Studies in this laboratory have resulted in the delineation and synthetic verification of
several complete protein antigenic structures that are recognized by antibodies. More …

The sensitivity of methionine residues to oxidation is a mechanism by which many proteins,
including plasma proteinase inhibitors, may be oxidatively inactivated. Much evidence …

Amino acid substitutions outside protein antigenic sites are very frequently assumed to exert
no effect on binding to antiprotein antibodies, especially if these are monoclonal antibodies …
