To develop a competitive indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay based on polyclonal antibodies for the detection of the sulfonylurea herbicide bensulfuron-methyl, seven structurally related haptens were synthesized. Four of them mimicking the target analyte were conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin by the N-hydroxysuccinimide activated ester method to use as immunogens, and all of them were conjugated to bovine serum albumin to use as plate-coating antigens. Polyclonal antibodies raised in rabbits and the coating antigens were screened and selected for the assay in simple homologous and heterologous ELISA formats. Three sensitive heterologous ELISAs were selected and optimized, showing the average IC(50) values of bensulfuron-methyl as low as 0.17, 0.09, and 0.09 ng/mL, the detection ranges of 0.04-0.60, 0.01-0.60, and 0.04-0.25 ng/mL, and the lowest detection limits of 0.03, 0.002, and 0.03 ng/mL, respectively. The cross-reactivities of other sulfonylurea herbicides and metabolites of bensulfuron-methyl to the antibodies were less than 15% in the two assays. Recoveries from the analyte-fortified water samples in assay I were in the range of 81-125% by simple dilution. The correlation between the ELISA and HPLC was 0.999 (n = 15) with a slope of 1.37 in the analysis of groundwater samples fortified with bensulfuron-methyl. The results obtained strongly indicate that the ELISA can be a highly sensitive and convenient tool for detecting bensulfuron-methyl residues in agricultural and environmental samples.  相似文献

To develop an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the fungicide fenarimol, two synthesized haptens, haptens-1 and -2, and the purchased 4,4'-DDA were conjugated to carrier proteins (BSA, KLH, and OVA). Polyclonal antibodies raised against hapten-1,2-KLH conjugates in rabbits and the coating antigens of hapten-1,2-BSA conjugates, hapten-2-OVA conjugate, and 4,4'-DDA-BSA conjugate were screened and selected for the homologous and/or heterologous ELISA formats. Two competitive indirect ELISAs were selected: assays I and II. The optimized ciELISAs of assays I and II showed average IC(50) values of fenarimol of 5.4 and 9.4 ng/mL, detection ranges of 1.1-25.9 and 1.1-82.7 ng/mL, and lowest detection limits of 0.3 and 0.3 ng/mL, respectively. The cross-reactivities with several structurally related compounds indicated the importance of the steric fitness in the antigen-antibody interaction. Recoveries of fenarimol from apple and pear samples spiked with the analyte by assay I were in the range of 93-113% by simple extraction, concentration, and dilution. This assay could be a convenient and supplemental analytical tool for monitoring fenarimol residues in environmental and agricultural samples.  相似文献

A competitive indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ciELISA) for the organophosphorus insecticide acephate, O,S-dimethyl acetylphosphoramidothioate, was developed using a polyclonal antibody. Five different haptens mimicking the analyte were synthesized and conjugated with the carrier proteins bovine serum albumin (BSA) and keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) by the N-hydroxysuccinimide active ester and diazotization methods. Polyclonal antibodies raised against hapten-KLH conjugates in rabbits and hapten-BSA conjugates as coating antigens were screened and selected for the assay in the homologous and heterologous ELISA systems. The effects of various assay conditions such as detergent, organic solvents, pH, and preincubation of the mixture of the polyclonal antibody and the analyte on the sensitivity were evaluated. The IC(50) value for acephate was 25 ng/mL in an optimized heterologous system using hapten-4-BSA as a coating antigen and a polyclonal antibody no. 8377 against hapten-1-KLH, showing the detection range of 5-140 ng/mL and the lowest detection limit of 2 ng/mL. The cross-reactivities of the structurally related organophosphorus insecticides, including the major metabolite of the analyte, methamidophos, were less than 1%. Recoveries from the analyte-fortified tap water, mulberry leaves, and lettuce samples in the assay were in the range of 72-121% by simple extraction, concentration, and dilution. These results indicate that the ELISA could be a convenient and supplemental analytical tool for monitoring acephate residues in environmental and agricultural samples.  相似文献

