Immunogenic conjugates comprising cyclosporins.

摘要

Immunogenic conjugates comprising a carrier coupled to a cyclosporin having an activate coupling group, e.g. activated carboxy group, e.g. (i) [(O-succinimidooxysuccinyl)-Thr]<2>-Cyclosporine and (ii) [(N- epsilon -succinimidooxysuccinyl)-(D)Lys]<8>-Cyclosporine. The subject conjugates are useful for the generation of monoclonal antibodies capable of distinguishing between cyclosporins, e.g. Cyclosporine, and metabolites, e.g. Cyclosporins 17 and 18.
