    Eight monoclonal anti-human IgG antibodies were fully characterized and evaluated as possible reagents in solid phase radioimmunoassay for quantitating allergen-specific IgG antibody. Four monoclonal antibodies (HG24D, HG2-14, HG2-18, and HG2-25) recognize CH2 domain of human IgG and bind to human IgG fixed to microtiter plate with high affinities. These monoclonal antibodies were more suitable than polyclonal rabbit anti-human IgG antibody in Phadebas RAST for honey bee venom-specific IgG antibody. Nonspecific binding was much lower, and the slopes of standard curves were much steeper. In contrast to polyclonal antibody, the standard curve was hardly influenced by human serum IgG in sample diluent. These advantages of monoclonal antibodies that recognize CH2 domain of human IgG made it possible to quantitate egg white- and Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus-specific IgG antibodies with use of allergen disks prepared for IgE RAST. This property allows a single system to be used for measurement of IgG and IgE antibodies against clinically relevant allergens.

    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.

    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.
