Antigens capable of eliciting antibodies which can catalyze chemical reactions, in particular, the cleavage or formation of a peptide linkage, comprising a hapten or a hapten and a suitable carrier molecule are disclosed. Haptens include, among others, silicon and boron containing compounds. Antibodies which are catalytically active for chemical reactions, in particular, the cleavage or formation of a selected peptide linkage or an ester bond, and which are elicited by such antigens are disclosed as well as methods for producing the antibodies and methods for catalyzing the cleavage or formation of a peptide linkage or in ester bond in a molecule.
本发明揭示了一种能够引发能够催化化学反应的抗原,特别是包括半抗原或半抗原和适当的载体分子,能够催化肽键的裂解或形成。半抗原包括硅和硼含有化合物等。本发明还揭示了能够催化化学反应,特别是选定的肽键或酯键的裂解或形成,并由此类抗原引发的抗体,以及制备抗体的方法和在分子中催化肽键或酯键的裂解或形成的方法。
