  • Metal dependent catalytic antibodies and method for producing the same
    Patent number: 5962291
    Abstract: The present invention relates to catalytic antibodies and a method for producing the same wherein a host is immunized using an "antigen chelate" or more specifically a stable compound capable of chelating metal ions. The immune response mounted in response to the antigen chelate produces antibodies that are capable of binding both a substrate and a metal ion, thus achieving a metal cofactor assisted reaction.
