Abstract
Antibodies to triphosphoinositide (TPI, I-phosphatidylinositol-3,4-bisphosphate) were raised in rabbits immunized with a hapten suspension of TPI, lecithin and cholesterol (1:4:30 by wt) in 0.1% methylated BSA. The hapten suspension was administered i.v. every two days for three weeks with each rabbit receiving a total of 3 mg TPI. Immunodiffusion with the partially purified immunoglobulin fraction and the comparison of complement-isofixation curves demonstrate complete cross-reactivity between TPI and diphosphoinositide (DPI) and very little specificity towards phosphatidylinositol (PI) and cardiolipin.
