[Localization of antigenic determinants using monoclonal antibodies and alpha-NH2-terminal labeling of polypeptide chains].
A method for localization of antigenic determinants in a polypeptide chain of unknown primary structure was proposed. A protein is modified at NH2-terminal and epsilon-NH2-groups of lysine residues with maleic anhydride and then is subjected to partial enzymatic cleavage. Newly formed NH2-terminal groups are tagged with radioiodinated Bolton--Hunter's reagent. The labeled fragments of the antigen are then demaleylated. Comparison of the two longest labeled fragments, only one of which still binds monoclonal antibody, makes it possible to define the location of the antigenic determinant along the polypeptide chain. The method was tested on the bovine tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase using earlier prepared monoclonal antibodies against this enzyme.
