摘要:
The invention provides a fragment of C1q which is characterized in that a plurality of such fragments selectively binds immune complexes or aggregated immunoglobulins in the presence of monomeric immunoglobulin. The invention also provides a synthetic peptide comprising the sequence:Leu Glu Gln Gly Glu Asn Val Phe Leu Gln Ala Thr 1 5 10 �SEQ ID NO 2!or variants thereof capable of binding immunoglobulin. Like the C1q fragment, a plurality of the peptides can selectively bind immune complexes or aggregated immunoglobulins in the presence of monomeric immunoglobulin. As a result of this property, the fragments and peptides are well-adapted for removing immune complexes and aggregated immunoglobulins from fluids containing monomeric immunoglobulin, and for detecting or quantitating immune complexes in such fluids. The invention also provides a binding material for removing immune complexes or aggregated immunoglobulins from a fluid. The binding material comprises plural binding peptides, the peptides being characterized in that a plurality of them selectively binds immune complexes and aggregated immunoglobulins in the presence of monomeric immunoglobulin. The invention also provides methods of treating an inflammatory response and prolonging the survival of transplanted tissue.

摘要:
An immunoassay for a protein that is non-enzymatically glycosylated on the alpha amino group of its N-terminal amino acid, the immunoassay comprising: providing a sample containing the glycosylated protein; reacting the glycosylated protein with a reducing agent so that the sugar residue on the N-terminal amino acid is reduced; contacting the reduced glycosylated protein with an antibody directed to Glc-ol-X which is prepared by immunizing an animal with an immunogen of the formula (Glc-ol-X-L).sub.n -carrier; and detecting or quantitating the reduced glycosylated protein bound to the antibody. In the formula (Glc-ol-X-L).sub.n -carrier: X is the N-terminal amino acid of the glycosylated protein, except that X cannot be lysine; L is a bond or a linker group; Glc-ol is the reduced form of the sugar attached to X on the glycosylated protein, and Glc-ol is attached to the alpha amino group of X; the carrier is an immunogenic compound other than the glycosylated protein; and n is from 1 to the number of available coupling sites on the carrier. Also, the antibody, the immunogen, and methods of making them. Finally, a kit for quantitating a protein glycosylated on its N-terminal amino acid.
