X Abstract

In attempting to use the BIAcore instrument for the determination of binding constants of several haptens or peptides to different antibodies by measuring on- and off-rates, we found that neither the absolute nor the relative values of the binding constants corresponded to the measurements in solution. Even at the lowest coupling densities useful for measurements, rebinding and bivalency effects offset the measurements by a factor of up to 500. We caution therefore about using on- and off-rates for the determination of absolute or even relative binding constants without controlling for rebinding and avidity effects. Instead, we show that binding constants in solution can be reproduced well by using on-rate determinations of antibody preincubated with antigen, and we derive the conditions under which such an approach is valid.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
