Development of a specific antispermine antibody
Abstract
Highly specific antibody to spermine was produced in the rabbits by immunization with a spermine-thyroglobulin conjugate of high molar ratio (740:1). Cross-reactivity with spermidine was 1.4-2.2 percent and negligible with putrescine and other compounds of similar structure. The average affinity constant of five pools of antispermine rabbit antisera was Ka = 1.8 +/- 0.2 X 10(8) liter/mole.
