β¦ Synopsis
The rationale for designing and synthesizing 24 different peptide analogs and subpeptides of residues 69-84 of guinea pig myelin basic protein is presented. The encephalitogenic potential of 19 of these peptides in Lewis rats is also given.

Immunochemical analysis of polyclonal antisera from Lewis rats immunized with peptide analogs and subpeptides of residues 72-84 of guinea pig myelin basic protein (MBP) indicated that there were four main epitopic specificities involved: one represented by residues 76-80, one by residues 72-74, one
The antibody recognition of synthetic rabbit encephalitogen S24 (TTHYGSLPQKG), which had been inactivated by extensive iodination, was fully restored by tritium-iodine exchange during boron hydride reduction. A highly active form of 3H-S24 was obtained by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chroma
