2. EDWARD JENNER
• Father of Vaccinology &
Founder of Immunology
• Major contribution: first
reliable method of
conferring lasting immunity
to a major contagious
disease (smallpox)
• Initiated the technique of
vaccination

3. LOOKING BACK...
• 18th century: Small pox
• 19th century: Rabies; typhoid; cholera; plague
• Early 20th century: BCG;Yellow fever; pertussis:
influenza; diphtheria; tetanus
• After world war II:
• OPV; MMR; Adenovirus; Salmonella Ty21a; varicella;
Injected Polio; Rabies; Japanese encephalitis; Hepatitis A;
Pneumococcus; meningococcus, Hemophilus influenza
PRP, Hepatitis B; Acellular pertussis

7. PASSIVE
IMMUNIZATION
• Administration of preformed
antibodies to treat infection
• Can be life-saving where toxins are
already circulating : tetanus,
diphtheria, snake bite
• Important where high titer specific
antibody is required
Monday, September 10, 2012
8. PASSIVE
IMMUNIZATION
• Preformed antibodies generally made in
horses, but occasionally obtained from
recovered patients
• Over 1000 donors used for each pool of
ISG, and sera are screened for HIV and
hepatitis B and C

12. NON-SPECIFIC IMMUNOTHERAPY
• Same compounds that act as adjuvants for vaccines also
used on their own to boost the general level of immune
activity
Monday, September 10, 2012
16. ACTIVE
IMMUNITY
• The process of administering antigen to a live host to
induce an immune response for either academic or
public health reasons
• Vaccines have been developed as a prophylactic
measure to prevent disease caused by infectious agents,
provided their use caused only low levels of morbidity
• WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION: Expanded
Program on Immunization (EPI) and Vaccine
development programs/initiatives
Monday, September 10, 2012
36. EFFECTS OF ADJUVANTS
• Concentration of antigen in a site where
lymphocytes are exposed to it
• the “DEPOT” effect
• Induction of cytokines which regulate
lymphocyte function
• cytokines themselves shown to be
effective adjuvants, particularly when
coupled directly to antigen

