NA antiserum 16x less than the reduced NA conjugate. The other conjugates, dopamine, l -dihydroxyphenylalanine and adrenaline were poorly recognized by the anti-NA antibodies. A good correlation was found between results obtained using the in vitro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunocytochemistry. |
