A sandwich ELISA for testing whether pairs of monoclonal antibodies recognize the same native antigenic site was developed. The assay was performed with murine anti-lysozyme monoclonal antibodies. A monoclonal antibody, adsorbed onto a microtiter plate, was used as a capture antibody for native lysozyme. After the reaction with the antigen a second monoclonal antibody, the test antibody, was added. The amount of bound antibody was quantitatively measured using rabbit anti-mouse immunoglobulin serum conjugated to alkaline phosphatase. The simultaneous binding of pairs of monoclonal antibodies to lysozyme was further substantiated by structural considerations.
