  • The method of choice is isothermal titration calorimetry, in which a solution of the antibody (or antigen) is titrated with small aliquots of the antigen (or antibody) and the heat change accompanying the formation of the antigen-antibody complex is measured with a sensitivity as high as 0.
  • The method of choice is isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) in which a solution of the antibody (or antigen) is titrated with small aliquots of the antigen (or antibody) and the heat change accompanying the formation of the antigen-antibody complex is measured with a sensitivity as high as 0.
  • The antigen-antibody complex is made stable by non-covalent weak interactions (hydrogen bonding van der Waals forces, coulombic interactions and hydrophobic interactions), which occur between side chains or polypeptide backbones.
  • In ELISAs, the antigen antibody complex is exposed to the second antibody,which binds to the antibody portion of the complex (against which it was formed),creating a sandwich-type structure (Figure 1).
  • The antigen-antibody complex is present only in the wells that contain antibody.
