Analytical biochemistry, 2011•ElsevierThe evaluation of antibody avidity by elution with chaotropic agents is a frequently used
approach in research and diagnostics. It provides important information on the functional
relevance of antibodies. However, in the literature, there is a large heterogeneity in the
experimental settings for the determination of this important parameter. Here, we
demonstrate that antibody concentration and the choice of chaotropic agent are critical for
the reliable estimation of antibody avidity.
