TY - JOUR. T1 - De novo immune complex deposition in kidney allografts. T2 - a series of 32 patients. AU - Lloyd, Isaac E.. AU - Ahmed, Faris. AU - Revelo, Monica P.. AU - Khalighi, Mazdak. PY - 2018/1/1. Y1 - 2018/1/1. N2 - Immune complex deposition in kidney allografts can include both recurrent and de novo processes. Recurrent glomerulonephritis is a well-recognized phenomenon and has been shown to be a common cause of allograft failure. De novo immune complex-mediated disease remains relatively poorly characterized, likely owing to the less frequent use of immunofluorescence and electron microscopy in the transplant setting. We performed a retrospective review of kidney allograft biopsies showing glomerular immune complex deposition. Cases with de novo deposits were identified and further organized into two groups depending on whether the immune complex deposition could be clinically and/or histologically classified. Thirty-two patients with de novo immune complex deposition were identified ...

Antibodies for proteins involved in positive regulation of immune complex clearance by monocytes and macrophages pathways, according to their Panther/Gene Ontology Classification
An immune complex, sometimes called an antigen-antibody complex, is a molecule formed from the integral binding of an antibody to a soluble antigen.[1] The bound antigen and antibody act as a unitary object, effectively an antigen of its own with a specific epitope. After an antigen-antibody reaction, the immune complexes can be subject to any of a number of responses, including complement deposition, opsonization,[2] phagocytosis, or processing by proteases. Red blood cells carrying CR1-receptors on their surface may bind C3b-coated immune complexes and transport them to phagocytes, mostly in liver and spleen, and return to the general circulation.. Immune complexes may themselves cause illness when they are deposited in organs, for example, in certain forms of vasculitis. This is the third form of hypersensitivity in the Gell-Coombs classification, called type III hypersensitivity.[3] Such hypersensitivity progressing to disease states produces the immune complex diseases.. Immune complex ...

The effect of insulin administration on immune complex (IC) formation in diabetic patients was analysed in vivo and in vitro. Firstly, serial studies of IC status were performed over a mean period of 18 months in 44 diabetic patients, 37 of whom were receiving standard insulin therapy. Thirty patients changed to monocomponent (MC) insulin while seven commenced MC insulin after tablet failure. The other seven patients remained on standard insulin throughout the study. Secondly, nine patients had serial measurements of IC over a 6-8 h period following a routine morning dose of MC insulin; eight control subjects were similarly studied. The insulin content of IC in insulin treated patients was assessed in vitro by examining, (a) the selective precipitation of antibody bound insulin by 3% polyethylene glycol (PEG) and (b) the insulin specificity of antisera raised against PEG precipitates of IC positive sera. The longitudinal study of circulating IC showed no significant changes apart from an isolated fall

When antigens enter into the body, normally this antigen will be recognized by the antibody that has been generated before during first exposure. The antibody binds to the soluble antigen forming the antibody-antigen complexes in the circulation in order to clear up all of the pathogens. According to Levinson (n.d), the reticuloendothelial system or macrophages system and other phagocytes have the ability to remove the immune antibody-antigen complexes very effectively in a normal condition. However, in type III hypersensitivity, these systems are not capable to remove these complexes. As a result, this antigen-antibody complexes tends to deposit on the wall of the blood vessels. Some of the immune complex deposition on the blood vessel will activate the complement protein such as C1, C4, C3 and C5-9 resulting membrane attack complex, leukocytes chemotaxis, leukocytes polymorphism and phagocytosis as well as inflammation. So that, in classical pathway C1 binds to the antigen-antibody complex and ...
Objective To review the global ramifications of oxidized LDL (oxLDL) and oxLDL-containing defense complexes (oxLDL-IC) about gene manifestation in human being monocytic cells also to identify differentially expressed genes associated with swelling and survival. connected with development of auto-antibodies in human beings (17,18) and is optimally recognized by the antibody used to form oxLDL-IC (see next section). The endotoxin level in oxLDL preparations was measured using an endotoxin assay kit (Etoxate, Sigma), and found to be below the lower limit of detection (0.015 U/ml). Preparation of Insoluble Immune Complexes Soluble immune complexes stimulate macrophages only if carried by red blood cells or immobilized. Immobilization of oxLDL-IC by attachment to matrix proteins is likely to occur for 5 min. Total RNA was isolated using Trizol extraction (Invitrogen) and purified using RNeasy Mini kit (Qiagen). RNA quality was assured by using Agilent Bioanalyzer and RNA 6000 nano chip. Total RNA (8 ...
Covalently, cross-linked immune complexes were prepared with multivalent 2-nitro-4-azidophenyl X human serum albumin (NAP X HSA) and antibodies to NAP at five times antigen excess. After purification with gel filtration, affinity chromatography with antigen-agarose column, and addition of the hapten, 9.5% of the antibodies dissociated from the complexes by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis. After injection of these cross-linked immune complexes into mice, glomeruli stained for the complexes by immunofluorescence microscopy for only a few hours and electron-dense deposits were not detected. In contrast, when the same immune complexes with comparable lattice but without covalent cross-linking were administered to a second group of mice, the initial deposition by immunofluorescence was comparable and then increased to extensive deposits that persisted to 96 h. In this second group of mice extensive electron-dense deposits evolved. These observations supported the ...

