  • Patent number: 4957859
    Abstract: Preparation of novel polypeptide sequences spanning amino acid position 61 of the ras protein, said sequences being characterized as containing a leucine in that position instead of the glutamine found in normal ras protein, the utilization of such polypeptides to prepare immunogen compositions utilizing such polypeptide covalently linked to immunogenic carrier materials, the production of antibodies elicited by such polypeptides, the screening of such antibodies to provide monoclonals specific to the P21Tleu61 transforming protein and to immunoassay and use in immunochemical methods employing such antibodies to determine the presence of the p21TLeu61 transforming protein.
