Abstract
125I-monoclonal IgG anti-gamma chain antibodies were conjugated to ferritin using glutaraldehyde as a bifunctional reagent. The molar ratio of IgG:ferritin:glutaraldehyde resulting in the highest yield was determined. Free IgG was separated from IgG bound to ferritin by sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation; free ferritin was separated from antibody-ferritin conjugates by differential salt precipitation. The IgF:ferritin molar ratio of the resulting product was 1:1.4, containing over 90% ferritin-IgG "monomers"; 70-90% of the 125I activity bound immunospecifically to sepharose-IgG or aggregated human globulin (AHG). The product was used as an immunologic EM marker for AHG. Monoclonal antibody-ferritin conjugates prepared by this method should prove useful for quantitative ultrastructural analysis of surface antigens.
