Specific immunologic tolerance to bovine serum albumin (BSA) was induced in approximately one-half of the rabbits that had been primarily immunized and were prepared for a secondary antibody response to BSA. The state of tolerance lasted for several months in the majority of rabbits and was not easily terminated by immunization with human serum albumin followed by BSA.

Nanomaterials, such as magnetic nanoparticles have attracted significant attention of medical area due to their capacity to improve the performance of immunoassays. Therefore the aim of this work was to study the bovine serum albumin (BSA) conjugation in superparamagnetic (MNPs)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanoparticles with further characterization and application in enzyme-linked immunosorbent (ELISA) assay. The successful conjugation of BSA in MNPs- PMMA nanoparticles was confirmed by several techniques, including light scattering, zeta potential, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Lowry protein quantification assay. The superparamagnetic properties were confirmed by vibrating sample magnetometer. BSA conjugated MNPs-PMMA nanoparticles presented higher interactions with antibody than free BSA. The BSA + MNPs-PMMA nanoparticles (magnetic ELISA assay) reduced the time and increased the sensibility of traditional ELISA assay, reinforcing the idea that the use these nanomaterials are an excellent alternative for the immunoassays field.

Abstract Glycylglycylglycine was investigated as a reference standard for use in serum protein measurement by the biuret reaction. The tripeptide-biuret solution has a molar absorptivity of 96 at 565 nm, and absorbances at both 550 nm and 565 nm are proportional to concentration. By a manual reference procedure, the 550-nm absorbance of 1.0 g of tripeptide was equivalent to that given by 1.72 ± 0.03 g of human serum albumin or 1.43 ± 0.03 g of bovine serum albumin. By the Technicon N14b automated procedure, the absorbance of 1.0 g of tripeptide at 550 nm was equivalent to that of 1.81 ± 0.02 g of human serum albumin or 1.89 ± 0.03 g of bovine serum albumin. Results for serum protein analyses over the range 4.0 to 9.0 g/dl, when tripeptide or serum albumin was used to prepare calibration curves, showed mean differences of 0.15 g/dl in the manual mode and 0.08 g/dl in the automated mode.

This report evaluates the significance of antibody/bovine serum albumin (BSA) interactions as a risk factor for the diagnosis of acute hepatitis E. Serum samples from 40 patients with acute hepatitis E and from 40 age/sex matched healthy adult subjects were tested for IgA, IgG, and IgM by ELISA and by turbidimetric assay. BSA was used as a target to characterize changes in levels of interacting immunoglobulins. Initial results obtained before removal of antibodies that interacted with BSA suggested that HEV patients had increased levels of IgM in their sera. It was found that normal individuals had mean IgA, IgG, and IgM levels of2.55mg/mL,9.80mg/mL, and1.73mg/mL, respectively while HEV patients had mean levels of2.66mg/mL,10.04mg/mL, and2.01mg/mL (P<.26,P<.32, andP<.0004). However, the mean level of IgM in HEV-infected sera after purification from antibodies that interacted with BSA was determined to be1.72mg/mL indicating that there was no significant difference in IgM level in HEV patients compared to normal individuals (P<.6). The presence of antibodies that interact with BSA might serve as a diagnostic tool for detection of high-risk patients.

In this paper, we used bovine serum albumin and polymer as the blocking agents and investigated the effect of blocking agents on non-specific background of polystyrene microbead that used the human serum immunoassay.The results showed that the nonspecific background is lower by using polymer blocking agents. The best blocking condition was that microbeads were blocked by PVXT (0.5% polyvinyl alcohol PVA, 0.8% polyvinylpyrrolidone, 0.05% Tween-20, PBS phosphate buffer, pH7.0) for two hours at room temperature.
