ImmunofluorescenceUsed to:• localize antigens to specific cells or
subcellular structures• detect and quantify antibody
General Procedure:• incubate cells or tissue with antibody• detect Ag-Ab complex with conjugated
secondary antibody• fluorescence (examine under UV
illumination)• enzyme (substrate forms precipitate)

IFA Protocol
1. Prepare cells or tissue.
2. Incubate 1o antibody.
3. Wash.4. Incubate 2o
antibody.5. Wash.6. View under UV
illumination.
Preparation of Cells• section and mount tissues• grow adherent cells on micro-
scope slides or cover slips• affix suspension cells on
microscope slides• carry out incubations in
suspension• ± fixation • organic solvents• paraformaldehyde• <0.1% glutaraldehyde
• ± permeabilization (eg., detergents)
• surface labeling of unfixed cells

Dual-Labeling Experiments
•determine extent of co-localization•use 1o antibodies from different species and 2o antibodies labeled with different fluorochromes
•label 1o antibodies with different fluorochromes
![Page 8: flow cytometry gel electrophoresis immunoprecipitation (IP) immunoblotting microscopy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062805/56814d97550346895dbaee73/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Immuno-Electron Microscopy
• prepare samples• optimize fixation conditions• use resins that polymerize at RT
• ‘float’ grids on drops (1o and 2o abs, washes)• surface of section accessible to
antibodies (± 'etching')• 2o-Ab conjugated with colloidal gold• size ranges from 5-15 nm• enzyme linked (electron dense precipitate)

Ultrastructure vs. Labeling
• fixation conditions preserving ultrastructure lead to loss of labeling
• cryo-electron microscopy• special microtome and
stage
![Page 11: flow cytometry gel electrophoresis immunoprecipitation (IP) immunoblotting microscopy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062805/56814d97550346895dbaee73/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
AccessibilityProblems
• ultrasmall gold (<1 nm)• + silver
enhancement• ±pre-embedding

• Use same antigen with different antibodies• Quantify by serial dilutions

• bind antigen to 96-well microplate (or membrane)• neg. (and pos.) controls• purity?
• incubate with 1o and 2o antibodies• use soluble chromogenic
substrates in 96-well plates• quantify Ab or Ag

• measure absorbance with ELISA microplate reader

ELISA Variations
• radio-immunosorbent assay (RIA)

Biotin-Avidin Detection Systems
•label 1o- or 2o-Ab with biotin
•detect with avidin labeled with marker
•high affinity may increase sensitivity
•more steps
