A Highly Sensitive and Convenient Method to Detect Monoclonal Antibodies against Acetylcholine Receptors

Abstract

Three methods were compared for detecting monoclonal antibodies against Narke japonica acetylcholine receptors as to the sensitivity of the detection and the convenience of operation. One of the methods involves the use of a microplate lid with 96 attached plugs that are immersed into opposite wells, and requires very simple operations. This method was found to be highly sensitive and could detect specific antibodies at levels of less than 150 pg/ml in the culture medium of hybridoma cells.