The classical pathway begins with the formation of antigen-antibody complex (immune complex). When an antigen enters the body, the antibody (IgM/IgG) binds to it. This induces conformational changes in the Fc portion of the antibody which exposes a binding site for C1 protein. Hence, the antibody activates the complement system only when bound to an antigen.. C1 is a large, multimeric, protein complex composed of one molecule of C1q and two molecules each of C1r and C1s subunits. C1q binds to the antigen bound antibody (Fc portion). C1r and C1s are proteases which help to cleave C4 and C2.. The immune complex bound to C1 calls another protein C4 which is cleaved into C4a and C4b. C4a goes away whereas activated C4b attaches to the target surface near C1q. Now, C4b attracts C2 which is also cleaved into C2a and C2b. C2a binds C4b forming the C4b2a complex whereas C2b goes away. The active C4bC2a activates C3. The C4b2a complex is also known as C3 convertase as this converts C3 into an active form ...
The Immuno-Turbidimetric method measures the concentration of a protein by immunological measurements. The sample reacts with antibodies that, for example, are bound to a latex particle. The reaction is done in the antibody excess zone where the concentration of antibody is held constant and the amount of antigen-antibody complex formed depends directly on the concentration of antigen. The aggregates formed in this way cause a change in turbidity. The rate of change is detected with the absorbance delta (ΔOD) per minute, the optical curve. The intensity of turbidity change due to agglutination depends on the concentration, therefore, it requires calibration.. The agglutination between the investigated coagulation factor or product in the sample and the specific antibody starts by the addition of the reagent. The Yumizen G range systems monitor the process of agglutination based on the change of transmitted light intensity at 570 nm for Immuno-Turbidimetric method.. ...
MPGN type 2 is an autoimmune disease, in which the immune system attacks filters (glomeruli) in kidneys mistakenly. When the outside harmful substances such s lupus virus, hepatitis B virus invade into body as antigens, the antibodies in body fail to defeat them immediately for autoimmune disorder.

Our previous studies have shown that amyloid β peptide (Aβ) is subject to complement-mediated clearance from the peripheral circulation, and that this mechanism is deficient in Alzheimers disease. The mechanism should be enhanced by Aβ antibodies that form immune complexes (ICs) with Aβ, and therefore may be relevant to current Read & Research Alzheimers More. ...
The ViraChip® is an immunoblot based on an enzyme-immunoassay in a microarray format, carrying highly purified specific antigens bound to nitrocellulose at defined positions. It is suited for the qualitative detection of antibodies against specific antigens in human serum.. One microarray is fixed at the bottom of each well in a standard microtiter plate (MTP). The single breakable wells are stored in a holding frame with 96 positions. During the serum incubation step antigen-specific antibodies bind to the immobilised antigens, herein after referred to as spots, on the microarray. During the conjugate reaction, the AP-conjugate binds to the antigen-antibody complex. The alkaline phosphatase converts the chromogen/substrate and thus, stains the antigen-antibody complex on the microarray purple. The washing procedures following serum, conjugate and chromogen/substrate incubation steps remove unbound antibodies and reagents.. The control spots include serum controls, conjugate controls, ...

Perhaps the most common cause of excessive formation of antigen-antibody complexes is having an unhealthy digestive tract.. From your mouth to your anus, your digestive tract is one long tube that is meant to extract nutrients out of your food and allow smaller and usable components of these nutrients to slip through into your bloodstream so that they can fuel and nourish your cells. While your digestive tract is designed for proper digestion and assimilation of nutrients, it is also designed to protect your blood and inner cells against undesirable substances that can become antigens that lead to antigen-antibody complex formation in your blood.. If you abuse your digestive tract long enough with poor dietary and lifestyle choices, it can begin to lose its ability to prevent harmful substances from entering your blood. The lining of your digestive tract can begin to lose its integrity, and the population of microorganisms that line your digestive tract can shift from being predominately ...

