The cross-reactivities were determined using an ELISA test by competition experiments with the following compounds:

Compound Cross-reactivity
Tryptophan-G-PL 1
5-Hydroxytryptophan-G-PL .01
5-Methoxytryptophan-G-PL .004
Tryptophan=G=PL (non reduced) .002
Tryptophan .0003
Tryptamine-G-PL .00009
5-Methoxytryptamine-G-PL .00002
5-Hydroxytryptamine-G-PL .000004

The antisera was also tested for specificity using the free-floating PAP technique on rat brain.

Abbreviations:
