RPCI LFC WAYS ANTIBODIES BIND TO CELLS Specific: Fab to epitope Fc to Fc receptor binding is high affinity and saturable Non Specific: binding is low affinity and not saturable
[F(ab') ] RPCI LFC Specific Activity is the concentration of bindable antibody to its epitope divided by the protein concentration. 2 SA = (protein)
RPCI LFC Reasons Antibodies do not bind to cells: • overconjugation • not purified • degradation of binding site • aggregation
RPCI LFC STORING OF ANTIBODIES : Proteases destroy antibodies in: • ascitic fluid • serum • bacteria Use sodium azide Use highly purified albumin or gelatin as carrier Purify antibodies immediately

INTRACELLULAR EPITOPES RPCI LFC
FACTORS THAT AFFECT DETECTION AFTER FIXATION • destruction of epitope by denaturation • loss of antigen by extraction • masking epitope by cross-linking • non-specific binding due to low affinity antibody by manufacture • cross-reacting products by GOD
VERIFYING ANTIBODY SPECIFICITY CELLS • positive target cell lineage for antibody • genotypically identical negative target cell lineage • several different surrogate positive target cell lineages • several different negative target cell lineages
VERIFYING ANTIBODY SPECIFICITY PROCESS • western blot • evaluation of Ka
In the beginning there is a high extracellular antibody concentration.
Antibodies diffuse relatively fast into the cell down the electrochemical gradient and bind specifically and non-specifically.
BARRIERS TO INTRACELLULAR STAINING • immobilized epitope decreases antibody binding affinity • molecular crowding limits diffusion • fixation induced epitope degradation • fixation induced epitope obstruction
BARRIERS TO SPECIFIC BINDING • molecular crowding increases non-specific binding • NSB reduces effective antibody concentration • washing efficiency reduced due to slow off-rate • multiple targets specificity with different epitope affinities (e.g. multiple bands on a western blot)
So, what is the answer? Only one. Antibodies of high affinity so that there is a low free antibody concentration to begin with!
