Analysis Biomolecular Interactions of Fab with Fc Receptor by BLI (CAT#: STEM-MB-0162-CJ)

Introduction

Antibodies consist of two structural regions: a variable fragment (Fab) that mediates antigen binding and a constant fragment (Fc) that mediates downstream effector functions via its interaction with Fc-receptors on (innate) immune cells or with C1q, the recognition molecule of the complement system. Fab (fragment, antigen binding) region is composed of one constant and one variable domain from each heavy and light chain of the antibody. And the Fc region of antibody molecules mediates interaction with many of the effector functions of the immune system following antigen binding.

Principle

Bio-Layer Interferometry (BLI) is an optical technique for measuring macromolecular interactions by analyzing interference patterns of white light reflected from the surface of a biosensor tip. BLI experiments are used to determine the kinetics and affinity of molecular interactions. In a BLI experiment, one molecule is immobilized to a Dip and Read Biosensor and binding to a second molecule is measured. A change in the number of molecules bound to the end of the biosensor tip causes a shift in the interference pattern that is measured in real-time.

Applications

Oncology & Cancer; Immunology/Inflammation; Pharmacology

Procedure

1. Detect Buffers and prepare samples. BLI experiments are set up with one molecule immobilised on the surface of the biosensor (load sample) and a second molecule in solution (the analytical sample).
2. Fix the load sample on the biocompatible biosensor while the analytical sample is in solution.
3. The biosensor tip is immersed in the solution so that the target molecule begins to bind to the analysis sample.
4. Set up and run the BLI experiment. Molecules bound to or dissociated from the biosensor can generate response curves on the BLI system; unbound molecules, changes in the refractive index of the surrounding medium or changes in flow rate do not affect the interferogram pattern.
5. Collect and analyse data on the BLI's system.
