Solid phase indirect radioimmunoassay: standardization and applications in viral serology. 1977

L L Yung, and W Loh, and V ter Meulen

In solid phase indirect radioimmunoassay (IRIA) antiviral immunoglobulins (Ig) bind specifically to the viral antigen fixed onto wells of microtiter plates. Radioactively labeled (125I) anti-Ig can be used to detect these antiviral antibodies. The sensitivity of the IRIA depends on the amount of antigen in the microtiter wells and the concentration of the 125I-labeled anti-Ig used. To standardize the assay, a method of antigen titration in the IRIA was devised, using parainfluenza type 1 viruses as antigens. The IRIA provides a means to titrate viral antigens with different biologic activities and antibodies against them. A binding inhibition test (BIT) based on IRIA allows the antigenic analysis of different virus strains, as is demonstrated for two closely related parainfluenza type 1 virus strains.

D010222 Parainfluenza Virus 1, Human A species of RESPIROVIRUS also called hemadsorption virus 2 (HA2), which causes laryngotracheitis in humans, especially children. Hemadsorption Virus 2,Human parainfluenza virus 1,Para-Influenza Virus Type 1,Parainfluenza Virus Type 1,Para Influenza Virus Type 1
D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation.
