Since the positive charge on the lysine residues plays an important role in the receptor recognition ability of oLH, the hormonotoxin has been synthesised with the use of 2-iminothiolane HC1 (2IT) and N-Succinimidyl-3-(2-pyridyldithio)-propionate (SPDP). The oLH activated with 2IT (oLH-10) was then mixed with SPDP activated gelonin (gelonin-30) in order to obtain a oLH-S-S-gelonin hormonotoxin. The conjugation mixture containing hormonotoxin was purified by gel-filtration chromatography according to the molecular weight and a complete physico-chemical, immunochemical and biochemical analysis were performed. The linkage occurred through the epsilon-NH2 groups of alpha-subunit of oLH as judged from RP-HPLC analysis. A1:1 (oLH:gelonin) molar ratio was obtained when determined with the use of several techniques. The hormonotoxins retained substantial receptor binding, steroidogenic activity and immunoreactivity. The competitive displacement analysis indicate that the binding occurs via the hormone part leaving the gelonin free which was probed with the gelonin antibodies. The presently described (C150A-02, C160A-02 and C170A-02) hormonotoxins exhibited higher receptor binding and toxicity to the target cells than the hormonotoxins prepared with the use of SPDP only. Therefore it is concluded that higher receptor binding and cytotoxicity may be due to the retention of positive charge on the lysine residues of oLH which was preserved during the conjugation process.
