Abstract: | Complex antigenic mixtures were separated on polyacrylamide gels in the presence of SDS. After electrophoresis, the gels were cut into equal fractions. Antigens were eluted from the fractions and could be bound to different solid phases on which a conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was performed. Antibody binding fractions could then be related with the bands of a stained gel run in parallel. This technique proved to be fast and sensitive. Antigens present in nanogram amounts in individual fractions were sufficient for the detection of specific antibody. We describe here the application of this technique to antibodies specific of parasite, viral, bacterial and mycoplasmal antigens and to antibodies against hormones and a muscle protein. |
