A new approach is described to immunoblotting in which antigens after isoelectric focusing are captured on nitrocellulose membranes coated with a specific antibody. The method has been applied to the analysis of human IgA ϰ and λ from whole blood and serum without prior purification. The visualized bands were quantified by laser densitometry in four p I ranges. It is concluded that, under the conditions used, close to 100% of serum IgA is captured. The method has a coefficient of variation of 4.5–12.8%, mean 8.0%.
