Abstract
The present invention relates to a process for preparing protein-specific antibodies, to protein-specific antibodies which can be obtained thereby, namely polyclonal, crossreactive antisera possessing specificity for haptoglobin derived from at least two productive animal and domestic animal species, and to their use for determining haptoglobin in productive animal and domestic animal samples. The invention furthermore relates to corresponding immunization cocktails, to peptides which can be used for preparing the antisera, and to immunoassay sets which are based on the antisera. Both protein and protein fragments are used for the immunization.
Claims13
A process for preparing protein-specific antibodies by immunizing a host and, in a manner known per se, obtaining the antibodies, with at least one immunization cocktail, which contains protein and at least one fragment thereof, being administered to the host, characterized in that protein from at least two different animal species is used.
The process as claimed in one of the preceding claims, characterized in that at least one protein fragment which exhibits conserved sequences is used.
A process for preparing haptoglobin-specific antibodies by immunizing a host and in known per se obtaining the antibodies, characterized in that at least one immunization cocktail, which contains haptoglobin and at least one haptoglobin fragment, is administered to the host.
An immunization cocktail which is composed of protein, at least one fragment thereof and, where appropriate, auxiliary substances, characterized in that protein from at least two different animal species is used.
A peptide having one of the amino acid sequences SEQ ID NO:1 and SEQ ID NO:2.
