title: Demonstration of high specificity antibodies against phosphatidylserine.
abstract: Anti-phosphatidylserine antibodies were raised in rabbits immunized with phosphatidylserine-polyacrylamide gels and with phosphatidylserine-cytochrome c vesicles. A solid-phase immunoenzymatic assay (ELISA) was developed to study the immune serum. The optimal conditions were defined and the technique used to obtain quantitative results. The anti-phosphatidylserine serum diluted to 1/1000 was tested against several phospholipids and was found to be highly specific to phosphatidylserine. This represents the first experimental demonstration of the specificity of antibodies raised against phosphatidylserine.