The main findings in this work are that only a small subset of each of IR and PDGFβ‐R is tyrosine‐phosphorylated upon growth factor stimulation, that this subset can associate with the αvβ3 integrin, and that PDGF activity is enhanced in cells that are plated on an αvβ3 ligand.. In addition to the 190 kDa protein and IRS‐1 described previously in association with αvβ3 (Bartfeld et al., 1993; Vuori and Ruoslahti, 1994), we detected several other tyrosine‐phosphorylated proteins in αvβ3 immunocomplexes from cells stimulated with insulin or PDGF‐BB. In insulin‐stimulated cells, one of these proteins was shown to be the β‐subunit of IR. We had not found IRβ associated with αvβ3 in our earlier study, because the anti‐pY antibodies used in that work react poorly with IRβ.. The 190 kDa phosphoprotein that we observed associated with αvβ3 in PDGF‐stimulated cells was identified as PDGFβ‐R. Several lines of evidence, including immunoprecipitation of the protein with ...
Estimation of circulating immune complex in tuberculosis patients has shown better insight to the infection. Isolating circulating immune complex helps quantifying both antigen and antibody in the serum. Its a simple procedure to improve the sensitivity and specificity in serodiagnosis of tuberculosis. This protocol may be modified to detect antigen/antibody in other infectious diseases.
ELISA (Enzyme-Linked-Immunosorbent-Assay) is a very common, robust technique for detecting various analytes. The ELISA technique causes formation of specific immune complexes that can be measured.
EBV is a member of the gamma-herpesvirus family. It is an enveloped virus of about 150-180 nm diameter with an icosahedral nucleocapsid containing a double-stranded DNA viral genome of about 172 000 base pairs. The nucleocapsid is composed of a major 160 kDa nonglycosylated polypeptide and a minor 125 kDa glycoprotein, both of which form part of the viral capsid antigen (VCA) complex. The virus lipoprotein envelope contains at least three virally-encoded glycoproteins, designated the membrane antigen (MA) complex. Two antigenically-related MA glycoproteins, gp340 and gp220, potentiate binding of the virus to a specific cell surface receptor molecule during the infection of target cells. The third MA glycoprotein, gp85, is involved in the fusion of bound virus with the host cell membrane. Following fusion, viral DNA is released into the cell and is transcribed and replicated in the nucleus, where it persists as multiple episomal copies.. The 140 kDa C3d complement receptor molecule (CD21) is the ...
3.1 Theory. We have been looking at how new complex systems can emerge from non-linear field interactions, where feedback loops replace simple linear cause-and-effect chains. We have looked at the increasingly complex levels of life, intelligence and choicefulness. The question I want to explore in this chapter is: how does this happen in the case of our emergent conscious self? What are the nuts and bolts of the interactions leading to my ability to be myself?. Notice how this is immediately a different question from the more familiar ones of how conscious self affects the environment, or vice versa. Both of these assume a primary separation of self from environment, so that the interactions each way can be charted. But using the three boundaries language from Chapter Two, we can see how this oversimplifies the situation. Self and environment do not belong to the same level of interaction. Environment engages with organism at the physical contact boundary; self engages with other at the ...

This gene encodes an isoform of the catalytic subunit of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K). These kinases are important in signaling pathways involving receptors on the outer membrane of eukaryotic cells and are named for their catalytic subunit. The encoded protein is the catalytic subunit for PI3Kbeta (PI3KB). PI3KB has been shown to be part of the activation pathway in neutrophils which have bound immune complexes at sites of injury or infection. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011 ...

