abstract

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 modification of the molecules. moreover, direct solid phase binding assays pose some problems such as diffusion effects and difficulties in reaching equilibrium due to heterogeneous binding and co-operativity. objective: to employ a rapid and simple elisa-based method for measuring affinity constants of two pan-h-igg specific mabs (3f2d8 and 5f19g11) established in our laboratory. methods: the method is based on the effect of antibody affinity on the sigmoidal dose response curve. in this method, the binding of anti-human igg (anti-h-igg) mabs with their corresponding antigen was measured using serial concentrations of both antigen and antibody. the amount of antibody bound to the antigen on the plate is represented as a sigmoidal curve of od versus the logarithm of antibody concentration added to each well. results: based on the data obtained from this study, the affinity constants of 3f2d8 and 5f19g11 mabs were 0.74 x 10 8 mol –1 and 0.96 x 10 7 mol –1, respectively. conclusion: 3f2d8 mab with reasonably high affinity is suggested as a candidate for quantitative measurement of igg by elisa, whereas 5f19g11 mab could be considered as a suitable tool for immunoaffinity chromatography.

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...

Designing an ELISA Method for Measurement of Human IgG and IgM Antibodies against SARS-CoV-2

Background and purpose: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). In this study, an indirect ELISA method was designed to measure the human IgM and IgG antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. Materials and methods: Protein sequence of nucleocapsid antigen from SARS-CoV-2 was expressed in E. coli BL21 and then was...

Induction of IgG antibodies against GD3 ganglioside in rabbits by an anti-idiotypic monoclonal antibody.

Anti-idiotypic MAb were raised in syngeneic mice against a mouse MAb recognizing GD3 ganglioside (MAb R24). Two anti-idiotypic MAb, designated BEC2 and BEC3, recognized distinct determinants on MAb R24 that mapped near or within the GD3-binding site. New Zealand white rabbits, which express GD3 on normal tissues, were immunized with either BEC2, BEC3, or control MAb FLOPC-21. All rabbits develo...

B-cell display-based one-step method to generate chimeric human IgG monoclonal antibodies

The recent development of screening strategies based on the generation and display of large libraries of antibody fragments has allowed considerable advances for the in vitro isolation of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). We previously developed a technology referred to as the 'ADLib (Autonomously Diversifying Library) system', which allows the rapid screening and isolation in vitro of antigen-spec...

Affinity and epitope profiling of mouse anti-CD40 monoclonal antibodies.

The CD40-CD40L interaction plays a critical role in both humoral and cellular immune responses and interfering antibodies have been suggested as an effective approach for the treatment of lymphomas and autoimmune diseases. In this study we have profiled a panel of mouse antihuman CD40 monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs), regarding their CD40 binding affinity and epitope-specificity relative to the CD...