Two enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) for the insecticide azinphos-methyl have been optimized and characterized. Both ELISAs are based on monoclonal antibodies produced from an immunogen with a hapten containing a phthalimido moiety and on protein conjugates of heterologous ligands containing a 1,2,3-benzotriazine group. Assay I was performed in the conjugate-coated ELISA format and assay II in the antibody-coated format. Several physicochemical factors (ionic strength, pH, incubation times, and Tween 20 and BSA concentrations) that influence assay performance were studied and optimized. Regarding specificity, both monoclonal immunoassays highly cross-reacted with azinphos-ethyl and phosmet. Finally, both assays were applied to the analysis of azinphos-methyl in spiked real water samples. For assay I the sensitivity, estimated as the I(50) value, was 0.40 nM, with a practical working range between 0.10 and 1.75 ng/mL and a limit of detection of 0.05 ng/mL. For assay II the sensitivity was 1.01 nM, with a practical working range between 0.32 and 2.54 ng/mL and a limit of detection of 0.08 ng/mL.  相似文献

A competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for the quantitative detection of the organophosphorus insecticide bromophos-ethyl. Four bromophos-ethyl derivatives (haptens) were synthesized and were coupled to carrier proteins through the pesticide thiophosphate group to use as an immunogen or as a coating antigen. Rabbits were immunized with either one of two haptens coupled to bovine serum albumin for production of polyclonal antibodies, and the sera were screened against one of the haptens coupled to ovalbumin. Using the serum with highest titer, an antigen-coated ELISA was developed, which showed an IC(50) of 3.9 ng/mL with a detection limit of 0.3 ng/mL (20% inhibition). An antibody-coated ELISA using an enzyme tracer was also developed, which showed an IC(50) of 6.5 ng/mL with a detection limit of 1.0 ng/mL (20% inhibition). The antibodies showed negligible cross-reactivity with other organophosphorus pesticides except with the insecticides bromophos-methyl and chlorpyrifos in the antibody-coated assay only. Recoveries of bromophos-ethyl from fortified crop and water samples ranged from 82 to 128% and from 95 to 127%, respectively.  相似文献

This paper reports on the generation of monoclonal antibodies and the development of a new enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of molinate (S-ethyl hexahydroazepine-1-carbothioate). Hybridoma cells were generated using spleen and lymph node cells from a mouse immunized with S-2-carboxyethyl hexahydroazepine-1-carbothioate conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin. After screening with a competitive ELISA, two monoclonal antibodies, mAbs 16C11 and 14D7, with IC(50) values of 82 +/- 2 and 173 +/- 8 ng/mL, respectively, were selected. MAb 16C11 can detect molinate concentrations of 1 ng/mL with no cross-reactivity to any other thiocarbamate pesticides; however, it was susceptible to the presence of organic solvents and to variation in buffer ionic strength. MAb 14D7 tolerated concentrations up to 5% of propylene glycol and 12.5% of acetonitrile in the assay buffer. The sensitivity of mAb 14D7 was further improved by decreasing the amount of coating antigen in the ELISA; the final inhibition assay showed an IC(50) of 69.2 +/- 1.4 ng/mL. In summary, mAb14D7 provided a more sensitive and robust assay, as compared with previous polyclonal antibody-based assays, with the additional advantage of being based upon a consistent and unlimited source of a defined reagent.  相似文献

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for the fungicide thiram. Two types of haptens were synthesized. The first type exhibits the two symmetrical N-alkyl dithiocarbamate patterns of thiram with a spacer arm linked to one of the N-methyl terminal group. The second type exhibits one of the two symmetrical N-alkyl dithiocarbamate patterns of thiram with a variable-length spacer arm linked to one sulfur atom. Polyclonal antibodies suitable for thiram detection were obtained from immunization with an hapten of the first type, while haptens of the second type were used as coating antigens to develop a competitive ELISA against thiram. The IC(50) value for thiram was estimated to be 0.24 microg/mL, with a detection limit of 0.03 microg/mL. The assay seems to be thiram-specific since no or little cross-reaction with other dithiocarbamates were observed.  相似文献

To quantify Triticum aestivum xylanase inhibitor (TAXI) and xylanase inhibiting protein (XIP) type proteins in cereals in general and wheat ( T. aestivum) in particular, a robust enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using an uncommon enzyme-antibody sandwich format was developed. Bacillus subtilis glycoside hydrolase family (GH) 11 and Aspergillus oryzae GH 10 xylanases were selected for coating ELISA plate wells to capture TAXI and XIP, respectively, prior to probing with antibodies. The detection threshold of the developed ELISA was much lower than that of the currently used xylanase inhibitor assay and the recently described Western blot approach. Because of its broad dynamic range (TAXI, 30-600 ng/mL, and XIP, 3-60 ng/mL), one proper standard extract dilution can be used for analyzing different wheat varieties, whereas for the currently used colorimetric assay, often different dilutions need to be analyzed. The TAXI ELISA for wheat was successfully adapted for barley ( Hordeum vulgare) and could also be used for other cereals.  相似文献

