The specificity of six peroxidase-labelled anti-albumin monoclonal antibodies was studied by allowing them to react with albumin-derived fragments of known structure comprising the whole albumin molecule. The epitopes corresponding to these antibodies were located on defined regions of the albumin molecule extending from the N to the C-terminal ends. These antibodies have been used for investigating by ELISA the conformational alterations of albumin molecule brought about by the N-B transition in twelve individual sera. The results do not show any significant differences between the sera. The N-B transition involves essentially the N-terminal portion of the albumin molecule. There also exists as modification of the C-terminal region which is however much less pronounced than the one in the N-terminal region. In addition, it is not observed when using isolated albumin.

Antibody Structure

Overview
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are essential players of the adaptive immune system. These antigen-binding proteins are produced by B cells and make up 20 percent of the total blood plasma by weight. In mammals, antibodies fall into five different classes, which each elicits a different biological response upon antigen binding.

Western Blotting01:15

Western Blotting

Western blotting is an analytical technique for protein identification. It has various applications in immunology and medicine, including detecting diseases like bovine spongiform encephalopathy, mad cow disease, and human and feline immunodeficiency virus from biological samples.
The technique begins with separating proteins from the sample using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), followed by protein transfer, immunoblotting, and finally, protein detection.
Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay01:33

Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay

In 1971, Peter Perlman and Eva Engvall developed an Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA or EIA). ELISA differs from western blot in that the assays are conducted in microtiter plates or in vivo rather than on an absorbent membrane.
There are many different types of ELISAs, but they all involve an antibody molecule whose constant region binds an enzyme, leaving the variable region free to bind its specific antigen.  Enzyme-substrate reaction allows the antigen to be visualized or quantified.
