Abstract
Serological characterization of “new” antigenic determinants in heat-denatured and formocresoltreated rabbit serum albumin was achieved by inhibition assay using the enzyme-liked immunosorbent assay. The results suggested that the antigenic determinant “newly” exposed through heat denaturation originated from one of the sequential determinants that was hidden in the conformational structure of the albumin molecule. Another antigenic determinant detected in the albumin after formocresol denturation was serologically demonstrated by the haptenic determinant of formocresol. The antibody levels to the human serum albumin denatured by heat were significantly high in periapical exudates and sera from the patients with periapical pathosis.