A broad-specific ELISA using one antibody preparation for the detection of gentamicin, kanamycin, and neomycin in milk is reported for the first time. For the immunization of rabbits, neamin was used as the generic hapten on the basis of the facts that it is a two-ring fragment of neomycin and, in shape and charge, it resembles parts of kanamycin and gentamicin. Neamin was linked to the preactivated carrier protein keyhole limpet hemocyanin by EDC coupling. The specificity and sensitivity of the polyclonal antibodies for the aminoglycoside antibiotics were tested in a competitive assay using homologous and heterologous conjugates coupled by various conjugation procedures as the ELISA solid phase. In contrast to the homologous assay recognizing only neomycin, the heterologous assay could be used for the detection of the whole subclass of deoxystreptamin antibiotics in buffer and raw milk. Gentamicin, kanamycin, and neomcyin were detected in artificially contaminated undiluted raw milk (without sample pretreatment) with 50% inhibition levels at 9, 21, and 113 ng mL(-)(1), respectively. Neomycin levels were also measured in milk samples obtained from a cow suffering from mastitis and treated with an antibiotic cocktail including neomycin. Levels below the EU maximum residue levels for deoxystreptamin antibiotics could readily be measured in this generic ELISA.  相似文献

A monoclonal antibody (mab) selective for the thiomethyl-s-triazine herbicide simetryn was obtained and characterized in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). An IC(50) value for simetryn was 8.5 ng/mL, and the detection range extended from 1.1 to 70 ng/mL in ELISA. The cDNAs encoding variable heavy chain (VH) and variable light chain (VL) of the mab were cloned to produce various recombinant antibodies. Single-chain variable fragment (scFv) antibodies derived from the mab were characterized in ELISA and showed similar reactivities and specificities to the parent mab. A urea denaturation test revealed that the scFv antibodies bound to simetryn were more stable than those in the absence of antigen. A sandwich ELISA based on VH and VL fragments of the mab was successfully developed and showed similar sensitivity to those based on the mab and scFv antibodies in ELISA. In the recovery experiments using spiked environmental samples, the results obtained in ELISA based on the mab were favorably correlated with those by HPLC.  相似文献

A competitive indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was developed for the fungicide iprovalicarb, using a polyclonal antibody produced against a hapten conjugated through the carboxyl group on the benzene ring to keyhole limpet hemocyanin. Under an optimized condition using a heterologous format, an IC(50) of 3.51 ng/mL and the lowest detection limit of 0.065 ng/mL were obtained. When the isopropoxy group was removed from the iprovalicarb structure for the synthesis of a hapten, the resulting hapten was not successful as an immunogen, indicating that the isopropyl moiety was an important epitope, as evidenced by the cross-reactivities of some structurally related compounds. When applied to the real crop and water samples, the recoveries were in the range of 80.52-144.70% (n = 4) and 72.11-100.43% (n = 4), respectively. Accordingly, this ELISA can be used as a useful method for monitoring iprovalicarb residues in crop and water samples.  相似文献

Tetracycline (TC) is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used increasingly in animal husbandry to treat diseases or to promote growth as feed additives. To avoid using labor-intensive instrumental methods to detect residues of TC in food and food products, a simple and convenient indirect heterologous competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method for TC was developed using polyclonal antibody prepared in this study. Three new immunogens, TC-o-tolidine-bovine serum albumin (BSA), TC- 4-aminobenzoic acid-cationized BSA (cBSA), and TC-1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole-cBSA, were synthesized in this research to develop anti-TC antibodies. All antibodies raised in rabbits and coating antigens synthesized were screened and characterized using homologous and heterologous ELISA formats to select the best combination. An optimized ELISA gave an IC50 value of 3.92 mug/mL toward TC in PBS buffer. The specificity of the assay was studied by measuring cross-reactivity of the antibody with the structurally closely related compounds of chlortetracycline (112%) and oxytetracycline (<2%). The recovery rates from the TC-fortified raw milk samples were in the range of 74-116%, while the intra- and interassay coefficients of variation were <14.5 and <25.0, respectively.  相似文献