Yersinia specific immune complexes were demonstrated in the synovial fluid of three patients out of 12 with yersinia triggered reactive arthritis. They were not detectable in the synovial fluid of any of the 16 control patients, including nine with reactive arthritis triggered by factors other than yersiniae. Platelet reactive IgG was detectable in the synovial fluid of eight out of the 12 patients with yersinia triggered reactive arthritis and in three of the 16 control patients, all three having rheumatoid arthritis. An enzyme linked immunosorbent assay and a platelet 125I labelled staphylococcal protein A test were used to measure yersinia specific immune complexes and platelet reactive IgG respectively. The results obtained show for the first time the occurrence of bacterial antigens, derived from the causative strain, in the synovial fluid in yersinia triggered reactive arthritis. ...
Neutrophils express receptors for numerous phlogistons which, when occupied, trigger distinct signal-transduction pathways. Previous studies have shown that stimulation of neutrophils with chemoattractants induces shedding of the adhesive molecule L-selectin and increased expression of the beta 2-integrin CD11b/CD18. We determined the effect of ligation of classic, G-protein-linked chemoattractant receptors [C5a, interleukin-8 (IL-8), formylmethionyl-leucylphenylalanine (FMLP) and substance P], receptors for the Fc portion of IgG (Fc gamma receptors) and receptors for transforming growth factor beta (TGF beta) on expression of adhesive molecules by neutrophils and the stimulus-transduction mechanisms thought to mediate these changes. We were surprised to observe that occupancy of Fc gamma receptors by immunocomplexes (BSA-anti-BSA) stimulated increased expression by neutrophils of CD11b/CD18 at concentrations which did not affect L-selectin expression (EC50 9 micrograms/ml versus 350 ...
Any antigen that elicits a humoral immune response may give rise to circulating immune complexes if the antigen remains present in abundant quantities once antibody is generated. Immune complexes are efficiently cleared in most circumstances by the reticuloendothelial system and are rarely pathogenic. Their pathogenic potential is realized when circulating immune complexes are deposited in the subendothelium, where they set in motion the complement cascade and activate myelomonocytic cells. The propensity for immune complexes to deposit is a function of the relative amounts of antigen and antibody and of the intrinsic features of the complex (ie, composition, size, and solubility). The solubility of immune complexes is not a fixed property, because it is profoundly influenced by the relative concentrations of antigen and antibody, which generally change as an immune response evolves. For physicochemical reasons, soluble immune complexes formed at slight antigen excess are not effectively cleared ...

Classical Pathway of Complement Activation. The classical pathway of complement activation usually begins with the formation of soluble antigen-antibody complexes (immune complexes) or with the binding of antibody to antigen on a suitable target, such as a bacterial cell.
By depletion of C3 from rabbits undergoing acute experimental immune complex disease with an anticomplementary factor in cobra venom, it has been possible to demonstrate that deposition of the complexes in arteries and glomeruli does not require the complement components reacting after C2.. Immunological reactions, in which platelets release their vasoactive amines, have been examined in rabbits undergoing immune complex disease. A correlation was obtained between the presence of a complement-independent reaction which required blood leukocytes, antigen and platelets, the deposition of immune complexes, and the induction of glomerulonephritis.. C3 depletion did, however, have a marked alleviating effect on the severity of the arterial lesions. Neutrophil accumulation and the subsequent necrotizing arteritis were prevented. In contrast, the character and severity of the glomerulonephritis was not altered by depletion of later-acting complement components.. ...

Basement membranes in the walls of cerebral capillaries and arteries form a major lymphatic drainage pathway for fluid and solutes from the brain. Amyloid-β (Aβ) draining from the brain is deposited in such perivascular pathways as cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) in Alzheimers disease (AD). CAA increases in severity when Aβ is removed from the brain parenchyma by immunotherapy for AD. In this study we investigated the consequences of immune complexes in artery walls upon drainage of solutes similar to soluble Aβ. We tested the hypothesis that, following active immunization with ovalbumin, immune complexes form within the walls of cerebral arteries and impair the perivascular drainage of solutes from the brain. Mice were immunized against ovalbumin and then challenged by intracerebral microinjection of ovalbumin. Perivascular drainage of solutes was quantified following intracerebral microinjection of soluble fluorescent 3kDa dextran into the brain at different time intervals after intracerebral
Receptors for IgG provide the best characterized and most detailed examples of the coordinate and opposing roles displayed by activating and inhibitory receptors (22, 23). Studies on these receptors have defined several general paradigms for the class of inhibitory receptors as a whole and pointed to the physiological relevance of these pathways in the immune response. IgG immune complexes were recognized as potent inhibitory ligands more than 30 years ago with the observation that B cell activation could be attenuated by immune complexes (24). A molecular basis for this activity was suggested with the cloning of two genes for murine low-affinity IgG Fc receptors, now referred to as FcγRIIB and FcγRIII (25). The extracellular domains were found to be 95% identical in their primary amino acid sequence and to mediate low-affinity binding to IgG immune complexes with similar specificity. However, these nearly identical domains were coupled to distinctly different intracytoplasmic domains, which ...

