In order to develop specific antibodies against human heart cytoplasmic fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABPc), four oligo-peptides of 15-20 amino-acids each and corresponding with different antigenic parts of the human H-FABPc molecule, were synthesized. Polyclonal antibodies against these synthetic peptides were raised in mice (Balb/C) and rabbits (Flemish giant). When tested in enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA, antibody-capture assay), antisera against three of the four peptides showed a high immunoreactivity with the synthetic peptide selected for immunization as well as with the native human H-FABPc. Some cross-reactivity with the other synthetic peptides was observed for the rabbit antisera but not for those from mice. Polyclonal antibodies against synthetic peptides can be applied for the specific detection of the native protein in biological preparations containing proteins that show a high degree of homology with the protein to be assayed.

D009206 Myocardium The muscle tissue of the HEART. It is composed of striated, involuntary muscle cells (MYOCYTES, CARDIAC) connected to form the contractile pump to generate blood flow.

D009363 Neoplasm Proteins Proteins whose abnormal expression (gain or loss) are associated with the development, growth, or progression of NEOPLASMS. Some neoplasm proteins are tumor antigens (ANTIGENS, NEOPLASM), i.e. they induce an immune reaction to their tumor. Many neoplasm proteins have been characterized and are used as tumor markers (BIOMARKERS, TUMOR) when they are detectable in cells and body fluids as monitors for the presence or growth of tumors. Abnormal expression of ONCOGENE PROTEINS is involved in neoplastic transformation, whereas the loss of expression of TUMOR SUPPRESSOR PROTEINS is involved with the loss of growth control and progression of the neoplasm. Proteins, Neoplasm

D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
