Abstract

The influence of alkylhydroxybenzene (AHB) homologues of various hydrophobicity on antibody interaction with corresponding antigens under denaturing conditions (functional stability) and suboptimal conditions (operational stability) was revealed. AHBs were found to modulate the antibody sensitivity to heat denaturation and UV irradiation and expand the pH range of activity in different directions. These effects were found to depend upon the specific chemical nature and the AHB concentrations applied. Mechanisms of the AHB effect and possible perspectives of their use as antibody stabilizers are discussed.
