  • Title: Binding kinetics of monoclonal antibody using antigen-beta-galactosidase hybrid protein: application to measurement of peptide antigenicity.
    Author: Cho EW, Lee MK, Kim KL, Hahm KS.
    Journal: J Immunoassay; 1995 Nov; 16(4):349-63. PubMed ID: 8567983.
    Abstract:
    A simple method for determination of binding kinetics of a solid-phase antibody using antigen-beta-galactosidase hybrid protein was evaluated. To minimize conformational change of the antigen binding site of the antibody when directly binding to a microtiter plate, the microtiter plate was precoated with protein A. The binding and free antigen concentrations were directly obtained from the beta-galactosidase activity. This method can be used for analyses of the equilibrium dissociation constant (KD), and the association (Kass) and dissociation (Kdiss) rate constants. Peptide antigenicity was also analyzed by competitive ELISA using this method. Since both antigen-beta-galactosidase and the peptide used are localized in the fluid-phase, the proper affinity constant (KA) of the peptide can be estimated from the KD value of the antigen-beta-galactosidase-antibody interaction, and from the IC50 value of the peptide.
