RESUMO
An antigen-antibody system of polystyrene tubes coated with immunoglobulin antibody was used for quantitating immunoglobulins. A similar radioimmunoassay method was adapted for a viral antigen-antibody system. The viral system can be used for quantitating viruses and for measuring virus-specific antibodies by reacting with 125iodine-labeled anti-immunoglobulin G (IgG). Optimal conditions for coating the solid phase, specificity of the immune reaction, and other kinetics and sensitivities of the assay method were investigated. Comparison of direct and indirect methods of assaying for immunoglobulins or viral antibody indicates that the indirect method is more sensitive and can quantitate a minimum of 0.037 μg of IgG per ml. Results of solid-phase radioimmunoassay for influenza antibody correlate well with hemagglutinin antibody titers but not with complement-fixing antibody titers. Radioimmunoassay results for influenza antibody by solid phase are likewise in agreement with results by the carrier precipitate radioimmunoassay method. The simplicity, reproducibility, and versatility of the solid-phase procedure make it diagnostically useful.
