Figure 2. Size distribution of antibody particles.
A. Comparison of unprocessed, lyophilized and dispersed 1B7 by DLS. All samples were diluted to 5 mg/ml in PBS. B. Effect of antibody concentration on particle size in dispersion buffer. At high concentration (200 mg/ml) in dispersion buffer, dynamic light scattering (DLS) detects only large particles of ~430 nm. Upon dilution below the threshold concentration for cluster formation in the dispersion buffer, concentrations of 2.5 and 1.25 mg/ml detect only particles of ~10 nm size, the expected size for monomeric IgG antibody. DLS data was analyzed by CONTIN.
