Definitions

  • the present invention relates to new applications of disulfide-bridged substances.
  • S-S bridges Most proteins and many peptides contain cysteine residues that can be linked by S-S bridges. These S-S bridges can be both intra- and intermolecular. If they are intermolecular, two or more protein molecules can be connected to one another.
  • Antibodies and suitable as calibration substances for the determination of molecular weights of higher molecular substances are provided.
  • the present invention is particularly suitable for those proteins or peptides which, in the native state, where the S-S bridges are generally intermolecular, are not immunogenic or are only extremely weak.
  • hirudin intermolecularly linked via S-S bridges is preferred for the production of antibodies against hirudin.
  • the starting point is the SH proteins or SH peptides, which e.g. in an aqueous buffer at pH values of 5 to 10, preferably 7.5 to 9, in a known manner using oxidizing agents such as oxygen or hydrogen peroxide to give S-S-di- or polymers.
  • the reaction is generally carried out at a temperature of 4 ° C to 45 ° C.
  • the optimal reaction temperature should be determined for each protein in a test range. Denatured and reduced proteins and peptides are particularly suitable for the production of intermolecular disulfide bridges.
  • the degree of polymerization can be determined by varying the concentration of SH protein or oxidizing agent in the oxi set dations approach. The degree of polymerization increases with increasing concentration of protein or peptide or oxidizing agent.
