Abstract

Monoclonal antibodies against meso-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl porphine)(TCPP) were prepared by immunizing Balb/c mice with TCPP bound keyhole limpet hemocyanin covalently and fusing the spleen cells with myeloma cells by using poly(ethylene glycol). The antibodies bind TCPP strongly with the dissociation constants of 10−6−2.5 × 10−7 M. One of the antibodies causes a large shift of the Soret band of TCPP to a longer wavelength and large induced Cotton effects(ICD) on TCPP. Quantitative analyses of the binding of TCPP to the antibody by ICD show that not only one-to-one binding but two-to one(binding site: TCPP) binding occurs in excess of the antibody over TCPP.
