چکیده

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 precipitation method. Ease of preparation and high adsorption capacity of protein-A-bearing S. aureus for most mammalian IgG make this method economical and time saving.

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 antibod...
