Probing Antigen-Antibody Interaction Using Fluorescence Coupled Capillary Electrophoresis
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this report, the use of fluorescence detection coupled capillary electrophoresis (CE-FL) allowed us to fully characterize the antigen-antibody interaction. CE-FL allowed separation of unbound quantum dots (QDs) and ligand bound QDs and also revealed an ordered assembly of biomolecules on QDs. Further, we observed FRET from QDs donor to DyLight acceptor, which were covalently conjugated with human IgG and goat anti-human IgG, respectively. The immunocomplex was formed and the mutual affinity of the antigen and antibody brought QDs and DyLight close enough to allow FRET to occur. This novel CE-based technique can be easily extended to other FRET systems based on QDs and may have potential application in the detection of antibodies.

In-capillary detection of fast antibody-peptide binding using fluorescence coupled capillary electrophoresis.
Herein, we report a technique for detecting the fast binding of antibody-peptide inside a capillary. Anti-HA was mixed and interacted with FAM-labeled HA tag (FAM-E4 ) inside the capillary. Fluorescence coupled capillary electrophoresis (CE-FL) was employed to measure and record the binding process. The efficiency of the antibody-peptide binding on in-capillary assays was found to be affected b...

BECKMAN Abstract Immunoassays are commonly used in bioresearch and biotechnology for detection and quantification of small and macro-molecules in biological fluids and other complex matrices. Traditionally, immunoassays have been performed using solid-phase techniques with detection via radioactivity (RIA) or activity of an enzyme coupled to either the antibody or antigen (EIA).(1) This bulleti...

In this report, fluorescence detection coupled capillary electrophoresis (CE-FL) was used to detect Protein A. Antibody was first labeled with Cy5 and then mixed with quantum dots (QDs) to form QDs-antibody bioprobe. Further, we observed fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) from QDs donor to Cy5 acceptor. The bioprobe was formed and brought QDs and Cy5 close enough to allow FRET to occ...

Antibody (Ab) labeled with alkaline phosphatase was separated and detected by a capillary electrophoresis system equipped with a laser induced fluorescence detection system. The combination of B/F separation and the LIF detection of the label enzyme is potentially useful for a highly sensitive detection of antigen (Ag). After B/F separation by capillary electrophoresis (CE), label enzymes catal...