QUIZ
• Next to Smallpox, why do you think that polio
and measles are the next diseases targeted for
global elimination?
• Differentiate the 4 Immunization Flagship
Programs of the country in terms of:
• target group, vaccine to use and route, criteria
for success
Monday, September 10, 2012
88. RECALL...
• Immunologic tolerance: unresponsiveness
to self-antigens
• WHAT WE WILL LEARN:
• How does the immune system maintain its
unresponsiveness to self-antigens
• What are the factors that may contribute to
the development of autoimmunity?
Monday, September 10, 2012
90. ON ENCOUNTER WITH
LYMPHOCYTES...
The choice among lymphocyte activation, tolerance, and ignorance is determined by the nature of
the antigen-specific lymphocytes and by the nature of the antigen and how it is displayed to the
immune system
Monday, September 10, 2012
91. IMPORTANCE OF IMMUNOLOGIC
TOLERANCE
• the knowledge that self-antigens normally induce tolerance
• if we learn how to induce tolerance in lymphocytes specific
for a particular antigen, we may be able to use this knowledge
to prevent or control unwanted immune reactions
• APPLICATIONS:
• treat allergic and autoimmune diseases
• prevent the rejection of organ transplants
• gene therapy
• prevent immune responses against the products of newly
expressed genes or vectors
Monday, September 10, 2012
92. CENTRAL &
PERIPHERAL
• central tolerance:
induced when developing
lymphocytes encounter
these antigens in the
generative lymphoid organs
(bone marrow and thymus)
• peripheral tolerance:
induces when mature
lymphocytes encounter self
antigens in peripheral
tissues
Monday, September 10, 2012
93. AUTOIMMUNITY
• Principal factors in the
development of
autoimmunity:
• inheritance of susceptibility
genes
• may contribute to failure
of self-tolerance
• environmental triggers
• e.g. infections = may
activate self-reactive
lymphocytes
Monday, September 10, 2012
94. CENTRAL T-LYMPHOCYTE
TOLERANCE
• Negative
selection:
principal
mechanism of
central tolerance
• Strong recognition of self antigens immature T-cells in the thymus may lead to death of
the cells (negative selection or deletion)
• Self-antigen recognition in the thymus may also lead to the development of regulatory T-
cells that enter peripheral tissues
Monday, September 10, 2012
95. PERIPHERAL T-
LYMPHOCYTES & ANERGY
• Peripheral tolerance:
• induced when mature T cells recognize self
antigens in peripheral tissues, leading to
functional inactivation (anergy) or death
• induced when the self-reactive lymphocytes are
suppressed by regulatory T cells
Monday, September 10, 2012
96. ANERGY
• ANERGY: functional inactivation of T-lymphocytes that occurs
when these ceIls recognize antigens without adequate levels of the
costimulators (second signals) that are needed for full T-cell
activation
Monday, September 10, 2012
99. Characteristics of self and foreign (e.g. microbial)
protein antigens that determine why the self
antigens induce tolerance and microbial antigens
stimulate T-cell mediated immune responses
Monday, September 10, 2012
105. SUMMARY
• Immunologic tolerance: specific
unresponsiveness to an antigen induced by exposure of
lymphocytes to that antigen
• All individuals are tolerant of (unresponsive to) their
own (self)antigens
• Tolerance against antigens may be induced by
administering that antigen in particular ways =
strategy may be useful for treating immunologic
disease and for preventing the rejection of
transplants
Monday, September 10, 2012
106. SUMMARY
• Autoimmune diseases: result from a failure of self-
tolerance
• Multiple factors contribute to autoimmunity:
• immunologic abnormalities
• susceptibility genes
• infections
Monday, September 10, 2012
107. SUMMARY
• Central tolerance: induced by the death of immature
lymphocytes that encounter antigens in the generative
lymphoid organs while Peripheral tolerance: results
from the recognition of antigens by mature Iymphocytes in
peripheral tissues
• T-CELLS:
• Central tolerance (negative selection): result of high-
affinity recognition of antigens in the thymus, which tend to
be widely disseminated self-antigens AND may eliminate
the potentially most dangerous T-cells, which express high-
affinity receptors for disseminated self-antigens
Monday, September 10, 2012
108. SUMMARY
• T-CELLS:
• Peripheral tolerance: induced by multiple mechanisms
• Anergy (functional inactivation) results from the
recognition of antigens without costimulators (second
signals) or when T cells use inhibitory receptors to
recognize costimulators
• Deletion (death by apoptosis) occurs when T cells
repeatedly encounter self antigens
• Some self-reactive T cells suppress potentially
pathogenic T-cells
Monday, September 10, 2012
109. SUMMARY
•B-CELLS
• central tolerance: induced when
immature cells recognize self antigens in the
bone marrow
• peripheral tolerance: (by anergy)
induced when mature B cells recognize self
antigens without T cell help
Monday, September 10, 2012
110. SUMMARY
• AUTOIMMUNITY
• Many genes contribute to the development of
autoimmunity
• The strongest associations are between HLA genes
and various T cell-mediated autoimmune diseases
• Infections predispose to autoimmunity, by causing
inflammation and inducing the aberrant expression
of costimulators or because of cross-reactions
between microbial and self antigens

113. WHAT ARE TUMORS? webmd.com
• Simply means a mass of
cells
• Can be either benign or
malignant
• Benign tumors: not a
threat to life or long-
term health; made up of
related but different cells
• Malignant tumors:
threat to life or long-
term health; clonal or all
identical to the cell of
origin
Monday, September 10, 2012
114. IMMUNE RESPONSE TO
TUMORS
• T cells generally mount
effective surveillance against
tumors associated with
oncogenic viruses or UV
induction (these are strongly
immunogenic)
• More weakly immunogenic
tumors are not controlled by joseph-birch.livejournal.com
T cell surveillance, although
sometimes low grade
responses are evoked

