Abstract :
[en] To induce a good immune response to oxytocin (OT) we developed a two-step technique to conjugate OT to thyroglobulin (TG) using glutaraldehyde. We obtained 30 hybridomas recognizing OT-ovalbumin conjugates and 16 stable lines. Three monoclonal antibodies were selected for further characterization. One of them (O13) was found to be very specific for OT using three different techniques (EIA, RIA and ICC); it si directed to the C-terminal tripeptide. The other two probably recongize tyrosine-containing epitope(s) also shared by vasopressin and other related nonapeptides.
