چکیده

Immunoblotting (western blotting) is a rapid and sensitive assay for the detection and characterization of proteins that works by exploiting the specificity inherent in antigen-antibody recognition. It involves the solubilization and electrophoretic separation of proteins, glycoproteins, or lipopolysaccharides by gel electrophoresis, followed by quantitative transfer and irreversible binding to nitrocellulose, PVDF, or nylon. The immunoblotting technique has been useful in identifying specific antigens recognized by polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies and is highly sensitive (1 ng of antigen can be detected). This unit provides protocols for protein separation, blotting proteins onto membranes, immunoprobing, and visualization using chromogenic or chemiluminescent substrates.

Immunoblot Assay in Determination of Serum Antibody Profile of Helicobacter Pylori Infection

A high prevalence of antibody to cag A has been observed in H. pylori seropositive patients (HP+) living in developed countries. This is felt to be correlated with the development of serious sequelae of this infection.  We examined the sero-prevalence of antibody to cag A and other specific H. pylori antigens in symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals living in Kashan.Sera from 37 patients who...

Rhizobium strain identification and quantification in commercial inoculants by immunoblot analysis.

An immunoblot procedure for the strain-specific quantitative analysis of commercial Rhizobium inoculants was developed. The technique greatly reduced the time required for inoculant analysis. Correlation between immunoblot analysis and traditional plant nodule grow-out most-probable-number techniques was r = 0.90 for 16 commercial alfalfa inoculants tested.

Quantitative dot blot analysis (QDB), a versatile high throughput immunoblot method

Lacking access to an affordable method of high throughput immunoblot analysis for daily use remains a big challenge for scientists worldwide. We proposed here Quantitative Dot Blot analysis (QDB) to meet this demand. With the defined linear range, QDB analysis fundamentally transforms traditional immunoblot method into a true quantitative assay. Its convenience in analyzing large number of samp...

Development and comparative evaluation of immunoblot assays for detecting autoantibodies to Scl 70 and Jo 1 antigens in serum.

We developed rapid 24-h immunoblot assays for detecting autoantibodies to Scl 70 and Jo 1 antigens in serum. In comparative studies, we evaluated the analytical sensitivity of the immunoblot assays and commercial immunodiffusion assays for anti-Scl 70 and anti-Jo 1 autoantibodies with the use of positive control sera, and compared the frequencies of positive and negative results in a group of 1...

Detection of immunoglobulins G and A to Aspergillus fumigatus by immunoblot analysis for monitoring Aspergillus-induced lung diseases.

The aim of the study was to investigate whether patients with Aspergillus-induced lung disease can be monitored by immunoblot analysis to detect antibodies to Aspergillus fumigatus (Af). Immunoblotting was performed by incubating 57 longitudinally collected sera from 13 patients on nitrocellulose sheets, blotted with Af antigen, separated by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electropho...

Performance of immunoblotting in diagnosis of visceral Leishmaniasis in human immunodeficiency virus-Leishmania sp.-coinfected patients.

This study evaluated the performance of immunoblotting with Leishmania infantum soluble antigens for the diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected and immunocompetent patients and assessed the humoral responses of patients coinfected with HIV and Leishmania. In this work, the results of the immunoblot analysis were compared to those of parasitological ex...
