With small haptens, the greatest antibody specificity for a reactive group appears to occur when that reactive group is most distant from the site of the linkage binding to the carrier protein. Previous attempts at immunization have produced polyclonal antibodies which have poor specificity for heptachlor.

Abstract

Cette invention concerne des procédés de préparation d'anticorps monoclonaux utiles pour détecter la présence de cyclodiènes dans des échantillons prélevés sur des produits alimentaires et dans l'environnement ambiant. Des anticorps monoclonaux réagissant de manière spécifique aux cyclodiènes peuvent détecter des pesticides qui se sont accumulés dans les échantillons prélevés sur des aliments, des tissus et le milieu ambiant. Le prélèvement et la préparation d'échantillons organiques destinés à subir dosage immunologique dans un milieu de réaction polaire-non polaire permet de détecter des structures cycliques organiques halogénées dont la concentration est faible dans des échantillons.