Immunohistochemistry is used to confirm the presence of or to identify certain structures or substances in tissue sections which cannot be identified with conventional staining methods. Such structures include: cells, enzymes, hormones, macromolecules like nucleic acids and polysaccharides. The basis of immunohistochemical staining techniques is the antigen-antibody reaction. This method makes it possible to differentiate, for example, various cells in a tissue section according to their different metabolic products or surfaces. Either the metabolic product or a certain surface component serves as the antigen. In the first step, the antigen reacts with a specific antibody. The resulting antigen-antibody complex is invisible. Therefore, in a further step a second antibody bound to an adjuvant is added and binds to the initial antibody (so-called sandwich procedure). The bound adjuvant makes the antigen-antibody complex visible under the microscope and identifies the sought structure. Adjuvants ...

Immune complexes (ICs) are formed to clear undesired material from the circulation in normal course and are elevated during disease pathologies. Elevated levels of ICs opsonized by complement activation by-products are present during viral infections such as H1N1, HIV, Hepatitis C, autoimmunity, and malignancies as well as during acute humoral rejection. The IC formation and their defective clearance trigger inflammatory response. ICs trigger complement activation and generate inflammatory mediators such as C3a and C5a anaphylotoxins. Complement opsonized ICs deposit at vascular sites, trigger proinflammatory response by releasing cytokines via Fc-receptor and/or complement receptor engagement. Antibodies present in the ICs by bind to activating or inhibitory Fc receptors (FcRs), which trigger effector function and regulate cellular responses. Myeloid cells express both activating and inhibitory FcRs. Complement opsonized ICs interact and regulate B-cell responses. ICs activate macrophages and produce

Background: Monoclonal antibodies (mAb) are important tools in the management of tumor disease, and the discovery of antibodies with both specific cancer cell targeting and capacity to enter the cells by internalization are critical to improve the therapeutic efficacy. Method: Antibody cancer cell targeting and internalization properties of fluoroscein-conjugated mAb made against Lewis Y (BR96) were evaluated quantitatively and qualitatively by means of flow cytometry (FCM) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), respectively, on cells from a rat tumor cell line (BN7005-H1D2). Results: The study demonstrated a specific binding of BR96 to LewisY (LeY) located in the cell membrane and as BR96/LeY immunocomplexes (BR96/LeY) internalized into the cytoplasm. BR96/LeY was internalized into about 15% of the cells, usually distributed throughout the cytoplasm, but also located close to the nuclei. Cytotoxic effects by BR96 were indicated, and CLSM visualized subpopulations containing cells with ...

Background An elevation of the intracellular calcium level, which is mediated by N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors and L-type Ca2+ channels both, activates the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase signaling pathway involved in synaptic modification. It has recently been suggested that MAP kinase plays a role in coupling the synaptic excitation to gene expression in the nucleus of postsynaptic neurons. Because the effects of local anesthetics on cellular signal transduction in neuronal cells are not well-known, the authors investigated whether they affect the MAP kinase signaling pathway using PC12 cells. Methods The cells were stimulated with either 50 mM KCl or 1 microM ionomycin, and activated MAP kinase was thus immunoprecipitated. The immunocomplexes were then subjected to an Elk1 phosphorylation assay. Both the phosphorylation of MAP kinase and the induction of c-Fos were detected by immunoblotting. Results Pretreatment of the cells with 1 mM (ethylenedioxy)-diethyl-enedinitrilotetraacetic ...
Background: The role of innate immunity in healing and remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI) has been studied in great detail. Recently, we demonstrated that Foxp3+CD4+ regulatory T cells (Treg cells) facilitate wound healing post-MI. We therefore pursued a strategy to activate Treg cells in a therapeutic fashion by employing a treatment modality with clinical potential, i.e. by administration of interleukin (IL)-2/ anti-IL-2 monoclonal antibody (IL-2 mAB) complexes.. Methods and results: Mice were subjected to experimental MI and treated with IL-2/ IL-2 mAB complexes beginning on day 1 after infarction. IL-2 and anti-IL-2 mAB (clone JES5-1) were mixed at a molar ratio of 1:2 and each mouse was treated on three consecutive days receiving a dose of 6 μg IL-2/ IL-2 mAB complexes per injection corresponding to approximately 5000 IU IL-2 per day. Mice were monitored for up to 7 days. IL-2/ IL-2 mAB complex treatment attenuated left-ventricular remodeling by trend and preserved cardiac ...

