Abstract: FT3C hapten was synthesized via a fast, mild “Click Chemistry”, which contained a “spacer arm” of triazole ring conjugated to carboxyl site of free triiodothyronine(FT3). Immunogen and coating antigen of FT3C were respectively prepared by the coupling reaction between hapten and bovine serum albumin(BSA) or keyhole limpet hemocyanin(KLH), using the N-hydroxysuccinimide active ester method. UV spectrum of the artificial antigen(FT3C-BSA) differed significantly from those of hapten(FT3C) and BSA, the results also showed that FT3C was conjugated to BSA successfully, the coupling ratio of hapten to BSA was 7∶1; the antibody with high titer(6.24×104) and IC50 value of 0.37 mg/L was produced through immunization of Balb/c mice. This study provided a new way to prepare FT3 artificial antigen.
