title: Visualization of platelet glycoproteins Ib and IIIa by immunoenzymatic stain using avidin-biotin peroxidase complex.
abstract: A method is described here for the identification and quantitation of antigens by monoclonal antibodies. This method is based upon 1) separation (crossed-immunoelectrophoresis) and immunoprecipitation (rocket immunoelectrophoresis and crossed immunoelectrophoresis) of glycoproteins Ib and IIIa with a polyspecific antiserum; 2) binding of the non precipitating monoclonal antibody to glycoproteins precipitated by the rabbit antibody; 3) visualization of the monoclonal antibody with secondary biotinylated antibody and after addition of avidin biotin peroxidase complex, the peroxidase activity is detected by 4-Cl-1-naphtol. By this technique, the agarose gel plate could be stained directly and this allowed us to eliminate electrophoretic transblotting and radioactive compounds.
