title: Monoclonal anti-idiotype antibody mimicking the pesticide binding site of cutinase: potential for broad specificity organophosphate recognition.
abstract: An anti-idiotype monoclonal antibody (Mab) able to bind the organophosphate pesticides, chlorfenvinphos (CFV), ethyl paraoxon, tetrachlorfenvinphos and demeton-s-methyl, has been produced using as immunogen a Mab which binds to the active site of cutinase. The principle of using an anti-idiotype antibody as the mimic of a site on a protein able to bind a group of ligands has, therefore, been demonstrated, and may have implications for future research on broad specificity immunoanalysis of groups of compounds.
