The Common

To assemble an indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for estimating two strobilurin fungicides at the same time, the hapten was synthesised which contained the common active group, (E)-2-(2-bromo-phenyl)-2-(methoxyimino) acetic acid methyl ester (OEBr) in kresoxim-methyl and trifloxystrobin. The immunogen and coating antigen were respectively prepared through conjugating the above-mentioned hapten with BSA and OVA by the mixed anhydride and activated ester methods, and polyclonal antibodies were produced by immunised rabbits. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was developed for simultaneous detection of kresoxim-methyl and trifloxystrobin. In ELISA, the antiserum showed high affinity and sensitivity to kresoxim-methyl and trifloxystrobin, and their IC<sub>50</sub> value and detection limit (expressed as IC<sub>10</sub>) were 14.7 and 0.0044 µg/ml, respectively, for kresoxim-methyl, and 22.9 and 0.014 µg/ml, respectively for trifloxystrobin. The cross-reaction rate was below 0.1% for other strobilurin fungicides. Recovery study of ELISA from spiked samples of homogenised peeled oranges (final concentrations of 100, 10, and 1 µg/ml) resulted in recovery levels in the range of 82–104%.

Abstract This enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay procedure for quantifying serum amyloid P (SAP) in human plasma makes use of affinity-purified polyclonal antibodies to SAP in a "sandwich"-type format. The procedure is sensitive, reproducible, simple, and easily automatable. Results correlate well with those by a rocket immunoelectrophoresis method performed with the same antibodies. Sera from apparently normal individuals had a mean SAP content of 44.17 mg/L and increased with age.

SummaryAn indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was successfully developed for the detection of defined amounts of cows' milk (1–50%) in sheeps' milk and cheese. The assay used polyclonal antibodies raised in rabbits against bovine caseins (BC). The anti-BC antibodies were recovered from the crude antiserum by immunoadsorption and elution from a column containing BC. The antibodies were biotinylated and rendered cows' milk specific by mixing them with lyophilized ovine and caprine caseins. ExtrAvidin-peroxidase was used to detect the biotinylated anti-BC antibodies bound to BC immobilized on 96-well plates. Subsequent enzymic conversion of substrate gave clear absorbance differences when assaying mixtures of sheeps' milk and cheese containing variable amounts of cows' milk.

A Priority

Abrin is a toxic ribosome-inactivating protein present in beans of Abrus precatorius, also known as rosary peas. The possibility that abrin could be used to adulterate food has made the development of assays for the detection of abrin a priority. Rabbit-derived polyclonal antibodies and mouse monoclonal antibodies were prepared against a mixture of abrin isozymes. The specificity and cross-reactivity of the antibodies were evaluated against a challenge library of 40 grains, nuts, legumes, and foods. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and an electrochemiluminescence (ECL)–based assay were assembled and optimized. Polyclonal (capture) and polyclonal (detection) ELISAs, polyclonal and monoclonal ELISAs, and polyclonal and monoclonal ECL assays had limits of detection (LODs) of 0.1 to 0.5 ng/ml for abrin in buffer. The LOD for abrin dissolved into juices, dairy products, soda, chocolate drink, and condiments and analyzed with the ECL assay ranged from 0.1 to 0.5 ng/ml in the analytical sample. In contrast, the LODs for the ELISAs ranged from 0.5 to 10 ng/ml in the analytical sample.

ABSTRACT Ureaplasma urealyticum comprises 14 serotypes. The existing serotyping methods all use polyclonal antibodies. These methods are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and they cannot always be performed on primary isolates; in addition, the results are difficult to interpret. We developed a new enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method using serotype-specific monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to enable the serotyping of U. urealyticum isolates from primary broth cultures. Each of the 14 serotype reference strains was tested against 14 selected MAbs. Homologous reactions were very strong, while heterologous reactions were negligible. Three cross-reactions were observed: MAb 5 cross-reacted with serotype 2, MAb 14 cross-reacted with serotype 3, and MAb 8 cross-reacted with serotype 13. Despite the cross-reactions observed, all the serotype reference strains ofU. urealyticum could be identified and differentiated using a combination of MAbs. Reproducibility was analyzed with a fractionated antigenic preparation and with several freshly prepared antigens of the same strain. No significant interrun variation was found with the fractionated antigen, but significant variations in optical density (OD) values were found when freshly prepared antigens were tested. However, the variation in OD values did not influence the overall interpretation of the ELISA: reactions with homologous MAbs were always prominent compared to those of the negative controls. This newly developed ELISA using MAbs seems promising for serotyping of U. urealyticum clinical isolates.
