Monoclonal Antibodies against Pectin: Recognition of a Conformation Induced by Calcium

Year: 1989

Type: article

Abstract: Monoclonal antibodies have been produced that recognize a conformation of homopolygalacturonic acid (pectic acid) induced by an optimum concentration of calcium and sodium of about 1 and 150 millinormal, respectively. The epitope recognized is probably part of the dimers of pectin chains associated according to the ;egg box' model.
