[The dynamics of antigen-antibody complex formation in the presence of iodine-containing diagnostic agents]
Abstract
A mathematical model is proposed to describe the antigen-antibody complex formation under the immunoassay conditions, which allows the antibody-antigen affinity to be evaluated. In particular, it is established that the dissociation constant of the antigen-antibody complex (for antibodies to a tuberculous Mycobacterium) confidently increases (p > 0.95) in the following sequence of diagnostic kits: omnipak > Ultravist > melitrast > Triombrast. The method suggested for analysis of the influence of xenobiotics upon the antigen-antibody reaction can be used to reveal their possible side effects on the antigen-antibody complex formation in any particular case.
