Separation of bovine serum albumin and its monoclonal antibody from their immunocomplexes by sodium dodecyl sulfate-capillary gel electrophoresis and its application in capillary electrophoresis-based immunoassay

J Chromatogr B Biomed Sci Appl. 1999 Aug 20;731(2):389-94. doi: 10.1016/s0378-4347(99)00234-0.

Abstract

A non-competitive immunoassay was performed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-capillary gel electrophoresis with UV detection using bovine serum albumin (BSA) and monoclonal anti-BSA. BSA, anti-BSA and their immunocomplexes were well resolved under non-denaturing conditions. A linear calibration curve was obtained and can be used for the quantification of anti-BSA. The limit of detection of anti-BSA was 0.1 microM under the present conditions. Compared with capillary zone electrophoresis, we believed that this method has the potential to be used as a more general format for performing capillary electrophoresis-based immunoassay of medium- and large-sized analytes.
