The antibody-antigen complexThe binding of antibody to antigen is noncovalent and
reversible and it is entirely dependent on noncovalent interactions
The many weak noncovalent interactions include hydrogen bonds, van der Waals forces, coulombic interactions and hydrophobic bonds
Strength of interaction is described by affinity constant
KA = [Ab-Ag] / [Ab].[Ag]
Affinity constant, e.g. strength of bond, is dependent on pH, ionic strength, the presence of detergents or chaotropic agents

ImmunoassaysThe most frequently used immunochemical method
for quantification of various substances.
Principle of method is in forming immunocomplex from free antigen and specific antibody with addition the small amount of labeled component (Ab or Ag) and subsequent separation of imunocomplex from its free components.
The level of labeling of immunocomplex is proportional the analytical amount of original free component

Types of immunoassaysAccording the label1) radioisotope - RIA radioimmunoassay2) enzyme - EIA enzymimmunoassay3) fluorescent dye (e.g. fluorescein)
Direct labellingIndirect labeling (nonlabeled primary specific Ab is
marked by addition labeled secondary Ab against Ig of promary Ig)
According separation of immunocomplex1) Homogenous2) Heterogenous

Antigen attached to solid phase
This basic arrangement is used for detection a quantification of specific antibodies (e.g. antiviral)

Washing and incubation with secondary antibody labeled with enzyme or radioisotope
Utilizing of immunoassay with attached antigen for estimation of free antigen – competetive EIA

Immunoblotting (Western blotting) • combines the resolution of gel
electrophoresis with specifity of detection by antibodies
• semiquantitative method
• able to analyse antigens which are soluble even only in solvents with detergent (eg. SDS) or chaotropic compounds (urea, guanidin hydrochloride)

Immunoblotting procedure steps• Resolution of proteins by gel
electrophoresis
• Transfer of separated polypeptides to a membrane support (eg. nitrocellulose)
• Blocking remaining nonspecific binding sites on membrane (usually by nonfat milk)
• Incubation with primary specific antibody
• Detection

(necessity of polyclonal antibodies and antigen with several different epitopes).

Immunoprecipitation• Immunoprecipitation is the oldest imunological
technique • Immunoprecipitation is used for detection in
diffusion immunological techniques• Immunoprecipitation and subsequent separation of
precipitated antigenic polypeptides is modern immunochemical technique for study of antigenic determinants occurred in various proteins under various conditions (e.g. fosfotyrosine during signalling or nitrotyrosine during tissue damage)

Immunosensors• principle is similar to heterogenous EIA but the
determination of the amount of immunocomplex is done without labeled component by measurement of electric or optical changes on the surface of the sensor
• QCM (quartz crystall microbalance) - decrease of frequence of quartz crystal oscilator is proportional to the bound mass to crystall
• SPR (surface plasmon resonance) - optical phenomenon ,observed on surfaces of thin layer or noblr metal or on nanoparticles, is proportional to amount of absorbed mass on surface/nanoparticles
