The evaluation of antibody avidity by elution with chaotropic agents is a frequently used approach in research and diagnostics. It provides important information on the functional relevance of antibodies. However, in the literature, there is a large heterogeneity in the experimental settings for the determination of this important parameter. Here, we demonstrate that antibody concentration and the choice of chaotropic agent are critical for the reliable estimation of antibody avidity.

Immunoprecipitation

Immunoprecipitation, or IP, is a widely used technique that employs protein-antibody interactions to isolate proteins or protein complexes in their native state for studying protein-protein interactions, quaternary structures, or supramolecular complexes. Various modifications of the technique, including chromatin IP, cross-linking IP, and fluorescence IP, are commonly used.
