Quantitation of radiolabeled antibody binding to cells by thin-layer chromatography.
Thin layer chromatography (TLC) was used to monitor binding of radiolabeled antibodies to cells. Labeled antibodies were reacted with cells and aliquots chromatographed on serum-blocked, ITLC strips. The cell-antibody complexes remain at the origin and unbound antibody migrates with the solvent front. The antibody binding was estimated from the ratio of radioactivity at the origin compared to the total applied. Separations are completed in about 10 min. This method does not use centrifugation or wash steps, and provides an inexpensive and self-contained system to evaluate radioligand binding. Cell binding assay results using this method are approximately the same as those obtained using bead- or cell-type assays.
