ABSTRACT
The immunochemical behavior of several fragments of equine growth hormone (eGH) was examined using competitive binding assays with antibodies (Abs) to eGH obtained from different sources. Antigenicity was detected within the sequences 5-72 and 73-123 by rabbit Abs to eGH and by three mouse monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) produced by using bovine growth hormone as immunogen, but showing heteroclitic properties towards eGH. The polyclonal Abs to eGH also recognized as immunoreactive two smaller peptides corresponding to the amino acid residues 52-72 and 110-123. By contrast, the heteroclitic Abs to eGH developed by hypopituitary patients therapeutically injected with human growth hormone failed to react with any eGH-derived fragment. The rabbit polyclonal Abs and the mouse MAbs scarely discriminated between native and S-carbamidomethylated eGH, while the heteroclitic human Abs detected a clear difference between the native and the modified hormone.
