Abstract

A sensitive radioimmunoassay for human β-endorphin has been developed. When natural human β-lipotropin and various synthetic analogs of β-endorphin were assayed for their immunoreactivity, lack of correlation was found between opiate activity and immunoreactivity. These data suggest that residues 6-15 of β-endorphin are the antigenic determinant.
