Antibody Structure01:10

Antibody Structure

66.7K
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.
The Y-Shaped Structure of Antibodies Consists of Four Polypeptide Chains
Antibodies consist of four polypeptide chains: two identical heavy...

Immunocytochemistry and Immunohistochemistry

14.5K
Immunocytochemistry (ICC) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) are techniques that use antibodies to check for specific proteins or antigens in a sample. The technique was first published by Albert Coons in 1941 to detect the presence of pneumococcal antigen in tissue sections from mice infected with Pneumococcus. Immunocytochemistry helps localization of proteins or antigens in individual cells like blood cells, stem cells, etc., while immunohistochemistry does the same for tissue samples.

Drug Toxicity: Allergic Reactions

80
Drug-related allergies are immune-mediated responses triggered by the administration of pharmacological agents. These hypersensitivity reactions are classified based on the immune mechanisms involved. The four primary types—Type I, II, III, and IV—are mediated by different immunological pathways and exhibit distinct clinical manifestations.Type I Hypersensitivity/ IgE-Mediated Reactions: Immunoglobulin E (IgE) immediately mediates Type I hypersensitivity reactions. Upon initial...

Hypersensitivities

8.0K
Hypersensitivity, also known as a hypersensitivity reaction or allergic reaction, is a condition where the body's immune system reacts abnormally to a foreign substance. Such substances, that cause hypersensitivity are referred to as an allergen, could be something typically harmless to most people, like pollen or certain foods.
Types of Hypersensitivities
Hypersensitivity reactions are categorized into four types: Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, and Type 4. Each type has a distinct mechanism...

Antigens Involved in Adaptive Immunity01:26

Antigens Involved in Adaptive Immunity

1.8K
An antigen is any substance the immune system identifies as foreign and potentially harmful to the body, prompting an immune response. Antigens have two functional properties: immunogenicity and reactivity. Immunogenicity is the ability of an antigen to stimulate a specific immune response. At the same time, reactivity describes the antigen's ability to react with the cells and antibodies produced in response to it.
Complete Antigens
Complete antigens possess both immunogenicity and...

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Allergy Research
  • Assay Development

Background:

  • Standardized assays for human IgG subclass antibody responses to allergens are lacking.
  • This study aimed to develop and evaluate quantitative immunoassays for IgG1, IgG2, and IgG3.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate novel quantitative immunoassays for human IgG1, IgG2, and IgG3.
  • To assess the utility of these assays in characterizing antibody responses to various allergens.

Main Methods:

  • Development of enzyme conjugates and calibrators using monoclonal antibodies and myeloma paraproteins.
  • Utilized ImmunoCAP® technology and the Phadia® 100 instrument for assay standardization.
  • Assays were characterized and applied in preliminary studies with various allergens.

Main Results:

  • New assays demonstrated low limits of quantitation (<0.04 mgA/L for IgG3) and coefficients of variation <20%.
  • Minor cross-reactivity observed for IgG1 assay; IgG2 assay adjusted for allotype bias.
  • Preliminary studies showed distinct IgG subclass responses to allergens like beta-lactoglobulin, house dust mite, and venom.

Conclusions:

  • Developed quantitative immunoassays for human IgG subclasses are valuable research tools.
  • Standardized approach facilitates characterization of antibody profiles and comparison of results.
  • Enables improved understanding of allergic immune responses.
