Abstract A sensitive assay for the detection of sulfamethazine in swine urine and muscle tissue using a direct competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been developed. Undiluted urine or a phosphate-buffered saline extract of pork muscle tissue is mixed with an enzyme-labeled conjugate of sulfamethazine and horseradish peroxidase. The mixture is added to wells of a microtiter plate coated with antibody to sulfamethazine. After the test system is incubated, washed, and re-incubated with substrate and the reaction is stopped, the absorbance is measured at 405 nm. Levels of sulfamethazine as low as 20 ng sulfamethazine/g muscle tissue and 10 ng sulfamethazine/ mL swine urine were detected and estimated

A double-antibody sandwich ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) has been successfully developed for the detection of defined amounts of pig meat (1–50%) in raw beef. Antibodies against pig sarcoplasmic extracts were produced in rabbits. Pig-specific antibodies were affinity purified by removing antibodies which crossreacted with horse, chicken or beef extracts followed by immunoadsorption and elution from a pig-extract column. The ELISA involved capturing antigens in sarcoplasmic extracts with pig specific antibodies immobilized on 96-well plates, detecting bound antigen with pig specific, horseradish peroxidase-labeling antibody, and measuring peroxidase activity by the conversion of a clear substrate to a colored product.

The effect of spacers and the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) formats on the functional parameters of assays such as lower detection limit, inhibitory concentration at 50 per cent (IC50), and specificity were studied. Enzyme conjugates having hydrophobic and hydrophilic spacers were prepared using O-isopropyl methylphosphonic acid (IMPA) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) as an enzyme label. Comparison was made with reference to enzyme conjugate without any spacer. The present investigation revealed that the presence of a hydrophilic spacer in the enzyme conjugate significantly improves the sensitivity of assays. An enhanced IC50 value achieved was 0.01 μg mL−1 for free antigen detection by direct immunoassay using hydrophilic spacers and precoating of ELISA plates by secondary antibody. The use of a hydrophilic spacer might have helped in projecting the hapten in the aqueous phase, leading to enhanced antibody binding signal and improved sensitivity of the assay.

Abstract Using a highly specific antibody against aflatoxin Mi, a radioimmunoassay (RIA) and an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were developed for the quantitation of Mi in milk. RIA was sensitive in the range of 5-50 ng per assay but was subject to interference by whole milk. Extraction and cleanup were therefore necessary for the detection of M1 in milk at 0.5 ng/mL. An ELISA procedure was developed by using an aflatoxin M1-carboxymethyl-horseradish peroxidase conjugate as the ligand. Competitive assays revealed that this system was relatively more sensitive for M1 than for B1, and had a much lower degree of cross-reactivity for aflatoxins B2, G1, G2, B2a, and aflatoxicol. As low as 0.25 ng M1/mL in artificially contaminated milk (raw, whole, skim) could be detected by ELISA in 3 h without extraction or cleanup. Because of its simplicity, sensitivity, and specificity, ELISA is the preferred method for monitoring aflatoxin M1 in milk.

An improved protocol for the previously described enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for Rathayibacter toxicus in hay is described. The improvements were driven mainly by the export hay industry requirement of same-day turnaround for testing of hay extracts. The preparation of hay extracts was shortened by 8 h. The time for adding samples to the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay plates was shortened by the use of sample tubes with penetrable stoppers combined with specially designed racks. The monoclonal antibody used in the original protocol was purified and conjugated to horseradish peroxidase. This eliminated the need for a secondary step with an anti-mouse horseradish peroxidase conjugate and thereby shortened the assay by over 1 h. Results with the improved assay protocol showed a very high correlation with results obtained with the original protocol (r = 0.98). The assay is still sensitive enough to detect antigen equivalent to less than 1 average gall per kg of hay. These cost-effective changes have streamlined the testing of large numbers of samples for the presence of R. toxicus, in support of the hay export industry.

Abstract An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for the quantitation of ochratoxin A amended to wheat. Ochratoxin A conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was used as an enzyme marker in the assay. At toxin levels below 30 ppb, a cleanup treatment was necessary for ELISA. Among 3 cleanup methods tested (solvent partition, Sep-Pak cartridge treatment, solvent partition and cartridge treatment), reverse phase cartridge treatment was the most simple and effective. In the analysis, ochratoxin A was extracted from wheat with methanol. The methanolic extract was diluted with water to a final 10–15% methanol content, and then passed through a cartridge. Ochratoxin A was eluted from the cartridge with 85% methanol which was then concentrated. The final solution, in 0.1M, pH 7.5 sodium phosphate–Tween 20 buffer and 5% methanol, was then subjected to ELISA. ELISA allowed minimal detection of the toxin in wheat at the 1–2 ppb level after cleanup. Recoveries of toxin added to wheat samples in the 1.0–30 ppb range were 85–90% with standard deviations of 10–15%.
