Abstract
Tyrosyl, thyronine, and histidyl compounds of the formulas: ##SPC1##
Where R'"'"' is selected from the group consisting of --OH and --NHPp and R" is selected from the class consisting of --H and --COPp, where Pp is a polypeptide chain having from 1 to 250 peptide groups, with or without pendant groups, X is selected from the class consisting of H and I; when X is I, X'"'"' is selected from the group consisting of H and I; and n is 0 or 1, where X'"'"' is H when n is 0; are conjugated to a carrier by first forming a primary aromatic amine on the carrier, diazotizing the amine, and coupling the tyrosyl, histidyl, or thyronine through the diazo group to form a novel antigenic conjugate. This novel antigenic conjugate can be injected into an animal for production of specific antibodies which are useful in assaying for the target, particularly by radioassaying.

19. A method for forming a synthetic antigen from a carrier selected from the class consisting of proteins and synthetic proteins, said carrier having an available reactive group for coupling thereto, a hapten having a reactive group selected from the class consisting of amino and carboxyl, and a carbon atom susceptible to diazonium coupling, and a primary aromatic amine compound having a reactive residue capable of coupling to the reactive group on the carrier, wherein the carrier reactive group and the primary amine compound reactive residue consist of a carboxyl group and an amino group, whereby the carrier can be coupled to the primary amine compound by an amide group, the method comprising:
