چکیده

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for paraquat is described. The microtitration plate-based assay has a limit of detection of 10 pg per well, and was specific for paraquat and monoquat. Reversed affinity chromatography was used to refine the polyclonal antibody preparation and eliminate interfering antibodies. There were consequent and significant improvements in assay sensitivity and performance. The potential for application of the assay to a variety of matrices is discussed.

Measurement of Affinity Constant of Anti-human IgG Monoclonal Antibodies by an ELISA-based Method

Background: The affinity of an antibody to its antigen is a crucial parameter in its biological activity and performance of an immunoassay such as ELISA. Affinity of most IgG specific MAbs are often determined by methods which require labeling of either antigen or antibody, and are sometimes difficult to control, do not always lead to the expected signal and often result in immunological modifi...

Isolation and purification of HLA-DR antigen from Daudi cell line by immunoaffinity chromatography

Introduction: The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a group of cell surface proteins that are essential for recognizing foreign molecules in human and other mammals. The physiologic function of MHC molecules is the presentation of peptides to T cells. In this study, we evaluated the purification of a class II MHC molecule (HLA-DR) from a human Burkitt′s lymphoma cell line; Daudi...
