چکیده

A modified ELISA procedure is described which permits selective detection of monoclonal antibodies reactive with the native antigen. The essence of the method is the use of immobilization methods that do not result in denaturation of the antigen during adsorption to the microtiter plates. This was accomplished by using polyclonal antibodies, adsorbed to the wells of the microtiter plate, as the immobilizing agent.

Production and Characterization of Monoclonal Antibodies Recognizing a Common 57-kDa Antigen of Leishmania Species

Background: The therapy of leishmania infection is difficult and each year 1.5 million new cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis and 500,000 new cases of visceral leishmaniasis are estimated, therefore, there is a need for an effective vaccine. Monoclonal antibody (mAb) is one of the suitable methods for isolation and purification of leishmania antigens. In this report, we produced several mAb aga...

Measurement of Affinity Constant of Anti-human IgG Monoclonal Antibodies by an ELISA-based Method

Background: The affinity of an antibody to its antigen is a crucial parameter in its biological activity and performance of an immunoassay such as ELISA. Affinity of most IgG specific MAbs are often determined by methods which require labeling of either antigen or antibody, and are sometimes difficult to control, do not always lead to the expected signal and often result in immunological modifi...

Production and Characterization of Murine Monoclonal Antibodies Recognizing Conformational and Linear Epitopes Localized on Human IgA2 Molecules

Background: There are two subclasses of human IgA (IgA1 and IgA2) that differ in antigenic properties and in chemical composition. The constant domains of α1 and α2 heavy chains have >95% sequence homology though major structural differences exist in the hinge region. Quantitation of IgA subclass levels depends on the availability of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific for conserved conformat...
