Study of Interaction Force between Antigen and Antibody using Flow Chamber Method
1Institute of Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, # 15, Bei-si-huan West Rd., Beijing 100080, P.R.China; Graduate School of Chinese Academy of Sciences, # 19, Yu-quan Rd, Shi-jing- shan District, Beijing 100039, P.R. China.
A parallel plate flow chamber was used to study the interaction force between human IgG (immobilized on a chip surface as ligand) and goat anti-human IgG (immobilized on microspheres surface as receptor). First, it was demonstrated that the binding force between the microspheres and the chip surface came from the bio-specific interaction between the antigen and the antibody. Secondly, it was obtained that the critical shear rate to detach microspheres from the chip surface increases with the ligand surface concentration. Finally, two models to estimate the antigen-antibody bond strength considering bonds' positions were proposed and analyzed.
