Stability of Polypeptide Immunoreactants and Polyvinyl Alcohol as a Blocking Agent on Polyester Cloth During Dry Storage

Abstract

During dry storage at 32°C for 70 days, polypeptide immunoreactants (rabbit IgG and rabbit anti-peroxidase antibody) adsorbed onto polyester cloth demonstrated no loss of immunoreactivity. Polyvinyl alcohol of molecular weight 30,000–70,000 provided a stable blocking capacity on the immunoreactant-adsorbed cloth without affecting immunoreactivity. Cloth-based enzyme immunoassay systems are suitable for field testing and transportation in the absence of refrigeration.