115. IMMUNE RESPONSE TO
TUMORS
• NK cells play a role in
containing tumor growth
and metastases;
• The importance of the
immune system in
preventing tumor growth
can be seen in
immunocompromised
patients - AIDS patients
have a much higher chance
of developing many types
of cancer
Monday, September 10, 2012
116. WHAT IS CANCER?
• diseases in which there is loss
of regulation of the
proliferative process
• characterized by excessive,
uncontrolled growth of
abnormal cells, which invade
and destroy other tissues nursingcrib.com
• hyperproliferation of cells
that have violated the basic
rules of social cell behavior
(i.e, lost the ability to be
controlled by normal cell
signals)
Monday, September 10, 2012
117. CANCER
• Control is important to
ensure that cells only
divide when needed
(organs and tissues
should maintain their
correct shapes and sizes)
• Should this system fail,
several backup safety
mechanisms prevent
topnews.in
the cell from dividing
uncontrollably
Monday, September 10, 2012
118. DEFENSE AGAINST
UNCONTROLLED PROLIFERATION
• A cell can initiate cell
death (suicide) when a
defect is detected through
a process called apoptosis
• A cell can repair the error
and become a normal cell genengnews.com
• Immune system (e.g.,
natural killer cells can
detect abnormal cells and
kill them)
Monday, September 10, 2012
119. WHAT ARE ORGANS
TRANSPLANTS?
• surgical operation in
which a failing or damaged
organ in the human body is
removed and replaced
with a functioning one
• donated organ may be
from a deceased donor, a
living donor, or an
animal
• NOTE: In some cases an
artificial organ is used
Monday, September 10, 2012
120. WHAT ARE ORGANS
TRANSPLANTS?
• Cadaveric organ donation involves
removing organs from a recently
deceased donor
• Living organ donation involves the
donation of one of a paired organ (such
as kidneys) or a portion of an organ
(such as a lobe of the liver or lung)
• The donor's organ system is still
able to function after the donation
• Living donors are often related to
the patient, but that is not always
the case
Monday, September 10, 2012
121. SO WHAT’S IT FOR
IMMUNOLOGY?
• CANCER: enhancing immunity against
the tumors holds much promise for
treatment
•TRANSPLANTS: immune
responses against transplants are a
barrier for a successful transplantation
Monday, September 10, 2012
122. WHAT WE WILL LEARN...
• What are the antigens in tumors and tissue
transplants that are recognized as foreign
by the immune system?
• How does the immune system recognize
and react to tumors and transplants?
• How can the immune responses to tumors
and grafts be manipulated to enhance
tumor rejection and inhibit graft rejection?
Monday, September 10, 2012
123. IMMUNE SURVEILLANCE
• 1950s: a physiologic function of the
adaptive immune system is to prevent the
outgrowth of transformed cells or to
destroy these cells before they become
harmful tumors

124. EVIDENCES SUPPORTING
THE CONCEPT OF
IMMUNO SURVEILLANCE
Monday, September 10, 2012
125. TUMOR ANTIGENS
• Malignant
tumors
express
various types
of molecules
that may be
recognized by
the immune
system as
foreign
antigens
Monday, September 10, 2012
126. IMMUNE MECHANISM FOR
TUMOR REJECTION
• The principal immune mechanism of tumor
eradication is killing of tumor cells by cytolytic
T-lymphocytes (CTLs) specific for tumor
antigens
• endogenously synthesized cytosolic proteins
displayed as Class I MHC-associated
peptides
• SO: recognized by class I MHC-restricted
CD8+ CTLs (kills the cell producing the
antigens)
Monday, September 10, 2012
127. IMMUNE MECHANISM FOR
TUMOR REJECTION
• CTLs responses against tumor cells are often induced
by recognition of tumor antigens on host-antigen
presenting cells (APCs) which ingest tumor cells or
their antigens and present the antigens to T-cells
Monday, September 10, 2012
128. IMMUNE MECHANISM FOR
TUMOR REJECTION
• anti-tumor CD4+ T-
cell responses and
antibodies have been
detected in patients (but
may not be protective)
• activated
macrophages and NK
cells are capable of
killing tumor cells in vitro
(unclear protection)
Monday, September 10, 2012
129. EVASION OF
IMMUNE RESPONSE
BY TUMORS
• Immune response often fail to
check tumor growth because
these responses are
ineffective or because tumors
evolve to evade immune attack
• Immune responses against
tumors may be weak because
many tumor antigens are
weakly immunogenic,
perhaps because they differ
only slightly from self
antigens
Monday, September 10, 2012
130. EVASION OF IMMUNE
RESPONSE BY TUMORS
• Growing tumors also develop mechanisms for
evading immune responses
• stop expressing the antigens that are targets of
immune attack (antigen loss variants) =
continue to grow and spread
• stop expressing class I MHC molecules =
cannot display antigens to CD8+ T-cells (cross-
priming)
• may produce molecules, e.g. transforming
growth factor-beta, that suppress immune
Monday, September 10, 2012
responses
131. IMMUNOTHERAPY
FOR TUMORS
• MAIN GOAL:
• provide antitumor effectors (antibodies
and T-cells) to patients
• actively immunize patients against their
tumors
• stimulate the patients’ own antitumor
immune response
Monday, September 10, 2012
132. IMMUNOTHERAPY
VS CHEMOTHERAPY
• Chemotherapy/
Irradiation: may have
devastating effects on
normal non-tumor tissues
• Immunotherapy: highly-
specific for the tumor health.umn.edu
Monday, September 10, 2012
133. STRATEGY 1:
PASSIVE IMMUNITY
• immune effectors are injected into cancer
patients
• e.g. monoclonal antibodies to tumor antigens +
potent toxins
• HOW: antibodies bind to tumor antigens and
activate host effector mechanisms (e.g.
phagocytes or complement system)
• HOW: toxins delivered to tumor cells
Monday, September 10, 2012
134. EXAMPLE: BREAST CANCER
IMMUNOTHERAPY
• ALL information from: Critical Reviews in Oncology and
Hematology, October 2010 (Emde et al. Therapeutic strategies and
mechanisms of tumorigenesis of HER2-overexpressing breast cancer)
• HER2 (tyrosine kinase): overexpressed in approximately 25% of breast
cancers; acts as a signal amplifier for its siblings = transmembrane
receptors that collectively bind with 11 distinct growth factors of the
EGF family
• THUS: overexpression of HER2 confers aggressive invasive
growth in preclinical models and in patients
• “Specific therapies targeting HER2 include monoclonal
antibodies, antibody–drug conjugates, small molecule tyrosine
kinase inhibitors, as well as heat shock protein and sheddase
inhibitors. Two of these drugs have shown impressive – yet
mostly transient – efficacy in patients with HER2
overexpressing breast cancer.”
Monday, September 10, 2012
135. Signal transduction pathways instigated
by HER2, co-receptors and EGF-like
growth factors (epidermal) and NRGs
(neuregulins)
Monday, September 10, 2012
136. Clinically approved and experimental
therapeutic strategies targeting ErbB-2/
HER2 in carcinomas:
a. Trastuzumab: humanized monoclonal
antibody directed against the extracellular
domain of HER2; recruits immune effector
mechanisms and can induce apoptosis, block
angiogenesis and inhibit tumor cell proliferation.
b. Pertuzumab: prevent heterodimerization of
HER2 with other family members
RECENTS:
a. Lapatinib: tyrosine kinase inhibitors;
reversible inhibitor
b. Neratinib: irreversible inhibitor; variably
inhibit a broad range of tyrosine kinases
c. 17-AAG: block the ATP/ADP binding pocket
of HSP90 and target HER2 for proteasomal
degradation (Note; HSP90: molecular chaperone
required for proper folding of protein kinases like
HER2

