Polystyrene beads with a mean diameter of 0.76 μm were coupled with protein G and then anti-type II collagen IgG or anti-chondroitin-4-sulphate IgG were tagged to protein G. Antibody-tagged beads were applied to articular cartilage and labelled beads were counted in each sample. Antibody-tagged beads labelled significantly higher than IgG isotype control. We propose immuno-SEM using protein G coupled beads as a valuable method for micrometre range observation for specific protein distribution on surfaces of tissues or organs. This will provide information about structure as well as antigenicity on the surface at the same time.
将平均直径为0.76μm的聚苯乙烯珠与蛋白G偶联,然后将抗II型胶原IgG或抗硫酸软骨素-4-硫酸酯IgG标记到蛋白G上。将抗体标记的珠子应用于关节软骨,并对每个样本中的标记珠子进行计数。抗体标记的珠子标记显著高于IgG同型对照。我们提出使用蛋白G偶联珠的免疫扫描电子显微镜作为一种有价值的方法,用于在微米范围内观察组织或器官表面的特定蛋白质分布。这将同时提供有关表面结构和抗原性的信息。
