Abstract
A conjugate of leukotriene (LT) E4 and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was prepared by covalently linking the free amino group of the hapten to the protein using dimethyl pimelindiimidate (DMP) as coupling reagent. Anti‐LTE4 antibodies were raised in rabbits immunized with the conjugate. Binding of[3H]LTE4 to the antibodies is inhibited by 50% with 0.63 ng LTE4, while the relative cross‐reaction of LTC4 and LTD4 is 46.3% and 12.6%, respectively. Using the radioimmunoassay release of sulfidopeptide‐LT (SP‐LT) from rat gastric mucosa incubated in vitro was determined after quantitative enzymatic conversion of SP‐LT to LTE4. It could be demonstrated that this method is suitable for determination of SP‐LT in biological material.Keywords