137. STRATEGIES FOR
ENHANCING ANTITUMOR
IMMUNE RESPONSE
• 1. Tumor-
antigen pulsed
DC: mimic normal
pathway of cross-
presentation to
induce specific T-cell
response
Monday, September 10, 2012
138. STRATEGIES FOR
ENHANCING ANTITUMOR
IMMUNE RESPONSE
• 2. DNA or
transfected DC:

tumor antigen thus
inducing specific T-
cell response
Monday, September 10, 2012
139. STRATEGIES FOR
ENHANCING ANTITUMOR
IMMUNE RESPONSE
• 3. tumor cell
expressing
costimulators
(e.g. B7) or
cytokines (e.g.
IL-2): cytokines or
costimulators to

generation of own
tumor-specific
immune response
Monday, September 10, 2012
140. IMMUNE RESPONSE
AGAINST TRANSPLANTS
Monday, September 10, 2012
141. IMMUNE RESPONSE
AGAINST TRANSPLANTS
• transplants exchanged wenliang.myweb.uga.edu
between animals of the
same and other inbred
are accepted
• grafts among different
strains are rejected
• GENES for graft rejection: products are
expressed in ALL tissues
Monday, September 10, 2012
142. IMMUNE RESPONSE
AGAINST TRANSPLANTS
• Allogeneic (allografts) and
Xenogeneic (xenografts) grafts
are always rejected
• Alloantigens (alloreactive
antibodies and T-cells)
• Xenoantigens (xenoreactive
antobodies and T-cells)
• CLINICAL Scenario: mostly
allogeneic
Monday, September 10, 2012
143. Transplantation
Antigens
• The antigens of
allografts that
serve as the
principal targets of
rejection are
proteins encoded
in the MHC
• Human MHC =
human
leukocyte
antigen or HLA
Monday, September 10, 2012
144. INDUCTION OF IMMUNE

