With the aim of generating antibodies directed towards cesium, a calix[4]arene-crown-6 in the 1,3-alternateconformation bearing an N-hydroxysuccinimide function was synthesized. The calixarene was coupled to bovineserum albumin using different calixarene/protein ratios, and cesium was loaded. Conjugates were characterizedusing trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid derivatization, matrix assisted laser desorption ionisation-mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF-MS), and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Targeted lysines weredetermined after enzymatic cleavage followed by MALDI-TOF-MS, and a progressive targeting related to lysinesaccessibility was observed.
