Comparison of chemical and immunological characteristics of some commercially obtainable conjugates
Abstract:
A method is suggested for the chemical and immunological characterization of commercially obtainable conjugates. 19 antihuman IgG; IgA; IgM and beta1A-beta1C conjugates of various origine were compared by means of the method. The most surprising characteristics of the samples were the great differences in that quality. Experiments carried out with conjugates of poor quality will produce doubtful or contradictory results. Reliable characterization of conjugates is an essential and important part of immunofluorescent examination.

Conjugated Proteins
Nucleoproteins are protein complexes that contain nucleic acids, categorized as deoxyribonucleoproteins (DNPs) or ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) respectively. The nucleosome is a typical example of a DNP where nuclear DNA is associated with histone proteins. The major antigen for the Covid-19 virus SARS-CoV is an RNP that is critical...
Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay
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.
