Application of monoclonal antibodies and genetically-engineered hybrid B-subunit proteins to the analysis of the cholera/coli enterotoxin family.
Single amino acid substitutions, introduced by genetic engineering, significantly modify the behavior of the B-subunits of the cholera/coli enterotoxin family in SDS-PAGE and also markedly affect the reactivity of the proteins with mouse hybridoma-derived monoclonal antibodies raised against H-LT. The results indicate that single amino acids play an important role in defining epitopes in these proteins.
