Abstract

With help from fellow lab members, this project involved the synthesis of several antigen linkers in order to aid the understanding of histamine secretion of basophil cells. It is hypothesized that the bi-valent linkers (such as the ones outlined below) do not stimulate basophil cells, but that the tri-valent antigens (not shown in this report) do cause granulation of cells.
