✦ Synopsis
Polyclonal antibodies were raised against covalently protein-coupled 1,2,3,4,6-pentagalloylglucose, the common and immediate precursor of the two subclasses of hydrolyzable tannins, i.e. the polyphenolic gallotannins and ellagitannins. The crude antisera were efficiently purified by affinity-chromatography on pentagalloylglucose-substituted Sepharose. This antibody displayed strong affinity in heterogeneous competitive ELISAs towards both gallotannins and ellagitannins. In contrast, insignificant cross-reactivities, or none, were observed with dimeric proanthocyanidins (condensed tannins) and their monomeric precursors, as well as with low-molecular weight phenolics. The antibodies were inactive with aliphatic polyhydroxylated compounds, as has been shown for monomeric, dimeric and polymeric carbohydrates.

Anti-actin monoclonal antibodies were prepared using phalloidin-stabilized actin that was purified from pea roots by DNase I affinity chromatography. One monoclonal antibody, designated mAb3H 1 1, bound plant actin in preliminary screenings and was further analyzed. Immunoblot analysis showed that t
Antibody titres in immunoglobulin preparations for intravenous use were tested against 24 different enterovirus serotypes and varied between 1 : 100 and 1 : 10,000 within a single batch. Differences up to 8-fold were found for homologous titres between two different batches that were prepared 6 year
