Abstract
Immunization of rabbits with the phage SPO1-DNA-MBSA complex results in the production of antibodies which react only with DNA containing 5-hydroxymethyluracil. These antibodies react predominantly with denatured DNA. Their ability to react with DNA containing 5-hydroxymethyluracil does not depend on the presence of glucose in DNA. Thus, it has been shown that 5-hydroxymethyluracil acts as a specific antigenic determinant.
