Abstract

Bovine serum albumin conjugates of guanosine prepared by the periodate method was used as immunogen to elicit guanosine antibodies in rabbits. The specificities of the antibodies were studied by the inhibition of their binding to [3H]Gox-red, [32P]DNA and [3H]RNA by related non-radioactive compounds. A population of antibodies is specific to Gox-red with an average association constant of around 107M−1 at 4°C. There are a population of antibodies which bind to [32P]ssDNA and [3H]RNA specifically at guanosine residues. RNA binding antibodies were separated into two populations by affinity chromatography.
