Use of soluble and Staphylococcus aureus-immobilized second antibody compared in a radioimmunoassay for human alpha-fetoprotein.

چکیده
Staphylococcus aureus cells coated with rabbit anti-goat immunoglobulin G were compared with soluble second antibody in a radioimmunoassay for human serum alphafetoprotein. Recovery of primary immune complexes with use of the bacterial immunoadsorbant (a) allowed second-antibody incubation time to be shortened from 3 h to 20 min at 37 degrees C, (b) decreased by 80% the amount of second antibody required per assay, thereby significantly reducing assay costs, and (c) provided a convenient and reproducible method for separation of free and bound antigen. The ease of preparation and the uniformity and stability of the S. aureus second-antibody reagent are additional advantages that may be useful in other radioimmunoassay procedures.

Protein A-bearing formalinized heat-inactivated Staphylococcus aureus bind rabbit 125I-IgG with high capacity of IgG for antigen. The affinity of immobilized IgG for antigen is equal to the affinity of soluble antibody, and the capacity for antigen approximates the capacity of soluble antibody for antigen. 125I-IgG bound to high affinity sites on bacteria is not substantially displaced in the p...

Considering the ever increasing population and industrialization leading to developmental trend of humankind's life, we are hardly able to detect the toxins produced in food products using traditional techniques. In this technique, the production of molecular framework and polymer is done using meta acrylic acid monomers, which are formed via covalence connection between meta acrylic acid monom...
متن کاملDouble-antibody method and the protein-A-bearing Staphylococcus aureus cells method compared for separating bound and free antigen in radioimmunoassay.
We compared the protein-A-bearing Staphylococcus aureus immunoadsorbent to the double-antibody precipitation method for separating bound and free radiolabeled antigen in a radioimmunoassay. With human albumin (antigen) and rabbit anti-human albumin (antibody) as a model, our results indicate that formalin-fixed, heat-killed S. aureus cells could be substituted for the double-antibody precipitat...

We compared use of protein-A-containing Staphylococcus aureus bacteria with conventional ammonium sulfate precipitation and second-antibody methods of separating bound and free antigen in the radioimmunoassay of a hapten (digoxin) and protein (ferritin) in human sera. In each case, values obtained with the heat-killed, formalin-fixed bacteria correlated well with those found by established meth...
