Immunoassay using

In fact, most RIAs and many nonisotopic immunoassays use a competitive binding format (see Fig. 2). In this approach, the analyte in the sample to be measured competes with a known amount of added analyte that has been labeled with an indicator that binds to the immobilized antibody. After reaction, the free analyte—analyte-indicator solution is washed away from the soHd phase. The analyte-indicator on the soHd phase or remaining in the wash solution is then used to quantify the amount of analyte present in the sample as measured against a control assay using only an analyte-indicator. This is done by quantifying the analyte-indicator using the method appropriate for the assay, for example, enzyme activity, fluorescence, radioactivity, etc. 

Fig. 7. Fluorescence polarization (FP). (a) The formation of the large FITC—protein A—IgG complex which leads to a net increase in plane polarized light transmitted from the solution. Molecular weights of the protein A-FITC, IgG, and complex are ca 43,000, 150,000, and 343,000, respectively, (b) Detection of IgG by fluorescence polarization immunoassay using A, a laboratory fluorimeter where (O) represents AP = change in polarization, and B, a portable detection unit where (D) is —fiV = change in voltage (27). The field detector proved to be more sensitive than the fluorimeter.

Fig. 31 (A) Principle of a sandwich immunoassay using FDA particulate labels. The analyte is first immobilized by the capture antibody preadsorbed on the solid phase (a) and then exposed to antibody-coated microparticle labels (b). Every microparticle contains 108 FDA molecules. High signal amplification is achieved after solubilisation, release, and conversion of the precursor FDA into fluorescein molecules by the addition of DMSO and NaOH (c). (B) Calibration curves of IgG-FDA microcrystal labels with increasing surface coverage of detector antibody (a-d) compared with direct FITC-labeled detector antibody (e). The fluorescence signals increase with increasing IgG concentration. FDA microcrystals with a high IgG surface coverage (c,d) perform better than those with lower surface coverage (a,b).

FIA Fluorescence immunoassay uses a fluorescent tag on the antibody or antigen. Fluorescent labels absorb light of one wavelength and reemit it at another wavelength. The label is excited by UV and emits visible light. Common fluorescent labels are fluorescein, Texas red, and GFP (green fluorescent protein).
