RESUMO
This report describes the conditions that are necessary for iodination of staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) by use of chloramine-T. Makor Chemical Co. SEB and the two major SEB components, which were prepared by isoelectric focusing of partially purified SEB, were used in these studies. The antigenic activity of the SEB preparations was monitored by radioimmunoassay as the oxidation/reduction (O/R) potential was increased by addition of chloramine-T. The SEB preparations lost antigenic activity rapidly at pH 7.5 and room temperature when sufficient chloramine-T was added to raise the O/R potential above 250 mV. Iodinated SEB with satisfactory immunoreactivity was prepared by omitting carrier iodide from the iodination reaction mixture and by using at least 1 mg of SEB/ml, steps which made the O/R potential more stable, and by stopping the reaction before the O/R potential exceeded 250 mV. Comparison of the chloramine-T method with a lactoperoxidase/H2O2 method of iodinating SEB showed the latter to cause a greater loss of immunoreactivity.
