== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==

Small peptides with less than 1000 in molecular weight are not considered amenable to sandwich immunoassays due to their difficulty of simultaneous recognition by two antibodies. As an alternative, we attempted noncompetitive detection of small peptides by open sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (OS-ELISA) utilizing the antigen-induced enhancement of antibody VH/VL interaction. Taking fragments of human osteocalcin (BGP), a major non-collagen peptide produced in bone, as model peptides, OS immunoassay was performed using the cloned VH and VL cDNAs from two anti-BGP monoclonal antibodies either recognizing the N- or C-terminal fragment, respectively. When the clones were used for OS-ELISA with immobilized VL fragment and phage-displayed VH fragment, enhanced VH/VL interaction upon BGP addition was observed. Especially the clone for the C-terminal fragment showed a superior detection limit as well as a wider working range than those of competitive assay. The result was reproduced with purified VH-alkaline phosphatase and MBP-VL fusion proteins, where the latter was directly immobilized onto the microplate wells. The minimum detectable fragment was the hexamer including the C-terminus. This simple approach with a single monoclonal antibody with a short measurement time may prove a useful tool in immunodiagnostics as well as in proteomics research.