The assembly and activation of the early components of complement, after their interaction with antibody-antigen complexes, are described in terms of the structures of the different proteins taking part. C1q, a molecule of unique half collagen-half globular structure, binds to the second constant domain of the antibody molecules through its six globular heads. A tetrameric complex of C1r2-C1s2 binds to the collagenous tails and leads to formation of the serine-type proteases C1¯r and C1¯s. C1¯s activates C4, which forms a covalent bond between its α chain and the Fab section of the antibody. C2 is also activated by C1¯s and associates with the bound C4¯ molecule to form C42¯, a labile protease that activates C3, but which loses activity as the C2¯ peptide chains dissociate from C4¯. C2, by analogy with factor B, the equivalent component of the alternative pathway of activation, appears to be a novel type of serine protease with a similar catalytic site but different activation ...
In this study the researchers find that breastfeeding by antigen-sensitised mothers exposed to antigen aerosols during lactation induced a robust and long-lasting antigen-specific protection from asthma. Protection was more profound and persistent than the one induced by antigen-exposed non-sensitised mothers. The study provides new insights on the mechanisms of tolerance induction in neonates and highlights that IgG immune complexes found in breast milk are potent inducers of oral tolerance. These observations may pave the way for the identification of key factors for primary prevention of immune-mediated diseases such as asthma. Mucosal Immunol. 2010 May 19. [Epub ahead of print]. ...
The subject invention provides a means for the immunological detection of an entire class of microorganisms in clinical samples. The detection is accomplished by reaction of the clinical sample iwth a class-specific immunological reagent. This reagent is an antiserum either monoclonal or polyclonal in nature, and the detection is based upon reaction of the antiserum with an antigenic determinant which is shared among all members of the detectable class of microorganisms. The presence of the resulting immunological reaction product (e.g. the antigen-antibody complex) may be detected by well-known immunological detection-systems.
The current status of docking procedures for predicting protein-protein interactions starting from their three-dimensional (3D) structure is reassessed by evaluating blind predictions, performed during 2003-2004 as part of Rounds 3-5 of the community-wide experiment on Critical Assessment of PRedicted Interactions (CAPRI). Ten newly determined structures of protein-protein complexes were used as targets for these rounds. They comprised 2 enzyme-inhibitor complexes, 2 antigen-antibody complexes, 2 complexes involved in cellular signaling, 2 homo-oligomers, and a complex between 2 components of the bacterial cellulosome. For most targets, the predictors were given the experimental structures of 1 unbound and 1 bound component, with the latter in a random orientation. For some, the structure of the free component was derived from that of a related protein, requiring the use of homology modeling. In some of the targets, significant differences in conformation were displayed between the bound and ...
A chronic skin issue like eczema can often be treated with dietary interventions.2 Often your immune system mistakenly identifies a food as being foreign, tagging it with an antibody and forming an antibody-antigen complex. When these form in abundance, they deposit in your joints, and your skin - leading to eczema.2 Conditions like eczema require modulating your immune system to only identify and tag true intruders and not foods that we eat on a daily basis.2. ...

Ongoing since 1999, the lab has worked to develop infrared probes of protein dynamics, specifically the carbon-deuterium (C-D) bond. Weve used C-D bonds to characterize stability, folding, and function of a variety of proteins, and compared their use to other common IR probes of proteins. A second biophysical project focuses on protein evolution, specifically evolution of antibodies and the role of somatic mutations in altering antibody structure and dynamics. Weve characterized antibodies raised against several chromophoric antigens, which have allowed us to measure the rigidity of the antibody-antigen complex using nonlinear optical spectroscopy.. ...

Either a direct or an indirect assay principle can be chosen, and one can select from a large number of detection and labeling formats. Under certain conditions, one has to adapt a specific staining technique according to the needs of the tissue and the molecules under study. The principles of immunohistological staining can be also applied for the detection of target molecules other than antigens supposed that selective probes are available. With the experience of immunocytochemistry, a number of non-immunological affinity detection principles have become developped. For example, molecular affinity bindings of lectins and nucleic acids (in situ hybridization, FISH etc.) evolved from immunohistological detection principles. The detection formats include enzymatic and nonenzymatic labels, avidin-biotin principles, antibody-protein A bindings and other types of ligand bindings ...