147. MIXED LYMPHOCYTE
REACTION (MLR)
wenliang.myweb.uga.edu
• an in vitro model
of T-cell
recognition in
alloantigens
Monday, September 10, 2012
148. MIXED LYMPHOCYTE
REACTION (MLR)
• T-cells from one individual are cultured with
leukocytes of another individual and the responses
of the T-cells are assayed
• magnitude of response is proportional to the
extent of MHC differences between these individuals
• rough predictor of the outcomes of grafts
exchanged between these individuals
Monday, September 10, 2012
149. IMMUNE MECHANISM OF
GRAFT REJECTION
• occurs within minutes of transplantation; characterized by
thrombosis of graft vessels and ischemic necrosis of the graft
• mediated by circulating antibodies specific for antigens on graft
endothelial cells
Monday, September 10, 2012
150. IMMUNE MECHANISM OF
GRAFT REJECTION
not common BUT major
barrier to xenotransplantation
• occurs within minutes of transplantation; characterized by
thrombosis of graft vessels and ischemic necrosis of the graft
• mediated by circulating antibodies specific for antigens on graft
endothelial cells
Monday, September 10, 2012
151. IMMUNE MECHANISM OF
GRAFT REJECTION
• occurs within days or weeks after transplantation
• principal cause of early graft failure
• mediated mainly y T-cells which react against alloantigens in the graft
or may react agains cells in graft vessels leading to vascular damage
Monday, September 10, 2012
152. IMMUNE MECHANISM OF
GRAFT REJECTION
antibodies may also
play a role
• occurs within days or weeks after transplantation
• principal cause of early graft failure
• mediated mainly y T-cells which react against alloantigens in the graft
or may react agains cells in graft vessels leading to vascular damage
Monday, September 10, 2012
153. IMMUNE MECHANISM OF
GRAFT REJECTION
• occurs over months or years that leads to progressive loss of graft function
• manifested as fibrosis or narrowing of vessels (arteriosclerosis)
• T-cells secrete cytokines which stimulate proliferation of fibroblasts and
vascular smooth muscle cells in the graft
Monday, September 10, 2012
155. BONE MARROW
TRANSPLANTS
• elicit strong rejection
reactions: must perform cross-
matches
• carry the risk of graft-versus-
host disease: If mature allogeneic
T cells are transplanted with the
marrow cells, these mature T cells
can attack the recipient's tissues
• lead to temporary
immunodeficiency in
recipients

159. OVERVIEW OF
DIAGNOSTICS
• 3 CATEGORIES:
• Direct: clinical specimen is examined directly for
the presence of virus particles, virus antigen or viral
nucleic acids
• Indirect: the specimen into cell culture, eggs or
animals in an attempt to grow the virus
• Serology: detection of rising titres of antibody
between acute and convalescent stages of infection,
or the detection of Ig
Monday, September 10, 2012
160. ANTIGEN DETECTION:
DIRECT
• Applications:
• immunofluorescence testing of
nasopharyngeal aspirates for
respiratory viruses e.g.. RSV, flu
A, flu B, and adenoviruses
• detection of rotavirus antigen in
feces
rotavirus, adenovirus, astroviruses, Norwalk-like viruses • the pp65 CMV antigenaemia test
• the detection of HSV and VZV in
skin scraping

Monday, September 10, 2012
166. DIAGNOSING A PRIMARY
(ACUTE) INFECTION
• A significant rise in titre of IgG/total
antibody between acute and convalescent
sera
• CFT and HAI, it is normally taken as a four-fold or
greater increase in titre
• diagnosis is usually retrospective because by the
time the convalescent serum is taken, the patient
had probably recovered
Monday, September 10, 2012
167. DIAGNOSING A PRIMARY
(ACUTE) INFECTION
• Presence of IgM
• EIA, RIA, and IF may be used (rapid)
• BUT:
• interference by rheumatoid factor,
• re-infection by the virus
• unexplained persistence of IgM years after the
primary infection
Monday, September 10, 2012
168. DIAGNOSING A PRIMARY
(ACUTE) INFECTION
• Seroconversion
• changing from a previously antibody negative state
to a positive state
• e.g. seroconversion against HIV following a needle-
stick injury, or against rubella following contact with
a known case
Monday, September 10, 2012
169. DIAGNOSING A PRIMARY
(ACUTE) INFECTION
• A single high titre of IgG (or total
antibody)
• this is a very unreliable means of serological
diagnosis since the cut-off is very difficult to define
Monday, September 10, 2012
170. DIAGNOSING A RE-
INFECTION / RE-ACTIVATION
• It is often very difficult to differentiate re-infection/re-
activation from a primary infection
• When important: rubella infection in the first
trimester of pregnancy: primary infection is associated
with a high risk of fetal damage whereas re-infection is
not
• RE-INFECTION: sharp large rise in antibody titres
• RE-INFECTION/ RE-ACTIVATION: IgM is usually
low or absent
Monday, September 10, 2012
171. USE DEPENDS ON
PATHOGEN
• onset of clinical symptoms coincide with the
development of antibodies: e.g. rubella and hepatitis A
(IgM or rising titres of IgG in the serum of the patient would
indicate active disease)
• pathogen produce clinical disease before the
appearance of antibodies: e.g. respiratory and diarrheal
viruses (serological diagnosis would be retrospective and
therefore will not be that useful)
• pathogen produce clinical disease months or years
after seroconversion: e.g. HIV and rabies (the mere
presence of antibody is sufficient to make a definitive
diagnosis)

