| Research Abstract |
3,4-dihydrocoumarin (3,4-DHC) is known to be a potent skin sensitizer that has electrophilic property to from a covalent bond with deprotonated amino groups. Incubation of 3,4-DHC in aqueous solution resulted in hydrolysis to form 3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)propanoic acid (HPA) and formation of 3,4-DHC-lysine adduct in the presence of lysine. Also, LC-MS analysis showed that 3,4-DHC modified lysine residues in KLH. By using such a 3,4-DHC-KLH adduct, we prepared the polyclonal antibody against 3,4-DHC.
