title: Conjugation behaviour of different monoclonal antibodies to f-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine.
abstract: Monoclonal antibodies (moab) are potentially useful carriers for the targeting of effector substances into tumors. Conjugation of the chemotactic peptide f-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP) to tumor-directed antibodies yields compounds active in vitro and in vivo. The present experiments examine the conjugation of fMLP to four different moab iso- and idiotypes. Molar coupling rations and chemotactic activity are not dependent on the moab species used for conjugation.
