The effect on anti-hapten immune responses of altering the isoelectric point of hapten-carrier conjugates by cationization was examined in sheep and mice. No adjuvants were employed in these studies. In sheep the cationization of ovalbumin-dinitrophenyl (OVA-DNP) resulted in an enhanced primary anti-dinitrophenyl (DNP) response. The secondary anti-DNP responses were not consistently greater for animals primed with cationized (CAT) OVA-DNP than in animals primed with OVA-DNP. Similar results were obtained with mice immunized with bovine serum albumin (BSA)-DNP or CAT BSA-DNP. Mice and sheep primed with OVA-DNP failed to mount an anamnestic response following secondary immunization with CAT OVA-DNP. Failure of a cationized hapten-carrier to stimulate a secondary anti-DNP response following priming with uncationized hapten-carrier was also observed in mice using BSA-DNP as the model antigen.

D007132 Immunoglobulin Isotypes The classes of immunoglobulins found in any species of animal. In man there are nine classes that migrate in five different groups in electrophoresis; they each consist of two light and two heavy protein chains, and each group has distinguishing structural and functional properties.

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.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement.
