Analysis Biomolecular Interactions of Antibody with Purified M. tuberculosis LAM by BLI (CAT#: STEM-MB-0232-CJ)
Introduction
LAM is a major immunomodulatory component of the mycobacterial CE implicated in many biological functions; typically, mannose-capped LAM is thought to be anti-inflammatory, whereas inositol phosphate-capped LAM is thought to be proinflammatory. Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by the bacillus Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Historically it has also been known as scrofula, Pott's disease, King's Evil, phthisis, and consumption, among others. Risk factors such as diabetes mellitus, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) co-infection, malnutrition, smoking, and alcoholism are associated with the development of TB.
Principle
Bio-Layer Interferometry (BLI) is an optical technique for measuring macromolecular interactions by analyzing interference patterns of white light reflected from the surface of a biosensor tip. BLI experiments are used to determine the kinetics and affinity of molecular interactions. In a BLI experiment, one molecule is immobilized to a Dip and Read Biosensor and binding to a second molecule is measured. A change in the number of molecules bound to the end of the biosensor tip causes a shift in the interference pattern that is measured in real-time.
Applications
Immunology/Inflammation; Microbiology
Procedure
1. Detect Buffers and prepare samples. BLI experiments are set up with one molecule immobilised on the surface of the biosensor (load sample) and a second molecule in solution (the analytical sample).
2. Fix the load sample on the biocompatible biosensor while the analytical sample is in solution.
3. The biosensor tip is immersed in the solution so that the target molecule begins to bind to the analysis sample.
4. Set up and run the BLI experiment. Molecules bound to or dissociated from the biosensor can generate response curves on the BLI system; unbound molecules, changes in the refractive index of the surrounding medium or changes in flow rate do not affect the interferogram pattern.
5. Collect and analyse data on the BLI's system.
