Synthesis and Identification of Artificial Antigen for Alkaloids from Traditional Chinese Medicine / 世界科学技术-中医药现代化

ABSTRACT

Alkaloids are a kind of natural nitrogen compounds which are widespread in the nature, with special and significant activities in pharmacology. In recent years, immunoassay techniques have been applied for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of alkaloids from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). However, preparation and identifica-tion of artificial antigen with good immunogenicity are necessary and important for establishment of immunoassay for alkaloids from TCM. This paper summarized the designing ideas and procedures for preparation of artificial antigen and identification for the conjugates of alkaloids and carrier protein, in order to provide reference point for establish-ment and application of immunoassay techniques.
