Fungi produce a series of toxic compounds on corn, especially Fumonisin B1 (FB1) toxin produced by Fusarium spp. and promoting cancer activity in humans and animals. This study aimed to the isolation and identification of fungi associated with local corn seeds and the detection for the presence of FB1 by using ELISA technique. Thirty samples of corn ears were collected from silos and markets in Baghdad city during the period from November 2018 to March 2019. The present study found that Fusarium was the dominant isolate among fungi in terms of the relative density 57.07%, followed by Aspergillus 31.17%, Rhizopus 3.36%, Alternaria 2.88%, Mucor 2.16%, Penicillium 1.92%, Trichothecium 0.96%, and Helminthosporium 0.48%. FB1 was detected in all samples of the silos and markets with a concentration range of 13.69 - 175.54 µg/kg. There were no significant differences in FB1concentration among samples collected from the silos and markets. Also, no relationship was found between the number of infected seeds by Fusarium spp. and FB1concentrations.

ELISA (Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) is a technique used to assess the quantification of peptide, protein, antibody and hormone levels, based on the principle of antigen-antibody binding. In the ELISA technique, antigen immobilization will be carried out on a solid surface, then bound with antibodies to form an antigen-antibody bond complex, where the antigen-antibody complex is bound to the enzyme. The detection signal in the form of a color change will be formed due to the reaction between the enzyme and the substrate.

This study aimed to compare estrous performance and progesterone concentration during the estrous cycle of kacang goats induced by PGF2α versus ovsynch protocol. This research used six female kacang goats. The goats were divided into two groups namely the K1 group which was induced by injecting 7.5 mg PGF2α intramuscularly in 10 days interval and K2 group which was induced by using the ovsynch method. Protocol for K2 group was as follow; at day 1, the goats were injected with 7.5 mg PGF2α; at day 8, they were injected with 50 µg GnRH; at day 15 they were injected with 7.5 mg PGF2α; at day 18 they were injected with 50 µg GnRH. Estrous were detected using male goat and visual observation. The blood samples were taken on days 7, 14, and 21 after estrous. Progesterone concentration was measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique. Intensity, onset, and duration of estrous in K1 group versus K2 group were 8.33±2.08 vs 7.00±1.00; 56.00±34.12 vs 36.00±20.78 hours; and 24.00±26.15 vs 24.00±20.78 hours, respectively (p>0.05). Level of progesterone hormone on day 7, 14, and 21 for K1 vs K2 were 0.812±0.710 vs 2.369±3.351; 5.051±7.754 vs 3.091±4.385 ng/ml; and 4.173±6.692 vs 3.562±4.113 ng/mL, respectively (p>0,05). It can be concluded that the differences in synchronization protocols between PGF2α versus ovsynch do not affect the performance of estrous and the concentration of progesterone during the estrous cycle of kacang goats.

AbstractA sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test was developed to detect blood-meals in insects and identify the host fed on. The test proved both sensitive and specific. Very small quantities of fresh blood (about 0·02 μl) can be detected; in practice, this enables blood in mosquitoes which are about three-quarters gravid to be identified. In trials in both Zambia and Britain, positive reactions were easily identified visually; consequently, this enabled the ELISA technique to be used as a routine field test. In addition to those of mosquitoes, blood-meals of a few Culicoides species were also successfully identified.

The site of sequestration of the storage proteins legumin and vicilin during development of cotyledons from pea (Pisum sativum L.) has been determined using improved immunocytochemical techniques. Antibodies to legumin and vicilin were made monospecific by affinity chromatography. They were allowed to react on sections of glycol methacrylate-embedded cotyledon tissue and detected by indirect immunocytochemical localization using rhodamine-labelled antibodies. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique was adapted to verify antibody specificity at a sensitivity up to 300 times greater than that of immunodiffusion. Legumin and vicilin 4 are localized in small peripheral deposits within large vacuoles as early as day 8 after flowering. As the vacuoles fragment during development the storage proteins continue to be localized in the vacuolar deposits until, at day 16, they entirely fill vacuoles, now termed protein bodies. Thereafter, the protein bodies become more densely packed and retain a similar form from day 22 to maturity. Wherever the same vacuolar deposit of protein body could be observed in adjacent sections, antilegumin and antivicilin 4 labelled both deposits, clearly indicating that both storage proteins are sequestered into the same area of protein.

Abstract Peanut seeds were tested by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for peanut stripe virus without affecting their viability. A portion of cotyledon (0.02–0.05 g) was removed from the end of the seed opposite the radicle and triturated in an antigen buffer. Virus was frequently detected in extracts of cotyledons and embryos but seldom in the testa. Portions of one infected seed in ten could be detected. Correlations among ELISA, infectivity assays, and growing out tests were obtained. The ELISA technique has the advantage of detecting individual infected seed allowing the elimination of the infected ones. Identified infected seed can be used for preservation of virus cultures.

Abstract I describe a simple enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the quantitation of Factor VIII-related antigen in plasma with use of commercially available peroxidase-labeled antiserum and solid-phase support. Regression analysis of 85 plasma samples analyzed by this technique (y) and by a commonly used electroimmunoassay (Anal. Biochem. 15: 45-52, 1966) (x) gave the equation y = 0.223 + 0.77x (r = 0.973). The present method was also compared with enzyme immunoassay in which a phosphatase-labeled antiserum prepared in our laboratory was used; the correlation between the two assays was very good. The simplicity and specificity of the ELISA technique should make it a useful alternative to the more difficult and time-consuming Laurell method.
