Abstract

In general immunoassays, secondary antibodies are covalently linked with enzymes and bind to the Fc region of target-bound primary antibodies to amplify signals of low-abundant target molecules. The antibodies themselves are obtained from large mammals and are further modified with enzymes. In this study, we developed novel recombinant immunoglobulin G (IgG)-binding luciferase-based signal amplifiers (rILSAs) by genetically fusing luciferase (Nluc) with antimouse IgG1 nanobody (MG1Nb) and antibody-binding domain (ABD), individually or together, in a mix-and-match manner. We obtained three different highly pure rILSAs in large quantities using a bacterial overexpression system and one-step purification. Mouse-specific rILSA, MG1Nb-Nluc, and rabbit-specific rILSA, Nluc-ABD, selectively bound to target-molecule-bound mouse IgG1 and rabbit IgG primary antibodies, whereas the bispecific rILSA, MG1Nb-Nluc-ABD, mutually bound to both mouse IgG1 and rabbit IgG primary antibodies. All rILSAs exhibited an outstanding signal-amplifying capability comparable to those of conventional horseradish-peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies, regardless of the target molecules, in various immunoassay formats, such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent...Continue Reading

Antibody Specificity

Antibodies produced by B cells are highly specific for antigen as a result of random gene recombination and somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. As the main effector of the humoral immune system, antibodies can neutralize foreign cells. Find the latest research on antibody specificity here.
