Summary for Patent: 6,437,099
Title: Fluorescene--activating antisera and IgG fraction therefrom
Abstract:An antiserum containing an antibody, which when combined with an immunogen having a nonfluorescent dye, confers fluorescent ability to the dye. In particular, an antiserum which confers fluorescent ability on a conjugate of an immunogenic substance and Malachite Green.
Inventor(s): Jibu; Masaki (Hamamatsu, JP)
Assignee: Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. (Shizuoka-Ken, JP)
Application Number:09/003,710
Patent Claims:1. An antiserum comprising an antibody directed against an antigen formed by conjugation of an immunogenic substance with Malachite Green; wherein the Malachite Green is nonfluorescent when said antibody and said Malachite Green are in non complexed form, and is fluorescent upon complexation of said antibody with said Malachite Green.

2. The antiserum according to claim 1, wherein the immunogenic substance is at least one member selected from the group consisting of bovine serum albumin, human serum albumin, egg albumin, bovine .gamma. globulin, equine serum globulin, human .gamma. globulin, ovine .gamma. globulin, bovine thyroglobulin, porcine thyroglobulin and hemocyanin.

3. An IgG fraction of an antiserum comprising an antibody directed against an antigen formed by conjugation of an immunogenic substance with Malachite Green; wherein the Malachite Green is nonfluorescent when said antibody and said Malachite Green are in non-complexed form, and is fluorescent upon complexation of said antibody with said Malachite Green.

4. The IgG fraction according to claim 3, wherein the immunogenic substance is at least one member selected from the group consisting of bovine serum albumin, human serum albumin, egg albumin, bovine .gamma. globulin, equine serum globulin, human .gamma. globulin, ovine .gamma. globulin, bovine thyroglobulin, procine thyroglobulin and hemocyanin.

5. A composition comprising an antibody directed against an antigen formed by conjugation of an immunogenic substance with Malachite Green; wherein the Malachite Green is nonfluorescent when said antibody and said Malachite Green are in non-complexed form and is fluorescent upon complexation of said antibody with said Malachite Green.

6. The composition according to claim 5, wherein the immunogenic substance is selected from the group consisting of bovine serum albumin, human serum albumin, egg albumin, bovine .gamma. globulin, equine serum globulin, human .gamma. globulin, ovine .gamma. globulin, bovine thyroglobulin, porcine thyroglobulin and hemocyanin.
