Lalani1, Sining Zhu1, Ping Xie2,3 1Department of Cell Biology and Neuroscience and Graduate Program in Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology, Rutgers University, 2Department of Cell Biology and Neuroscience, Rutgers University, 3Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey In this paper, we describe a protocol to characterize T-dependent and T-independent immunoglobulin (Ig) isotype responses in mice using ELISA. This method used alone or in combination with flow cytometry will allow researchers to identify differences in B cell-mediated Ig isotype responses in mice following T-dependent and T-independent antigen immunization.
