ANTIGEN (Ag)
Any molecule that induces production of
antibodies when introduced in the body of an
animal is called antigen.
OR
any “thing”, foreign to the immune system. e.g.
bacteria, viruses, (or their parts), pollen, etc.
Protein molecule
Carbohydrate molecule. SYMBOL FOR ANTIGEN
Microorganisms
Allergens.
Viruses Etc.

ANTIBODY ( Ab)

immune system which help defend
against antigens

Enzymes Used in Elisa
Horseradish peroxidase (most commonly
used)
Alkaline Phosphatase
β-galactosidase
Lactoperoxidase
Tetra Methyl benzidine
In case of peroxidase, the substrate hydrogen peroxide is converted
into water and o2 in the presence of electron donors . (like
diaminobenzidine or 4-chloronaphthol which themselves oxidized in
the reaction).
Oxidation of diaminobenzidine produces dark brown color while that
of 4-chlorornaphthol yields purple color which is the basis of ELISA

ENZYME SUBSTRATE
Initially
the substrate should be colorless
After degradation by the enzyme it
should be strongly colored or fluorescent.

Competitive Elisa
Used to determine small molecule antigens.(T3,T4,progesterone etc.)
antibody coated microwell
serum antigen and labelled antigen added together--competition.
antibody-antigen-enzyme complex bound is inversely related to the concentration
of antigen present in the sample.
The bound enzyme conjugate reacts with the chromogenic substrate added to
produce a color reaction (blue to yellow color). .
Increased serum antigen results in reduced binding of the antigen-enzyme
conjugate with the capture antibody producing less enzyme activity and color
(yellow) formation

Importance of incubation step:-
During the test performance incubation
time and mentioned temperature is must
required For the proper binding between
antigen and antibody and also binding with
conjugate and color development of
substrate.
Importance of Washing :- For the removal
of any unbound Antibody/Antigen proper
washing and taping is required other wise
we get the incorrect result.
So incubation & washing is much important
for good results.

Radioimmunoassay
39
INTRODUCTION
40
To perform a radioimmunoassay, a known quantity of an antigen is
made radioactive, frequently by labeling it with gamma-
radioactive isotopes of iodine attached to tyrosine.
This causes the unlabeled (or "cold") antigen from the serum to compete
with the radiolabeled antigen ("hot") for antibody binding sites. As
theconcentration of "cold" antigen is increased, more of it binds to the
antibody, displacing the radiolabeled variant, and reducing the ratio of
antibody-bound radiolabeled antigen to free radiolabeled antigen. The
bound antigens are then separated from the unbound ones, and the
radioactivity of the free antigen remaining in the supernatant is measured
using a gamma counter.

Principle of Radioimmunoassay

Assay Procedure
Add known amounts of the test sample + labelled
antigen into the microtitre wells
Incubate allow the reaction to reach completion
Decant & wash contents of the well removes all
unbound antigens
Radioactivity remaining in the Microtitre wells
measured by a Counter [GM counter , Scintillation
counter etc]
Intensity of radioactivity is inversely correlated with
the conc of antigens in the test sample
Sensitive to very low conc of antigens

Advantages Disadvantages
◦ Flexibility ◦ Toxicity
◦ Sensitivity ◦ Shelf life
◦ Size ◦ Disposal costs
50
Advantages
Radioimmunoassay is widely-used
because of its great sensitivity.
Using antibodies of high affinity, it is
possible to detect a few picograms
(10−12 g) of hormone in the tube.
The greater the specificity of the
antiserum, the greater the specificity
of the assay
