Chloramphenicol derivatives, antigens and antibodies

摘要

Chloramphenicol derivatives are provided for use in preparing antigen conjugates for the production of antibodies specific for chloramphenicol. Specifically, the aryl group is derivatized with a side chain functionalized to provide for a carbonyl functionality to react with amino groups of a poly(amino acid). The conjugate is then injected into a vertebrate for production of antisera which are isolated in conventional ways and find particular use in competitive protein binding assays.
