Changing Cross-Reactivity for Different Immunoassays Using the Same Antibodies: Theoretical Description and Experimental Confirmation

Idiotypic cross-reactivity between antibodies of different specificities

Cross-idiotypic specificity has been demonstrated between antibody populations of different specificities using antibodies directed toward human sickle cell hemoglobin (HbS). A site-specific antibody directed toward the beta6-position of HbS, anti-Val, was used to elicit an anti-idiotypic response in rabbits. Using this anti-idiotypic serum, idiotypic cross-reactivity was demonstrated between a...

development of different optical methods for determination of glucose using cadmium telluride quantum dots and silver nanoparticles

a simple, rapid and low-cost scanner spectroscopy method for the glucose determination by utilizing glucose oxidase and cdte/tga quantum dots as chromoionophore has been described. the detection was based on the combination of the glucose enzymatic reaction and the quenching effect of h2o2 on the cdte quantum dots (qds) photoluminescence.in this study glucose was determined by utilizing glucose...

Variability in Telavancin Cross - Reactivity 1 Among Vancomycin Immunoassays

24 Telavancin is a semisynthetic lipoglycopeptide with a dual mechanism of action against 25 Gram-positive pathogens. Two brief reports have suggested potential cross-reactivity of 26 telavancin with the vancomycin particle-enhanced turbidometric immunoassay (PETIA). 27 The purpose of this study was to evaluate several commercially available vancomycin 28 immunoassays (fluorescence polarization...