Polyclonal antibodies for domoic acid were generated from rabbits after the animals had been immunized with either domoic acid-keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) or domoic acid-bovine serum albumin (BSA). A competitive direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (cdELISA) and a competitive indirect ELISA (ciELISA) were used for the characterization of the antibodies and for analysis of domoic acid in blue mussels and clams. The antibody titers in the serum of rabbits immunized with domoic acid-KLH were considerably higher than those in rabbits immunized with domoic acid-BSA. The antibodies from the rabbits immunized with domoic acid-KLH were further characterized. In the cdELISA, the concentrations causing 50% inhibition (IC(50)) of binding of domoic acid-horseradish peroxidase to the antibodies by domoic acid and a domoic acid analogue, kainic acid, were found to be 0.75 and 200 ng/mL, respectively. In the presence of blue mussel matrix, the detection limit of domoic acid was <25 ng/g. The overall analytical recovery of domoic acid (25-500 ng/g) added to the blue mussels and then extracted with 50% aqueous methanol in the cdELISA was found to be 81.1%. The efficacy of cdELISA was also confirmed by the high-performance liquid chromatography method. Analysis of domoic acid in shellfish samples showed that 10 of the 15 shellfish examined were contaminated with domoic acid at levels of <50 ng/g.  相似文献

Competitive direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the immunochromatographic assay were developed using a monoclonal antibody to detect gentamicin in the animal plasma and milk. No cross-reactivity of the antibody was observed with other aminoglycosides based on competitive direct ELISA, indicating that the antibody is highly specific for gentamicin. On the basis of the standard curves, the detection limits were determined to be 0.9 ng/mL in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), 1.0 ng/mL in plasma, and 0.5 ng/mL in milk, respectively. Recoveries of gentamicin from spiked plasma and milk at levels of 25-100 ng/mL ranged from 85 to 112%. The concentration of intramuscularly injected gentamicin was successfully monitored in the rabbit plasma through competitive direct ELISA. The detection limits were estimated to be about 6 ng/mL of gentamicin in PBS, plasma, and milk using the colloidal gold-based immunochromatographic assay, which is suitable for the simple screening of gentamicin residues in the veterinary field. Observed positives can be confirmed using a more sensitive laboratory method such as competitive direct ELISA. Therefore, the assays developed in this study could complement each other as well as veterinary field and laboratory findings.  相似文献

This article presents the generation of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) with high specificity against 19-nortestosterone (NT) through cell fusion techniques and the development of a mAb-based indirect competitive ELISA (icELISA) method and colloidal gold-based immuno-chromatographic assay to detect NT residues in beef and pork samples. A modified carbodiimide method was employed to synthesize the artificial antigen, and BALB/c mice were used to produce anti-NT mAbs. On the basis of the checkerboard titration, an indirect competitive ELISA standard curve was established. This assay was sensitive and had a linear range from 0.03 to 38 ng/mL in phosphate buffered saline (PBS), with IC(50) and LOD values of 0.52 ng/mL and 0.01 ng/mL, respectively. Of all the competitive analogues, the produced mAb exhibited a high cross-reactivity to 17α-nortestosterone (83.6%), the main metabolite of NT in animal tissues. Except for moderate cross-reactivities with trenbolone (22.6%) and β-boldenone (13.8%), the other interference to the assay was negligible (<0.05%). In contrast, the strip test had a visual detection limit of 1 ng/mL in PBS, 2 μg/kg in beef, and 2 μg/kg in pork, respectively, and the results can be judged within 10 min. The ELISA and GC-MS results showed close correlation in beef (R2=0.9945) and in pork (R2=0.9977). Therefore, the combination of two immunoassays provides a useful screening method for quantitative or qualitative detection of NT residues in animal-origin products.  相似文献

To produce monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to the pesticide carbofuran, three compounds with carboxylic spacer arms of different lengths introduced at the carbamate group of the analyte structure were synthesized, conjugated to proteins, and used as immunizing haptens in mice. MAbs were subsequently characterized for affinity and specificity in the conjugate-coated format and in the antibody-coated format using newly synthesized compounds as heterologous assay haptens. Depending on the immunoreagent combination and assay format, competitive assays with I(50) values in the 1.2-10.2 nM (0.27-2.27 ng/mL) range were obtained. LIB-BFNB67 MAb in combination with the hapten BFNH, coupled either to horseradish peroxidase or to ovalbumin, was used to develop a direct and an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. Optimized immunoassays displayed very similar analytical characteristics, with an I(50) value around 0.7 ng/mL and a limit of detection around 0.08 ng/mL. Both immunoassays were able to tolerate the presence of methanol up to a 15% concentration. Compounds very similar in structure to carbofuran (benfuracarb, furathiocarb, bendiocarb, and carbofuran-hydroxy) exhibited cross-reactivity values in the 18-37% range, but major N-methylcarbamate pesticides were not recognized by the MAb. These immunoassays should reasonably allow the rapid, low-cost, and sensitive determination of carbofuran in food, in soils, and in the environment at levels of regulatory and practical importance.  相似文献

