摘要 |
The invention relates to erythropoietin (EPO) peptides and to the use thereof for preparing epitope-specific anti-EPO antibodies. The invention furthermore relates to epitope-specific anti-EPO antibodies, which can be polyclonal antibodies (antisera) or monoclonal antibodies. The invention additionally relates to the use of the epitope-specific anti-EPO antibodies for purifying EPO, EPO derivatives or EPO peptides. The invention also relates to anti-idiotype antibodies which imitate a receptor region of EPO. Finally, the invention relates to the use of the epitope-specific anti-EPO antibodies for the detection, preferably for the epitope-specific detection, of EPO, to pharmaceuticals which contain the said EPO peptides, anti-EPO antibodies or anti-idiotype antibodies, and to diagnostic aids for detecting EPO or anti-EPO antibodies. |
