On-line immunoanalysis for bioprocess control

J Biotechnol. 1993 Dec;31(3):395-403. doi: 10.1016/0168-1656(93)90083-y.

Abstract

Immunoanalytical techniques such as ELISA are often used for the detection of proteins produced in cultivation processes. Owing to the difficulty of automating of the time-consuming traditional ELISA, there is an intense demand for a suitable on-line monitoring method. Combining well-known immunoassays with the FIA technique, we present the heterogeneous and the turbidimetric immuno-FIA methods. The following proteins were investigated with these FIA methods: thermostable pullulanase, IgG, antithrombin III, and recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator. In the cases of pullulanase and monoclonal mouse IgG, the turbidimetric immuno-FIA was used for on-line analysis of the cultivation process. Results are presented here to demonstrate the effectiveness and application of these immunoanalysis.
