Immunoelectrophoresis
5.Electroimmunodiffusion development of
precipitin lines can be speeded up by
electrically driving Ag and Ab
Counter immuno electro phoresis
Applications:
1. Slide agglutination ex. Identification of many
bacterial isolates.
2.Tube agglutination : standard method for
quantitative measurement of abs
Ex. For diagnosis of enteric fever, Brucellosis,
Typhus fevers etc.
For Brucellosis several serial dilutions should
be kept to prevent false negatives by
prozone phenomenon
presence of blocking abs hider agglutination
normal factor
In serum
Specific ab
(binder-
ligand)
3. Enzymes- EIAs
Immunoflorescence(Coons):is the property
of absorbing light rays of particular wave
length and emitting rays with different
wave length
Immunofluorescence is a technique
allowing the visualization of a specific
protein or antigen in cells or tissue
sections by binding a specific antibody
chemically conjugated with a fluorescent
dye such as fluorescein isothiocyanate
(FITC).
There are two major types of
immunofluorescence staining methods:
fluorescent microscope. Dyes: Fluoresein
isothiocyanate, lissamine rhodamine
DIRECT IF
INDIRECT IF
EIAs
Two types:EMIT(homologous), ELISA(heterologous)
ELISA: ags or abs are labelled with enzymes
Use of immunosorbent material specific forone of the
components of the reaction
Immunosorbent materials used: paticulate,solid phase,
microwells membranes or discs of polyacrilamide,paper
or plastic
Enzymes used are alkaline phosphatase,horse radish
peroxidase,galactosidase etc.
Chromogenic substances- paranitrophenyl ,Ophenylene-diamine dihydrochloride specific to enzymes
are added
Typical Data
Negative: No bands
present
Positive: Bands at
either p31 OR p24
AND bands present at
either gp160 OR gp120
Indeterminate: Bands
present, but pattern
does not meet criteria
for positivity
