It has been shown that the theory of linear conformal quantum gravity must include a tensor field of rank-3 and mixed symmetry [Binegar et al., Phys. Rev. D 27, 2249 (1983)]. In this paper, we obtain the corresponding field equation in de Sitter space. Then, in order to relate this field with the symmetric tensor field of rank-2, K{sub {alpha}}{sub {beta}} related to graviton, we will define homomorphisms between them. Our main result is that if one insists K{sub {alpha}}{sub {beta}} to be a unitary irreducible representation of de Sitter and conformal groups, it must satisfy a field equation of order of 6, which is obtained.
