Antigen overlay technique for line immunoelectrophoresis and crossed-line immunoelectrophoresis of thermolabile antigens.

A simple antigen overlay technique for line immunoelectrophoresis and crossed-line immunoelectrophoresis is described. A blind gel is overlaid with antigen-impregnated filter paper instead to mix antigens with molten agarose and to pour them in a uniform sample gel. This makes it easier in line and crossed-line immunoelectrophoresis comparison of different antigen samples, simplifying technique as compared with the conventional method. Moreover, this technique is designated to obtain reproducible patterns from thermolabile proteins since they are unaffected by being heated.

Patterns of factor-VIII related antigen on crossed immunoelectrophoresis and large pore polyacrylamide gel-crossed immunoelectrophoresis in von Willebrand's disease.

Plasma samples from patients with various types of von Willebrand's disease were subdivided into six patterns according to the electrophoretic mobility and shape of VIIIR: Ag on crossed immunoelectrophoresis (CIE): pattern 1 no precipitation are, pattern 2 normal mobility with low arc, arc, pattern 3 intermediate mobility with low arc, pattern 4 faster anodal mobility with low arc, pattern 5 normal mobility with normal are height, pattern 6 faster anodal mobility with normal are height. Of 62 patients, 14 had pattern 1, 6 pattern 2, 16 pattern 3, 12 pattern 4, 9 pattern 5, and 5 pattern 6. Large pore polyacrylamide-agarose gel-crossed immunoelectrophoresis (PAAG-CIE) of crude factor VIII fraction from cryoprecipitate revealed no arcs in patients with pattern 1, three arcs of reduced height in the patients with patterns 2 and 3, four arcs very similar to normal control in patients with pattern 5, and two arcs with fast anodal migration in the patients with patterns 4 and 6. Crude factor VIII fractions from normal cryosupernatant showed one low fast anodally migrating arc corresponding to the fourth arc of normal cryoprecipitate. No peak was seen in patients with pattern 1, and one low fast anodal arc similar to normal control was present in the patients with patterns 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

[Applications of bidimensional immunoelectrophoresis to hypersensitivity pneumonia by inhalation of organic antigens. Its interest in relation to the classical immunodiffusion and immunoelectrophoresis methods (author's transl)].

Bidimensional electrophoresis is of most interest for the diagnosis of extrinsic allergic alveolitis. In fact, this detecting method is more specific than classical immunoelectrophoresis. Thus patients showing with the classical methods precipitation lines with one or several antigens do not present everytime the corresponding clinical signs. These positive but false reactions cannot in any case appear with bidimensionnal electrophoresis. Generally, the patient showing at least two precipitation lines opposite one antigen in bidimensional electrophoresis always followed by an increase of IgG, does also present the clinical signs of the disease.

Labeling immunoelectrophoresis: a general method for increasing the sensitivity of rocket immunoelectrophoresis with 125I-labeled anti-antibodies.

In a new procedure, rocket immunoelectrophoresis is performed at pH 8.7 with rabbit antibodies and 5% polyethyleneglycol 6000 in the agarose gel. After the pH in the gel has been changed to 5 the nonprecipitated immunoglobulins are electrophorsed out of the gel simultaneously with the electrophoresis of 125I-labeled swine antibodies against rabbit IgG into the gel. The latter antibodies tag the rabbit IgG, which is not present only in the precipitates. The radioactive precipitates are visualized by autoradiography. The method permits quantification of antigens down to an amount of approximately 0.5 ng; well-defined rockets are not formed below this limit. Compared to conventional protein staining with Coomassie brilliant blue, this represents an increase in sensitivity of up to 20 times.

Discontinuous polyacrylamide gel-agarose gel immunoelectrophoresis for analysis of plasma lipoproteins.

