摘要
The binding affinity of a monoclonal antibody to tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) was studied using a Fab'-peroxidase conjugate. Measurement of the enzymatic activity allowed the determination of the amount of free antibody present after ultracentrifugation of virus-antibody complexes at equilibrium. The method was very sensitive and allowed measurements over a 1000-fold range of antibody concns. The calculated affinity constant decreased about 25 fold when the antibody concn used in the binding assay was increased from 30 ng/ml to 35-mu-g/ml.
