Applications
Unlabelled antibodies are often used to sensitive ELISA plates or during competition titration.
They can be used in immunoprecipitation, where it is better to use unpurified antibodies (globulin fraction).
The Fab is monovalent fragments of immunoglobulins, i.e. including one site for the fixation of the antigen.
They are prepared by enzymatic digestion (papain).
Like our others antibodies, they are purified by affinity chromatography and are thus particularly specific.
Fab fragments have certain advantages with respect to the entire antibodies in flow cytometry, immuno-histochemistry and immuno-cytology.
On the one hand their specificity is increased since they can no longer be bound in a non-specific way by their Fc part as entire Ig's are.
On the other hand their use also increades the sensitivity of the technique.
In fact, their small size enhances their penetration into tissues and cells as well as their availability for the antigens (particularly for Fab).
Finally, conjugated Fab's have a label/antigenic ratio that is twince as high compared to antibodies (except fluorescent conjugates).
