title: Studies on the conjugation of leukotriene B4 with proteins for development of a radioimmunoassay for leukotriene B4.
abstract: Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) (I) has been converted to its N-(3-amino-propyl)amide derivative (III) and to its hydrazide derivative (VII) via LTB4 delta-lactone. The amide (III) was coupled with Bovine Serum Albumin using 1,5-difluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene as coupling agent. The hydrazide (VII), was coupled with Hemocyanin (Keyhole Limpet) (KLH) using 6-N-maleimidohexanoic acid chloride as coupling agent.
