Abstract

Antigen-antibody reactions using Nα, Nε-bis(2,4-dinitrophenyl) l-lysine as an anionic hapten were examined in the presence of various cationic bilayer membranes. The turbidity change of the mixture provided information on the dispersion state of bilayer membranes. The degree of the turbidity change was closely related to the concentration of the haptens and the antibodies. In addition, the agglutination was remarkably dependent on the chemical structure of matrix amphiphiles, and there were two variants of the agglutination mode when the antigen-antibody reaction was examined at 35°C: one showed turbidity decrease with the hapten-antibody reaction and the other one did increase. According to DSC studies, the difference is attributable to different physical states resulting from the phase transition of matrix membranes.
