β¦ Synopsis
The stereoselective recognition by monoclonal antibodies of two-dimensional monolayers of cholesterol spread at the air-water interface is presented. Using immunofluorescence, we show that one antibody, raised and selected against crystals of cholesterol monohydrate, specifically recognizes monolayers of cholesterol, but not monolayers of epicholesterol--its epimeric form. This demonstrates that stereoselective recognition also applies to protein-surface interactions.
