title: Antibodies to a short synthetic peptide cross-react with human recombinant interleukin 1 alpha.
abstract: An antiserum to human interleukin 1 alpha has been prepared by immunizing a sheep with a short synthetic peptide (Mr 1427) conjugated to keyhole limpet haemocyanin using the heterobifunctional cross-linking agent N-succinimidyl bromoacetate. The peptide was selected from a highly hydrophilic region corresponding to residues 169-179 of the cDNA-derived sequence. Two additional peptides corresponding to residues 194-207 and 224-233 failed to elicit cross-reacting antibodies.
