Tritium radiolabeling of antibodies to high specific activity with N-succinimidyl [2,3-3H] propionate: use in detecting monoclonal antibodies. 1981

U Kummer, and E Thiel, and I Doxiadis, and M Eulitz, and S Sladoljev, and S Thierfelder

A simple method has been established for tritium labeling immunoglobulins. This label avoids certain disadvantages of 125iodine such as high radiation hazard and requirement for frequent labeling owing to the short half-life of this isotope. High specific activities (range 1.8-9.0 cpm/mu g protein) were obtained with no loss of functional activity as demonstrated by passive hemagglutination. The labeled conjugate is especially suitable for detection of activity in hybridoma supernatants by indirect binding assay. Adapted to microtiter plates, the method is suitable for large numbers of samples, e.g. up to 800 supernatants may be examined daily. The utility and advantages of the binding assay with respect to reproducibility, sensitivity, binding kinetics, easy and rapid performance are described.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007136 Immunoglobulins Multi-subunit proteins which function in IMMUNITY. They are produced by B LYMPHOCYTES from the IMMUNOGLOBULIN GENES. They are comprised of two heavy (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) and two light chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) with additional ancillary polypeptide chains depending on their isoforms. The variety of isoforms include monomeric or polymeric forms, and transmembrane forms (B-CELL ANTIGEN RECEPTORS) or secreted forms (ANTIBODIES). They are divided by the amino acid sequence of their heavy chains into five classes (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A; IMMUNOGLOBULIN D; IMMUNOGLOBULIN E; IMMUNOGLOBULIN G; IMMUNOGLOBULIN M) and various subclasses.

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. Radioimmunoassays
D003432 Cross-Linking Reagents Reagents with two reactive groups, usually at opposite ends of the molecule, that are capable of reacting with and thereby forming bridges between side chains of amino acids in proteins; the locations of naturally reactive areas within proteins can thereby be identified; may also be used for other macromolecules, like glycoproteins, nucleic acids, or other.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D000918 Antibody Specificity The property of antibodies which enables them to react with some ANTIGENIC DETERMINANTS and not with others. Specificity is dependent on chemical composition, physical forces, and molecular structure at the binding site. Antibody Specificities,Specificities, Antibody,Specificity, Antibody
D001666 Binding Sites, Antibody Local surface sites on antibodies which react with antigen determinant sites on antigens (EPITOPES.) They are formed from parts of the variable regions of FAB FRAGMENTS. Antibody Binding Sites,Paratopes,Antibody Binding Site,Binding Site, Antibody,Paratope
