Validation of dot blot immunoassay for measurement of complement opsonization of nanoparticles.
Journal of Immunological Methods 2024 April 3
Complement plays a critical role in the immune response toward nanomaterials. The complement attack on a foreign surface results in the deposition of C3, assembly of C3 convertases, the release of anaphylatoxins C3a and C5a, and finally, the formation of membrane attack complex C5b-9. Various technologies can measure complement activation markers in the fluid phase, but measurements of surface C3 deposition are less common. Previously, we developed an ultracentrifugation-based dot blot immunoassay (DBI) to measure the deposition of C3 and other protein corona components on nanoparticles. Here, we validate the repeatability of the DBI and its correlation with pathway-specific and common fluid phase markers. Moreover, we discuss the advantages of DBI, such as cost-effectiveness and versatility, while addressing potential limitations. This study provides insights into complement activation at the nanosurface level, offering a valuable tool for nanomedicine researchers in the field.
