Objectives: Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive microorganism. S. aureus can grow in various foods and cause food poisoning by secreting enterotoxins. The most common enterotoxins involved in food poisoning are staphylococcal enterotoxin A and staphylococcal enterotoxin B, but Staphylococcal Enterotoxin A (SEA) is predominant. The main types of food contaminated with SEs are meat and meat products, poultry and eggs, milk and dairy products. The aim of this study was to develop a rapid and sensitive fluorescence immunoassay for detection of staphylococcal enterotoxin A in milk. Methods: Monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies for SEA were produced and characterized. Competitive fluorescence immunoassay based on Magnetic Nanoparticles (MNPs) was performed and optimized. MNPs were used as a solid carrier of the antibodies. The first step of the assay was immunoreaction between the immobilized antibody onto MNPs and SEA in milk sample. Then the fluorescein-SEA conjugate was added to the sample. Thus, competitive immunoreaction between MNP-mAb/MNP-pAb with SEA and SEA-FITC was performed. These immuno-complexes were separated by a magnetic separator and the obtained supernatants were analyzed. The fluorescent signal from the excess of conjugated SEA was proportional to the SEA contained in the milk. The assay duration was only 30 min. Results: The fluorescence immunoassays performed with polyclonal antibody had linear ranges from 5 pg/mL to 100 ng/mL SEA in a buffer, and from 50 pg/mL to 50 ng/mL SEA in spiked milk samples. While the same assays performed with monoclonal antibody had linear ranges from 1 pg/mL to 20 ng/mL SEA in buffer, and from 10 pg/mL to 10 ng/mL SEA in spiked milk samples. The detection limits of the developed immunoassays performed in milk were: 48 pg/mL with polyclonal antibody and 9 pg/mL with monoclonal antibody. Conclusion: A rapid and sensitive fluorescence immunoassay based on magnetic nanoparticles with a polyclonal and monoclonal antibody for determination of staphylococcal enterotoxin A in milk was developed.

PURPOSE To establish the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) and define the toxicities of a single-dose infusion of PNU-214565, a recombinant Escherichia coli-derived fusion protein of Staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) and the Fab-fragment of the C242 monoclonal antibody in patients with advanced colorectal and pancreatic carcinomas. To investigate the capability of PNU-214565 to induce a superantigen (SAg) response resulting in cytokine production and tumor regression. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-one patients (age range, 39 to 76 years; median, 64; 12 men, nine women; 18 colorectal, three pancreatic cancers) were treated with a single 3-hour infusion of PNU-214565, with doses ranging from 0.01 to 1.5 ng/kg. All patients had prior chemotherapy and a good performance status Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group [ECOG] performance status [PS] = 0 [n = 10]; PS = 1 [n = 11]), 10 had prior radiation, and 18 had prior surgery. RESULTS Fever and hypotension were the most common toxicities. Fever of any grade occurred in 16 of 21 patients (76%): four of 21 (19%) with grade 2 and two of 21 (9.5%) with grade 3. Hypotension of any grade occurred in 13 of 21 (62%): four of 21 with grade 2 and one of 21 (5%) with grade 3. Interleukin-2 (IL-2) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) induction correlated with toxicity. In the two patients with grade 3 fever, peak IL-2 and TNF alpha levels were 2.9 IU/mL and 165 pg/mL, and 8.3 IU/mL and 245 pg/mL, respectively. Transient, > or = 50% decreases in circulating monocytes were observed in 17 of 21 patients as early as 0.5 hours (median time, 2 hours) from the start of infusion. Decreases (mean 33%) in circulating lymphocytes were observed in seven of 21 patients. All three patients with grade 3 toxicity were treated at the 0.5-ng/kg dose. The significance of baseline anti-SEA, human antimouse antibody (HAMA), CA242-soluble antigen levels, and T-cell receptor variable beta region (TCR V beta) subsets and histocompatibility leukocyte antigen-DR (HLA-DR) genotypes was assessed as possible predictors of toxicity. All toxicities were transient and easily managed. No grade 3 toxicity occurred at the higher dose levels. CONCLUSION PNU-214565, a SAg-based tumor targeted therapy, is safe when given as a single 3-hour infusion at doses up to 1.5 ng/kg. The MTD for a single dose was not determined. The safety of a repeated dose schedule is currently under investigation, beginning with doses determined to be safe in this trial.
