β¦ Synopsis
Nonenzymatic modifications of the Eamine of lysine residues in proteins have been described in diabetes, uremia, highdose aspirin therapy, and alcoholism. In this review, we describe the generation of lysine-modification-specific antibodies that can be used to identify and to quantitate nonenzymatic glucosylation, carbamyla-tion, acetylation, ethylation, or methylation of lysine residues. Polyvalent or monoclonal antibodies that are absolutely specific for the lysine-specific modification are obtained by immunization with modified autologous or homologous low-density plasma lipoproteins.
