To investigate the presence of antibodies in myasthenia gravis (MG) patients, we have developed a new reproducible and sensitive enzyme immunoassay (EIA-AChR), in which a β€ subunit-specific monoclonal antibody (mAb 73) immobilizes fetal calf acetylcholine receptors (AChRs). We tested 92 MG patients

β¦ Synopsis
Traditionally radioactively labeled iodine has been used as a reporter group for the detection of antibodies in immunoassay. We have recently developed a microassay system for the detection of very low concentrations of iodide which eliminates the need for the use of radiolabeled iodine (O'Kennedy, R. et al. 1989, Anal. Biochem. 179, 138-144). The successful application of this assay for the detection of mouse IgG is described. The performance of this system compared with enzyme immunoassay was evaluated.

A recently available immunochemiluminometric assay (ICMA) for TSH developed by Ciba Corning Corp. has been evaluated. This system (Magic Lite) uses an acridinium-ester-labelled antibody and magnetizable particle for bound-free separation. In each assay only t w o calibrators are carried out and used

The enzyme immunoassay antinuclear antibody (EIA ANA) screening test method is a new assay format for the qualitative determination of antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) in human serum or plasma. This assay method collectively detects ANAs against double stranded DNA (dsDNA), SS-AIRo, SS-BILa, Scl-70, Sm
