Title: Determination of antibody avidity at the cellular level by the plaque inhibition technique: effect of valence of the inhibitor. Author: Goidl EA, Birnbaum G, Siskind GW. Journal: J Immunol Methods; 1975; 8(1-2):47-5. PubMed ID: 50381. Abstract: Inhibition of plaque formation by multivalent and univalent ligands was compared as an assay of avidity of antibody produced by PFC. Multivalent ligands are much more effective as inhibitors and their use tends to impart an appearance of lack of heterogeneity and high avidity to the PFC populations being studied. It is thus probably generally advisable to employ univalent ligands in such studies.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
