[Detection of immune complexes using atomic force microscopy].

Complex formation between immunoglobulins and ligands immobilized on mica was studied by atomic force microscopy in two different systems. In the first system, 60-kDa ligands possessing only one site for antibody recognition were used. In the other system, a more complex interaction of human immunoglobulin with immobilized polyclonal antibodies was studied. In both systems, specific complexes with proper ligand appeared, and unspecific interaction was not detected. The method of revealing immunocomplexes by image atomic force microscopy can be used in the development of modern diagnostic systems.

[Investigation of ribosomes of E. coli and T. maritima by atomic force microscopy].

Subunits 70S, 50S, and 30S of ribosomes of E. coli and T. maritima have been studied by atomic force microscopy. A considerable heterogeneity of structures was visualized when 70S and 30S subunits were sorbed on mica. The linear size and the height of molecules were estimated. It was found that the heights of ribosomes of E. coli and T. maritima substantially differ. The average height of 70S ribosomes of E. coli was 9.4 + 0.01 nm and that of T. maritima was 10.35 +/- 0.02 nm. The differences in the dimensions were probably determined by special organization of the mobile ribosomal element the L7/L12-stalk.
