Immunoassay for Beginners Immunoassays use reagents to generate a signal from minute amounts of target analyte in a sample.
Basic principle of IA Clip / analyte / Antigen Reagents : (1) Magnet / Binder / Antibody (2) A signal from the captured material / Signal generator Immunoassays derive their unique specificity, sensitivity, and flexibility from three important properties of antibodies: Their ability to bind to an extremely wide range of natural and man-made chemicals, biomolecules, cells, and viruses. Exceptional specificity for the substance to which each antibody binds. The strength of the binding between an antibody and its target.
Immunoassay Based on Specific Interaction between Ag (analyte) and Ab (binding Protein, Binder) cf. hand in glove
Simplicity Sensitivity Specificity Based on Specific Interaction between Ag (analyte) and Ab (binding Protein, Binder) Immune Reaction Ag + Ab ↔ Ag / Ab Binding Reaction Analyte + Binding Protein ↔ Analyte / Binding protein Label Radioisotope ; 125I, 14C Enzyme ; HRP, MDH, G6PDH Fluorophore ; fluorescein Luminescent species ; luminol, AEQ Particle ; latex Metal ion ; Au3+ ng ~pg range / upto atto M IA Simplicity Specificity Sensitivity

Exponential growth of IA In the range of applications In the number of novel and ingenious assay designs
Antigen (analyte) For the functional sense, Antigen : complete -------- Immunogen incomplete ------- hapten Immunogen : immunogenicity + specificity hapten : specificity Immunogenicity : the ability to induce an immune response specificity : the ability to react with these lymphocytes and antibody
Antigenic determinants ( = epitope ) 1) Direct Immunogen 2) Indirect Immunogen ( = hapten ) carrier protein : BSA (Bovine Serum Albumin) KLH (Keyhloe limpet hemocyanin) OVA (ovalbumin) Antigenic determinants ( = epitope ) large molecule : Immunometric assay small molecule : Competitive assay
Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) * 583 aa - Mw ; 66,463 Da * 104 reactive groups - ε-amino group of lysine residues (59) - α-amono group (1) - hydroxyphenyl groups of tyrosine residues (21) - sulphydryl groups of cystine residues (6) - imidazole groups of histidine residues (7)
Antigenic determinants ( = epitope ) 항체와 반응할 수 있는 site Ag surface 에 존재 한 Ag 에 여러 종류의 epitope 가 가능 ( multivalent / multispecific ) large molecule : Immunometric assay small molecule : Competitive assay
Antibody (Binder, Binding Protein) PAb : polyclonal Ab MAb : monoclonal Ab Mw = 150,000 Da 25,000 Da/ each Paratope ( = Ab binding site )
- The variable domains each have three hypervariable loops (CDRs) which bind to antigen. CDR : complementarity-determining regions 1 domain : ~107 aa
Fragmentation of IgG
Antibody fragments
Ag / Ab reaction IAs involve a binding reaction between an analyte and at least one Ab This reaction takes from a few seconds to many hours to achieve equilibrium depending on a range of different factors ex) pH, ionic strength, temperature, material matrix
Law of Mass action affinity : single binding interaction affinity : single binding interaction avidity : the summation of all of the individual interactions
development of analytical kit immunoaffinity purification KA ( M-1 ) Specificity Affinity PAb usually high affinity 1010-12 ↓ ↑ low affinity 105 MAb 106-9 Thus, High affinity Ab development of analytical kit Low affinity Ab immunoaffinity purification
