Antibodies antigen solution preparation

Water-in-oil emulsions, consisting of a aqueous antigen solution dispersed in a mineral oil phase with the aid of lipophihc emulsifier, have been prepared to act as efficient immunological adjuvants (Figure 12.2) over a long period of time. It is suggested that in addition to the depot effect, the oil attracts mononuclear cells about the antigen that take part in the antibody production and... 

Here, we describe the design and preparation of antibody supramolecular complexes and their application to a highly sensitive detection method. The complex formation between antibodies (IgG) and multivalent antigens is investigated. When an antibody solution is mixed with divalent antigen, a linear or cyclic supramolecule forms [26-29]. With trivalent antigens, the antibody forms network structures. These supramolecular formations are utilized for the ampH-fication of detection signals on the biosensor techniques.
