Abstract: Herein is reported a method for determining the binding interaction with a multimeric antigen of an antibody of the human IgG1 subclass that has at least two binding sites specifically binding to the antigen comprising the steps of 1) determining the binding affinity of the antibody for the multimeric antigen, and 2) incubating a mixture comprising the antibody and a polypeptide that is derived from lysine-gingipain of Porphyromonas gingivalis under conditions and for a time sufficient to cleave the antibody into Fabs and Fc-region, and determining the binding affinity of the Fabs of the antibody for the multimeric, whereby the binding affinity of the antibody to the multimeric antigen to be affinity-driven if the binding affinity determined in both steps are comparable and to be avidity-driven if the binding affinity determined in both steps are different.

Abstract: Polymer-printed fabrics are produced by applying to a textile fabric substrate, in a pre-determined pattern, an aqueous admixture consisting essentially of from about 1 and to about 45 percent of a substantially water-soluble acid dyeable polymer having a cationic charge in milliequivalents/gram of polymer of from about 0.01 to about 5. The aqueous admixture is further characterized as having a viscosity of from about 5 to about 50,000 centipoise. The wetted printed substrate is dried to remove substantially all the water and thereafter cured. The cured polymer printed substrate is then dyed with a dye admixture containing an acid dyestuff preferential to the polymer coated portion of the substrate.
