Abstract

Three monoclonal antibodies raised against a purified human IgG3 paraprotein were found to exhibit a restriction profile for IgG3/G3m(u) and pan-igG specificity which was dependent on the assay system. When adapted to an IgG3 subclass capture ELISA, all three McAbs discriminated between paraproteins expressing G3m(u) and antithetical markers G3m(st). One of the antibodies (PNF69C) was selected and conditions were optimised for Gm typing purposes. Using this system G3m(u) could be detected on captured IgG3 derived from human sera. This system may prove useful in the elucidation of Gm allotype profiles.

      In general, to avoid generating antibodies which do not recognize the target in a specific assay, antibody screening should be performed using the assay method for which the antibody is intended. This phenomenon, referred to as assay restriction, is a crucial aspect of peptide antibody screening, which relates to how the antibody recognizes its target in the context of the assay applied [99,101,102]. Screening in inappropriate assays may denature or mask the epitope, for example, peptide antibodies that detect the denatured target protein in WB will not necessarily bind to the native protein free in solution or in fixated tissues or cultured cells.
