Antibody anti-IgG

Another potential cause of immunological non-specificity involves alio- or auto-antibodies. Anti-IgG antibodies cannot discriminate between endogenous Ig and the primary antibodies from the same species or, frequently, from other species. This problem may also be overcome by the use of haptenated or biotinylated primary antibodies. 

Analyses were performed on serum samples containing a mixture of goat [gC, mouse IgG, human IgG. and chicken IgY antibodies (0-125 ng/mL). In this assay, the target analytes were also antibodies (IgG and gY). and so the capture and detection antibodies were antibodies toward antibodies (anti-IgG aqd anti-lgY). Analyte solutions were added to the sensor well, followed by a mixture of detection antibodies. To perform the electrochemical measurements, the biosensor was connected to a multichannel computer-controlled po-tentiostai via the edge contacts of the array, and current measurements were made on all eight working electrodes. 

A single crystal face can also be exposed to a stationary or flowing liquid solution, and the antibody anti-IgG immobilized on this face using a thin film of polyacrylamide gel [252]. The variation in frequency is then nnonitored as a function of time, and falls each time a solution containing IgG is injected. 

In order to determine IgG, the A protein is immobilized on the quartz crystal instead of the antibody anti-IgG [253]. In the presence of IgG, the resonance frequency of the crystal drops because of the fixation of IgG on the A protein. If the antibody anti-IgG is also added then this frequency drops further, which demonstrates that not all the fixation sites of IgG are saturated. Finally, rinsing with an acidic solution (pH 3) dissociates the IgG from the A protein, which returns the piezoelectric biosensor to a state where it is ready for a fresh IgG determination.

The use of protein A and protein G in immunohistochemistry is based on the same principle as that using secondary anti-IgG antibodies in the indirect two-step approach. In the first step, an antigen IgG complex is formed, which is then revealed in the second step by incubation with labeled protein A or protein G. 

Another antibody-based immunosorbent assay that can be used to determine HAT activity uses a secondary anti-IgG antibody, which is directed against the primary antibody and is labeled with the lanthanide Europium (Eu). After another washing step that removes all nonbound secondary antibody, one last incubation step is performed, which releases the lanthanide ion from the antibody, so that the final detection of time-resolved fluorescence (340/615 nm) caused by the released metal ion correlates with the acetylation level of the oligepeptide histone substrate, which is correlated with enzymatic activity. So far. 

Step 4. Add anti-STXOL serum (1 ul) and incubate for 30 minutes. Step 5. Add 60-120 ul of second antibody (anti-rabbit IgG Sigma Chemical Co.). The exact quantity must be optimized. Incubate for 60 minutes.

DNS-E was dansylglutamic acid used as internal standard. The intermediate species is considered to be due to the 1 1 complex. (B) A plot of the concentration of free ligand vs. the ratio of [HSA]/[anti-HSA] gives a sharp break at the stoichiometric point. (Reprinted with permission from Ref. 8.

The enzyme immunoassay (EIA) applies a single antibody to measure small molecules. The assay works on the principle that two antigens, enzyme-labeled and unlabeled analytes, compete for binding to the limited number of binding sites on the primary antibody, which is subsequently bound to the immobilized anti-IgG. The amount of labeled antigen bound is inversely proportional to the amount of unlabeled antigen (e.g., a cytokine) present in the sample (S7).

The sensors are constructed from Plexiglass cubes that have been drilled to accommodate a 600 /im optical fiber, polymer, and to provide a pathway for the analyte (Figure 2). The physical dimensions of the sensor are 15 mm by 12 mm by 10 mm. The volumes of the polymer reservoir and the reaction chamber are 100 /il and 40 jil, respectively. The lyophilized immunoreagents are incorporated into EVA at 1.5% (dryweight) for fluorescein-labeled anti-IgG antibody (F-Ab) and 8.0% Texas Red-labeled IgG (TR-Ag). Pieces of the polymers are then packed in the polymer reservoirs.
