Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to European eel (Anguilla anguilla L., 1758) immunoglobulin (Ig) were produced, characterised and tested for applicability in a number of immuno(cyto)chemical assays. The selected mAbs, WEI 1 and WEI 2, were specifically reactive with Ig heavy and light chain, respectively. WEI 1 appeared to react with all or nearly all Ig molecules, B cells and plasma cells. WEI 2 was reactive with a subpopulation of those cells, indicating that European eel possesses at least two antigenically different light chain types. Both mAbs could be used for detection of antigen-specific antibodies in plasma by means of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

D007147 Immunoglobulin Light Chains Polypeptide chains, consisting of 211 to 217 amino acid residues and having a molecular weight of approximately 22 kDa. There are two major types of light chains, kappa and lambda. Two Ig light chains and two Ig heavy chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) make one immunoglobulin molecule.

D002846 Chromatography, Affinity A chromatographic technique that utilizes the ability of biological molecules, often ANTIBODIES, to bind to certain ligands specifically and reversibly. It is used in protein biochemistry.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.
