The increasing attention directed to the adverse effects of variation in sample preparation upon the quality of IHC staining of FFPE tissues has served to reinforce the importance of determining the optimal AR method for each antibody/detection system/antigen to achieve optimal retrieval and optimal staining of tissues that may have been processed and stored in different and unknown ways (see Chapter 5 for details). Practically, in considering... 

Biochips can be used for either measuring differential expression between two populations or for testing for the presence of a DNA sequence (resequencing). Protein chips have been applied in expression profiling and antibody detection, binding specificities of a protein expression library and protein-protein interactions.

Optical imaging methods for hypoxia are not yet applicable in vivo but immunohistochemical antibody detection of nitroimi-dazoles (e.g. pimonidazole) has been used extensively for in vitro work and biopsy tissue staining (89). 

The performance of a biotreatment system ultimately depends on optimization of the activity of microbes and the ability to control the process parameters of the treatment system [157]. In this respect, the ability to monitor gene copy numbers and gene expression is highly useful for real time optimization of the efficiency of a biotreatment system. Advanced molecular techniques as well as low cost methods (e.g., antibody detection of enzymes based on color reaction strips fluorescence i.e., GFP marked organisms with UV light detection) can also be applied to monitor the microbial community structure, persistence of the added bacteria, and their interactions with indigenous populations. 

Immunoassay is the sterile measurement of a drug molecule as an antigen using a specific antibody. Detection is performed by UV light absorption, radioactivity, or fluorescence polarization.

Western blot and immunohistochemical detection are the two most widely used techniques to confirm the expression of a given P450 isoform in isolated brain regions or thin slices. Antibodies detect actual protein,... 

It is apparent that signal amplification provides increased sensitivity over direct labeling. This is especially true for fluorescent-based assays. One of the most sensitive signal detection technologies is the immunoRCA (Schweitzer et al., 2000). Rolling circle amplificahon (RCA) is combined with antibody detection. RCA involves the amplification of circularized oligonuceotide probes under isothermal conditions by DNA polymerase (Lizardi et al., 1998). With immunoRCA, the 5 primer is attached to the reporter antibody. Initiation of the amplification starts when circular DNA template binds to the attached primer. 

Apart from antibodies detected by (a) the schizont-infected red cell agglutination test, (b) the agglutination of sporozoites, (c) complement fixation, (d) passive hemagglutination and by the direct and indirect immunofluorescent methods [for review, see reference (V4)], malarial antibodies have also been detected by malarial antigens prepared from heavily infected human placenta, infected human brain, and short-term in vivo cultures of cells from heavily parasitized subjects (Wll) (see Tables 7 and 8).

A final caveat in the RPAIA field that limits biomarker discovery as well as other uses in drug development is the somewhat limited panel of antibodies that have been validated to date for the platform. Many antibodies that work on western blots have the potential to work with RPMAs as well, because in both platforms proteins are in a denatured state. However, because the molecular weight of analytes detected by RPMA cannot be known, it is imperative to demonstrate the specificity of antibodies, usually measured by the absence of nonspecific reactive bands on western blots developed under similar blocking conditions. A second requirement for antibody validation is proof of principle that an antibody detects quantitative changes in the expected target on an... 

Viral structural proteins expressed by baculovirus infected insect cells assemble into multimeric structures that resemble viral core-like particles and virus-like particles (CLPs and VLPs, respectively). This presentation has brought the attention of researchers for the potential use of these structures as safe immunological reagents for virus or antibody detection in enzyme immuno assays, as vaccines, and more recently, as gene delivering systems for gene therapy [9]. 

However, not all antibody detected by ELISA corresponds to the antibody molecule that blocks the biological activity or active sites of the therapeutic protein. These neutralizing (blocking) antibodies are only a small fraction of the binding antibody population. Different cell- and receptor-based neutralizing antibody assays are developed for different protein drugs.
