[Purification and specificity control of labelled antibodies (author's transl)]
Abstract:
A review is given about causes of unspecific binding and the possibility of its prevention. Unspecific binding can be caused by: binding of proteins and glycoproteins on cells or tissues by non-covalent links, undesirable antigen-antibody-reactions, non-immune affinity reactions, changes of the charge of antibodies depending on the labelling procedure. A method for fractionation of labelled antibodies by using precipitation with protamine sulphate is described.

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.

Antibodies consist of four polypeptide chains: two identical heavy...

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.
