title: Correlation of murine anti-dinitrophenyl antibody content as determined by ELISA, passive cutaneous anaphylaxis and passive hemolysis.
abstract: Antibody contents of IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b and IgE were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in ascites and sera obtained from mice injected with hybridomas producing monoclonal anti-DNP antibodies. In addition, IgG1 and IgE antibodies from sera of immunized mice were also measured by ELISA. Concomitantly, antibody contents were also determined by passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) in mice for IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, by PCA in guinea pigs for IgG2a, by PCA in rats for IgE and by passive hemolysis (PL) for IgG2a and IgG2b. Good correlations were found in the investigated samples between ELISA and the biological determinations.
