Figure 1.
Fig. 1. Antigenic activity of the parent and retro-inverso (RI) peptide in TFE measured using the biosensor instrument BIAcore. The successive steps of the assay and the controls are described under "Materials and Methods." The results reflect the effect of TFE on the antigenicity of peptides. The antibodies used as probes were not in contact with the TFE solution during the test. The peptides tested are described in the figure. The antibodies tested were from guinea pig antisera (diluted 1:50) raised against the L-peptide 141-159 (a) and RI-peptide 141-159 (b) and from rabbit antisera (diluted 1:20) raised against the L-peptide 141-159 (c) and RI-peptide 141-159 (d). The mouse monoclonal antibody 4x11 directed against the parent peptide IRGERA was tested as a control with the L- and retro-inverso peptides IRGERA (e). The results are expressed in RU.
