Abstract

Synthetic antigens related to luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (hereinafter designated LH-RH) having the amino acid composition, pyroglutamyl-histidyl-tryptophanylseryl-tyrosyl-glycyl-leucyl-arginyl-prol yl-glycyl-poly-L-lysine (hereinafter designated pyroglu-his-trp-ser-tyr-glyleu-arg-pro-gly-poly-L-lys) and poly-L-lysyl-glutarylhistidyl-tryptophanyl-seryl-tyrosyl-glycyl-leucyl-arg inylprolyl-glycine amide (hereinafter designated poly-L-lysglutaryl-his-trp-ser-tyr-gly-leu-arg-pro-gly) are prepared by coupling the corresponding decapeptide with poly-L-lysine. The corresponding decapeptides are prepared by controlled stepwise procedures starting with individual amino acid components. These antigens have the property of inducing formation of antibodies to luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) in animals.