The applicability of an ELISA for detection and quantification of benalaxyl in red wine samples is described. The study of the influence of this matrix on the reliability of the assay indicates that red wine samples require a rapid and simple cleanup step before ELISA assay. Recovery and precision of the method were evaluated by spiking red wine samples with benalaxyl in the 0.5-24 ng/mL range. Benalaxyl can be determined with good accuracy and precision up to 0. 5 ng/mL in starting red wine samples (detection limit of 0.13 ng/mL). No false negative or positive results were obtained. Authentic red wine samples were analyzed by ELISA and by RP-HPLC. The amounts of benalaxyl found by ELISA were in good agreement with RP-HPLC analysis.  相似文献

Aflatoxin B1 (B1), T-2 toxin (T2), and ochratoxin A (OA) were assayed in a single extract from barley grain by using competitive enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) with monoclonal antibodies. B1 and T2 monoclonal antibodies were conjugated to horseradish peroxidase for direct competitive ELISA while an indirect competitive ELISA was used for OA determination. The competitive ELISA detected 0.1 ng/mL of B1, 10 ng/mL of T2, or 1 ng/mL of OA. Acetonitrile-0.5% KCl-6% H2SO4 (89 + 10 + 1) extracts of barley grain either were diluted 1:10 for direct assay or were subjected to a simple liquid-liquid cleanup procedure to concentrate the extract 10:1 before assay. For cleanup, water was added to the acetonitrile extract to partition water-soluble interfering substances, and then the mycotoxins were re-extracted with chloroform. The chloroform extract was evaporated to dryness and redissolved in Tris HCl buffer for ELISA. The mean recoveries from barley spiked with 4-60 ng/g of B1, 50-5000 ng/g of T2, and 5-500 ng/g of OA were, respectively, 93.8, 80.6, and 95.8%. The mean within-assay, inter-assay, and subsample coefficients of variation by ELISA of barley grain colonized with toxigenic fungi were less than 12% for B1 and OA but as high as 17% for T2.  相似文献

Contamination of food products with pepsin resistant allergens is generally believed to be a serious threat to patients with severe food allergy. A sandwich type enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed to measure pepsin resistant hazelnut protein in food products. Capturing and detecting rabbit antibodies were raised against pepsin-digested hazelnut and untreated hazelnut protein, respectively. The assay showed a detection limit of 0.7 ng/mL hazelnut protein or <1 microg hazelnut in 1 g food matrix and a maximum of 0.034% cross-reactivity (peanut). Chocolate samples spiked with 0.5-100 microg hazelnut/g chocolate showed a mean recovery of 97.3%. In 9/12 food products labeled "may contain nuts", hazelnut was detected between 1.2 and 417 microg hazelnut/g food. It can be concluded that the application of antibodies directed to pepsin-digested food extracts in ELISA can facilitate specific detection of stable proteins that have the highest potential of inducing severe food anaphylaxis.  相似文献

A sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been developed for detection of α-amylase in preharvest sprouted wheat and adapted to rapid field-use formats requiring 15–20 min to perform. Polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies were prepared to detect a mixture of high and low pI isozymes of α-amylase and high pI isozymes only. All antibodies detected α-amylase on immunoblots of either a crude wheat extract or of purified enzyme, but only the polyclonal antibodies functioned in a sandwich ELISA. Depending on the antibody combination, the tube ELISA detected either the high and low pI isozymes of α-amylase or the high pI isozymes only with a detection limit of ≈0.5–1.0 ng/mL of amylase. Wheats with falling numbers (FN) of <350 sec could be discriminated from sound wheats, with decreasing FN producing increasing assay color. Using 130 wheat grain samples, ELISA absorbances for detection of both high and low pI isozymes and of high pI isozymes only were highly positively correlated with amylase enzyme activity and negatively correlated with FN. The correlations were similar for detection of both isozyme families and for detection of high pI isozymes only. Analyses of three sets of wheat samples from different environments demonstrated that the relationship between ELISA absorbance and FN had little dependence on wheat cultivar. The precision of sample analysis using the field ELISA was similar to the precision of FN test apparatus.  相似文献
