title: [Synthesis and immunochemical properties of peptides corresponding to sequences 59-72 and 25-36 of human interleukin-2].
abstract: Synthesis of peptides corresponding to the 59-72 and 25-36 sequences of human IL-2 is reported. The former peptide, which had been shown to be immunogenic in the protein molecule, was prepared to obtain antipeptide antibodies for isolation and purification of the recombinant IL-2. We located the epitope at the C-terminus of this peptide. In accordance with the IL-2 secondary structure and hydrophilicity profile analysis, the 25-36 fragment was chosen as the potential epitope. The peptides were synthesized by conventional methods in solution, conjugated with a protein carrier, and polyclonal rabbit antisera were obtained. Antibodies against both peptides were shown to be specific to human IL-2 in ELISA. Besides, monoclonal antibodies to IL-2 recognized in ELISA the 59-72 peptide, suggesting the epitope located in this region to be main one in the protein molecule.
