Abstract
We report on a rapid micro-ELISA screening procedure for the detection of monoclonal antibodies directed against cell surface determinants on lymphoid cells of the mouse. This method employs Terasaki-type trays coated with a monolayer of target cells fixed with 0.02% glutaraldehyde. Cells are incubated with monoclonal antibodies, followed by affinity column-purified rabbit-anti-rat immunoglobulin antibodies and a protein-A-beta-galactosidase conjugate. Binding of antibodies to the cells is visualized by incubation with the substrate 4-methylumbelliferyl galactoside. Fluorescence in the individual wells of the Terasaki trays is then quantitatively analysed within 120 s using a scanning inverted microfluorometer, connected to a digital voltmeter and a desk-top calculator.Entities:
