“…Three further boosters were given at intervals of 4 months using similar techniques but with haemocyanin from the keyhole limpet (Sigma Chemical Co, Poole, Dorset) as the protein carrier instead of BSA. 125I-Labelled GIP was prepared using a modification of an enzymatic iodination method (Holohan, Murphy, Flanagan, Buchanan & Elmore, 1973) carried out at room temperature. Two nmol GIP were dissolved in 50 pi 005 mol sodium acetate/1, pH 50, followed by rapid serial additions of approximately 0-5 nmol Na125I (37 MBq; IMS 30,555 MBq/pg I; The Radiochemical Centre, Amersham), 22 pmol lactoperoxidase derived from milk (Sigma Chemical Co) and I -8 nmol H202/1, the latter two in 10 pi acetate buffer.…”
