Background:

Quantitative immunoelectrophoresis is a common laboratory technique for analyzing proteins.
Radioimmunoassay offers high sensitivity but involves radioactive materials.
There is a need for sensitive, non-radioactive methods for antigen quantification.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a method for increasing the sensitivity of quantitative immunoelectrophoresis.
To achieve sensitivity comparable to radioimmunoassay without using radioactivity.
To adapt existing immunoelectrophoresis techniques for enhanced antigen detection.

Main Methods:

A novel method involving electrophoretic elution of antigen was developed.
Samples ranging from 0.1-10 ml were used.
Antigen was eluted from samples placed in glass reservoirs on an electrophoresis plate.

Main Results:

The proposed method significantly increases the sensitivity of quantitative immunoelectrophoresis.
Sensitivity levels comparable to radioimmunoassay were achieved.
The technique allows for sensitive antigen detection from small sample volumes.

Conclusions:

Electrophoretic elution is an effective strategy to enhance quantitative immunoelectrophoresis sensitivity.
This method provides a viable, non-radioactive alternative to radioimmunoassay for antigen quantification.
The technique is applicable to small sample volumes, increasing its utility.
