Antisera were raised in rabbits against five synthetic peptides. These peptides have been identified as potentially antigenic epitopes from the sequence of porcine choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) using primary and secondary structure analysis. All five antisera recognized immunoaffinity-purified antigen from porcine brain in an ELISA and on western blots. Four antisera recognized ChAT on dot blots, and another four antisera reacted with native and degraded enzyme in a sandwich ELISA using monoclonal antibodies as the capture antibody. One peptide antiserum was of similar avidity in this sandwich ELISA as a polyclonal antibody raised against immunoaffinity-purified ChAT. The same antiserum reacted with the enzyme from human placenta in an ELISA and on western and dot blots and recognized ChAT in rat, primate, and human neurons. Thus, a single peptide (amino acids 168-189) provides the means for easy, reliable, and reproducible generation of antibodies against ChAT suitable for replacing conventional polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies.

D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides
D010920 Placenta A highly vascularized mammalian fetal-maternal organ and major site of transport of oxygen, nutrients, and fetal waste products. It includes a fetal portion (CHORIONIC VILLI) derived from TROPHOBLASTS and a maternal portion (DECIDUA) derived from the uterine ENDOMETRIUM. The placenta produces an array of steroid, protein and peptide hormones (PLACENTAL HORMONES). Placentoma, Normal,Placentome,Placentas,Placentomes
D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon

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. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
