مستخلص: Purified peptide 105-124, an antigenic determinant from the carboxy terminus of ribonuclease, was found to form an immune precipitate with antibody to that region prepared by affinity chromatography from goat hyperimmune anti- serum to reduced carboxymethylated ribonuclease (CM-RNase). CM-RNase also gave an immune precipitate with the antibody. Purified antibody to another region of similar size (40-61) did not form a precipitate with CM-RNase but did co-precipitate in the presence of antibody to peptide 105-124 and CM-RNase. The precipitin reaction between antibody to peptide 105-124 and CM-RNase was inhibited by two synthetic derivatives, peptides 118-124 and ala 114-RNase 114- 124. Stoichiometry of the precipitin reactions of antibody to 105-124 with CM- RNase or peptide 105-124 suggested an antigen valency of three or more. Consistent with this both peptides 105-124 and 114-RNase 114-124 elicited immediate cutaneous reactions but 118-124 did not. These findings suggest that the eicosapeptide 105-124 is multivalent since at least three antibodies can react simultaneously with it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
