Detection of antigens and antibodies by an immuno-peroxidase method applied on thin longitudinal sections of SDS-polyacrylamide gels.
This paper describes a method for detection of antigens in thin sections of SDS-polyacrylamide gels. This method, called SGIP, involves longitudinal sectioning of SDS gels, fixation of the proteins in the gels, removal of the SDS, incubation of the sections with an antiserum and detection of antigens by the indirect immuno-peroxidase technique. The method is useful for assessing the affinity spectrum of a given antiserum against a heterogeneous mixture of proteins, and for the detection of proteins in tissue homogenates or other protein mixtures by means of well defined antisera. By applying the method to serial sections from a single SDS-polyacrylamide gel, a dilution dependent reactivity of antisera is demonstrated.
