A ProteOn™ XPR36 Protein Interaction Array System (Bio-Rad) was
used to measure the affinity of the monoclonal antibody 14-25-9 to His-tagged
recombinant PCNA. For the assay, a HTG sensor chip (#1765031) and ProteOn
Manager Version 3.1.0.6 (Bio-Rad Laboratories) were employed. After activation
of the chip using EDC/S-NHS amine coupling procedure, the ligand immobilization
process was performed with His-tagged recombinant PCNA and His-tagged IL2 as
control, at a flow rate of 30μl/min in different flow cells. Different
analyte (14-25-9) concentrations (0–100nM) were injected at a flow rate
of 40μl/min, with regeneration of the surface using 50mM NaOH after each
analyte. Data was analyzed using the bivalent binding model (40 (link)).
