Fluorometric quantitation of fluorescein-coupled antibodies attached to the cell membrane.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method was devised which allows the measurement, by direct and indirect fluorescence assay, of the binding of fluorescein-coupled antibodies directed against cell-membrane antigens. The systems used were: (1) species-specific antigens, (2) genetically determined isoantigens, (3) virus-determined, tumor-specific antigens, and (4) membrane-bound immunoglobulin in a Burkitt cell line. Titration of antibodies gave straight lines in the log versus log scale, the slope of the titration curve probably being dependent on the density of antigen receptors on the cell surface.

Two groups of antibodies against mouse resident alveolar and peritoneal macrophages have been raised individually in rabbits by immunization with whole cell suspensions of lavaged alveolar and peritoneal macrophages. The whole antisera reacted positively with neutrophils and lymphocytes. However, upon extensive absorptions with these cells the activity became restricted to macrophages. The...

Processed antigen reacts selectively with lymphocytes bearing .appropriate surface immunoglobulin molecules resulting in the clonal proliferation of these cells, producing circulating immunoglobulin (humoral immunity) or non-circulating immunoglobulins (cellular immunity). High levels of circulating immunoglobulins (lgM & lgG) occur in protozoa and helminths infections. Reaginic antibodies a...

Hybrid antibodies possessing one binding site for the toxic lectin ricin and a companion site directed against human immunoglobulm were constructed in vitro. This bifunctional re agent specifically attached to human lymphocyte surface immunoglobulin determinants and, thus situated, could simulta neously capture ricin molecules or its toxic A chain. Attachment of these components to the cell was...

Background: Recent results have provided increasing evidence to support involvement of membrane damage in the mechanism of ionizing radiation induced killing of mammalian cells. These findings have stimulated renewed interest in evaluating the damage to membrane as a primary initiator in radiation-induced cell killing especially in apoptotic death. The present study was aimed to gain deeper ins...
