title: Use of the enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent assay to monitor the purification of glycosphingolipid antigens by high-performance liquid chromatography.
abstract: An enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent assay (ELISA) technique has been applied to the analysis of glycosphingolipid fractions separated by high-performance liquid chromatography. Nanogram amounts of selected fractions were placed in microtiter wells and analyzed for glycosphingolipids carrying carbohydrate epitopes recognized by monoclonal antibodies using an avidin-biotin enzyme system (ABC reagents). A large number of fractions (more than 100) can be conveniently evaluated for the presence of glycosphingolipids recognized by one or more monoclonal antibodies in a single analysis. This method is a rapid and sensitive procedure for monitoring the purification of glycosphingolipid antigens and can be used in conjunction with immunostaining of glycosphingolipids separated by thin-layer chromatography.