A modification of crossed immunoelectrophoresis for the analysis of plasma lipoproteins is described and is called polyacrylamide gel-crossed immunoelectrophoresis. The incorporation of albumin in the first-dimensional gel facilitates the transfer of the larger lipoproteins containing apolipoprotein B from the first-dimensional gel to the second dimension. Furthermore, under this condition the quantitation of total apolipoprotein B by polyacrylamide gel-crossed immunoelectrophoresis is in good agreement with the results obtained by rocket immunoelectrophoresis or nephelometry. The correlation between polyacrylamide gel-crossed immunoelectrophoresis and rocket immunoelectrophoresis is good for total apolipoprotein B (p greater than 0.001) and apolipoprotein A-I (p greater than 0.001). Polyacrylamide gel-crossed immunoelectrophoresis also offers interesting aspects to study the plasma lipoprotein classes and subclasses in different cases: normal plasma, current and complex dyslipoproteinemias in the presence or absence of lipoprotein small a. In a case of dyslipoproteinemia of Fredrickson's Type V polyacrylamide gel-crossed immunoelectrophoresis demonstrates the presence of a small-sized Lp (a) major peak in the low density lipoprotein (LDL) zone and of a large-sized Lp (a) minor peak in the very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) zone.

Antigenic analysis if Pasteurella multocida (serotype 1) by crossed immunoelectrophoresis: characterization of whole cell associated antigens.

Crossed immunoelectrophoresis and other related quantitative immunoelectrophoresis techniques have been used to elucidate the antigenic complexity of a reference preparation of capsular extract, potassium thiocyanate extract, lipopolysaccharide, heat-stable antigens, and free endotoxin from Pasteurella multocida serotype 1. The reactions of these cellular fractions in crossed immunoelectrophoresis, with reference anti-whole cell immunoglobulins disclosed five antigens in the capsular extract, seven in the potassium thiocyanate extract, one to three in the lipopolysaccharide, three in the heat-stable antigens, and five in the free endotoxin. Comparison of these reference antigen-antibody systems, in crossed immunoelectrophoresis, with intermediate gel containing wither a reference anti-cell envelope or anticytoplasmic immunoglobulins not only revealed the presence of additional antigens but also gave insight into the probably cellular origins (i.e., cell surface, cell envelope, or cytoplasm) of various antigens unveiled by reference anti-whole cell immunoglobulins. Using the principle of tandem crossed immunoelectrophoresis and crossed-line immunoelectrophoresis the immunochemical relationships between the antigenic components of these reference antigen-antibody systems were established.

Immunoelectrophoresis employing avian antisera for the detection and quantitation of Pasteurella multocida antigens.

Immunoelectrophoresis with various buffer systems at high and low pH was examined for suitability to detect and quantitate Pasteurella multocida antigens with turkey or chicken anti-P. multocida sera. Counterimmunoelectrophoresis was used to develop a buffer system for one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and rocket immunoelectrophoresis. The effects of pH, buffer, and molarity on resolution of immunoprecipitates were determined; 0.05 M sodium acetate-acetic acid buffer at pH 5.6 was the most suitable buffer. This buffer could be used in counterimmunoelectrophoresis with turkey or chicken sera to detect minute amounts of P. multocida protein antigens (4.3 ng/test) or lipopolysaccharide (3.12 micrograms/test). One-dimensional immunoelectrophoresis with the acetate buffer system required treatment of the gels with a 17% NaCl solution to induce immunoprecipitation of P. multocida lipopolysaccharide. Other techniques using the acetate buffer system did not require the high salt treatment. In two-dimensional immunoelectrophoresis, antisera migrated in the second dimension at pH 8.6, but did not migrate at pH 5.6. Rocket immunoelectrophoresis with the acetate buffer system was effective for quantitating P. multocida antigens.

Serologic studies of Streptococcus intermedius, Streptococcus constellatus, and Streptococcus morbillorum by crossed immunoelectrophoresis.

A reference antigen-antibody system for Streptococcus intermedius, Streptococcus constellatus, and Streptococcus morbillorum was established with crossed immunoelectrophoresis. A comparison of S. intermedius, S. constellatus, and S. morbillorum with crossed immunoelectrophoresis and crossed immunoelectrophoresis with intermediate gel indicated that S. intermedius and S. constellatus are closely related antigenically with as many as six common cytoplasmic antigens. S. morbillorum was antigenically more distinct; antiserum of one strain of S. morbillorum was monospecific, indicating that specific serogroups of S. morbillorum exist. Crossed immunoelectrophoresis and tandem crossed immunoelectrophoresis revealed that S. intermedius, S. constellatus, and S. morbillorum also share some common antigens with Streptococcus sanguis and Streptococcus mitis, but S. intermedius, S. constellatus, and S. morbillorum are antigenically distinct from Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus bovis.
