We have previously shown that the carrier polytuftsin obtained by polycondensation of tuftsin, a naturally occurring macrophage activator, increases significantly the antibody response against a linked B-epitope. In the present work, we have studied the influence of different cross-linking reagents on the quality of the conjugation and on the immune response, at both B-cell and T-cell levels. We observed that the cross-linking method used for coupling the B-epitope to the carrier influences the immune response. A hypothesis is put forward to explain the differences observed.
