[The selection of system of detection for multiplex dot-immune analysis of antibodies]
Abstract:
The comparative evaluation was carried out concerning systems of detection using conjugates on the basis of peroxidase, alkaline phosphatase, colloid gold and system of amplification “Super-CARD" for multiplex dot-immune assay of antibodies. It is established that sensitivity of system of detection with colloid gold is approximately 8 times higher than with amplification “SuperCARD"; 30 times higher than with conjugate of alkaline phosphatase and 250 times higher than with peroxidase conjugate. The immunesols of gold maintain limit of detection of human IgG 10 pg with dynamic range of signal alteration from 5 ng to10 pg overlapping the range of concentrations of specific IgG in case of typical natural immune response. The most specific results provides conjugate of colloid gold with monoclonal antibodies to human IgG.

Antibody Structure
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 Dot Product
Dot Product
In engineering, the dot product of any two vectors is the product of the magnitudes of the vectors and the cosine of the angle between them. It is denoted by a dot symbol between the two vectors.
Consider a vehicle pulling an object along the ground using a rope. If the rope makes an angle with the horizontal axis, the work done can be calculated using the dot product of the force applied and the object's displacement.
