[A compound containing keyhole-limpet hemocyanin (KLH) conjugated with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) with potential immunostimulating activity. Vaccination with KLH-FITC may elicit an immune response against the fluorescein dye and may lead to production of anti-fluorescein IgG antibodies. Keyhole limpet hemocyanin, a natural protein isolated from the marine mollusk keyhole limpet, is an immunostimulant carrier protein that may increase the immune response against fluorescein. ( NCI )]
