To produce antibodies against synthetic peptides it is necessary to couple them to a protein carrier. This chapter provides a nonspecialist overview of peptide-carrier conjugation. Furthermore, a protocol for coupling cysteine-containing peptides to bovine serum albumin is outlined.
Keywords: Bovine serum albumin; Peptide-carrier conjugation; m-Maleimidobenzoyl-N-hydroxysuccinimidyl ester (MBS).