178. IMMUNOFLUORESCENCE
TECHNIQUE (IF)
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)
(a) Indirect technique: polyclonal rabbit
serum and a conjugated sheep anti-rabbit
serum; both were extensively absorbed to
remove unwanted antibodies
(b) Direct technique: mixture of three
monoclonal conjugated antibodies and Evans
blue counterstain (which, paradoxically, appears
red) = staining only those antigenic
concentrations for which there are antibodies
in the mixture

activity of an antigen can also
be known
• assessment of the capability
of a serum against bacterial
toxins, bacteria or viruses biobest.co.uk

181. SINGLE RADIAL
HEMOLYSIS
• E.g. Rubella antibody.
• LEFT PLATE: Control Plate
• RIGHT PLATE: well in the middle of the plate contains the 15 miu/ml control serum = clear
zone of lysis surrounding the well on the test plate which is absent on the control plate
• NOTE: Specimens which gives a zone of lysis equal or greater than the 15 miu/ml control
well are regarded as positive for rubella antibody. = Should a zone of similar size is present on
the control plate, then the result is not valid
Monday, September 10, 2012
182. RADIOIMMUNOASSAY
(RIA)
• used to quantitate antigens or haptens taht can
be radioactively-labeled
• based on competition for specific antibody
between the labeled (known) and the unlabeled
(unknown) concentration of the material
• complex that form between An/Ab can then be
separated and the amount of radioactivity
measured
Monday, September 10, 2012
183. RADIOIMMUNOASSAY
(RIA)
• concentration of the unlabeled (unknown)
antigen or hapten is determined by comparing
the results with those obtained using several
concentrations of a predetermined standard
antigen
• highly sensitive for:
• assay of hormones or drugs from serum
• measure amount of IgE with known allergen

an antigen or an antibody
• enzyme is detected by assaying for enzyme activity
with its substrate
• no need for radioactive labels

187. ELISA
technologyinscience.blogspot.com
• can detect the
ANTIGEN-
ANTIBODY reaction
by the use of enzyme-
linked antibodies
• based on the use of
labeled antibodies
(usually done with the
enzyme peroxidase) so
that the resulting
conjugates have both
immunological and
enzymatic activity
Monday, September 10, 2012
188. ELISA
• one of the components of the conjugate
(antibody or antigen) is attached to the plate, so
the antigen-antibody reaction can be easily
measured when adding the reaction substrate
• This substrate produces a colored reaction
product when it comes into contact with the
enzyme
• The color change can be seen or quantified with
a colorimeter
Monday, September 10, 2012
189. ELISA: ANTIGEN
DETECTION
• Sandwich ELISA
• plates are usually coated with an
antibody (monoclonal or polyclonal
antibody) against the unknown antigen
• sample that needs to be tested is added
to the wells, and if the antigen is
present, the antigen-antibody reaction
will take place
• add another antibody linked to an
enzyme.
• when the reaction substrate is added it
turns a color
Monday, September 10, 2012
190. ELISA: ANTIBODY
DETECTION
• INDIRECT ELISA: coating of
the ELISA plate with the antigen
against the specific antibodies
that may be present in the serum
• NEXT: addition of serum,
incubation and washing; addition
of the conjugate, incubation and
washing and finally, the addition of
the substrate, stopping the
reaction and reading the results
Monday, September 10, 2012
191. ELISA: ANTIBODY
DETECTION
• COMPETITIVE ELISA: have an
antibody (monoclonal of polyclonal) of
a known antigen which has previously
been bound to the plate
• competitive because the serum is
incubated with the antigen previous to
its incubation with the antiserum
bound to the plate = both compete for
the antigen
• NEXT: addition of the conjugate,
incubation, washing, and finally,
substrate addition and reading the
results
