Enzymes antibodies

Sepharose (e.g. Sepharose CL and Bio-Gel A) is a bead form of agarose gel which is useful for the fractionation of high molecular weight substances, for molecular weight determinations of large molecules (molecular weight > 5000), and for the immobilisation of enzymes, antibodies, hormones and receptors usually for affinity chromatography applications.

Pool the fractions containing antibody and immediately mix with an amount of maleimide-activated enzyme to obtain the desired molar ratio of antibody-to-enzyme in the conjugate. Use of a 4 1 (enzyme antibody) to 15 1 molar ratio in the conjugation reaction usually results in high-activity conjugates suitable for use in many enzyme-linked immunoassay procedures. 

The following protocol should be compared to the method described for SATA thiolation in Chapter 1, Section 4.1. Although the procedures are slightly dissimilar, the differences indicate the flexibility inherent in the chemistry. For convenience, the buffer composition indicated here was chosen to be consistent throughout this section on enzyme-antibody conjugation using SMCC. Other buffers and alternate protocols can be found in the literature. 

Mix the antibody solution with the enzyme solution at a ratio of 1 1 (v/v). Since an equal mass of antibody and enzyme is present in the final solution, this will result in a 3.75 molar excess of HRP over the amount of IgG. For conjugates consisting of greater enzyme-to-antibody ratios, proportionally increase the amount of enzyme solution as required. Typically, molar ratios of 4 1 to 15 1 (enzyme antibody) give acceptable conjugates useful in a variety of ETISA techniques. 

Despite the obvious disadvantages of glutaraldehyde-mediated conjugation, the crosslinker continues to be used to form enzyme-antibody complexes and in other applications. Many diagnostic tests still utilize antibody-enzyme conjugates prepared through glutaraldehyde...

The PAP method was pioneered by Sternberger in 1979 (1). The method uses an immunological sandwich amplification and the enzyme peroxidase to effect a signal. The unique feature of this procedure is the enzyme/antibody solution, the PAP immune complex. The horseradish peroxidase enzyme, itself an immunogenic protein, is used to inoculate a given species, and a polyclonal immune response is generated against the enzyme. This antiserum is harvested and placed in solution with the enzyme so that immune complexes form that... 

Instead of dialysis or gel filtration, an affinity chromatography on Concanavalin A Sepharose (cf. Protocol 3.6.2.4) is recommended, because on the one hand, no conjugated antibody is removed, and on the other hand, the sugar used for elution stabilizes the enzyme-antibody conjugate in solution. 

Stereoselective catalysis using biocatalysts (e.g. enzymes) and also of rationally designed small chiral molecules, deals essentially with the same principle the spatial and selective docking of guest molecules to a chiral host molecule to form complementary interactions to form reversible transient molecule associates (see the specific sections in this volume). The enantiomeric excess of a certain reaction and hence the result will be determined by the degree of chiral discrimination. Along the same theoretical lines the concepts of protein (enzyme, antibody, etc.) mimicks via imprinted" synthetic polymers should be mentioned and will be discussed further.
