AbstractWe have developed and applied an immunoassay method to detect genetically modified (GM) rape containing phosphinothricin acetyltransferase (PAT). The purified PAT was identified by Western blotting and enzymic activity analysis. The polyclonal antibody against purified PAT protein was obtained and purified by both a saturated ammonium sulphate method and protein A-Sepharose 4B. The sensitivity and cross-reactivity of the polyclonal antibody has been demonstrated in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The result of the ELISA for antiserum sensitivity was about 2×10−5mg/ml and the cross-reactivity determined experimentally showed a high degree of specificity for the antiserum used, because values were all less than 0.1%. Detection of transgenic plants was evaluated using two transgenic rape lines (MS1/RF1 and MS8/RF3) which could be easily distinguished by ELISA.

Abstract. A sensitive and specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of autoantibodies reacting with thyroid plasma membrane antigens has been established. Autoantibodies reacting with thyroid plasma membrane antigens were detected by the ELISA in 95% of untreated hyperthyroid Graves', 68% of antithyroid drug-treated Graves' up to four months of the therapy, in 62% of Hashimoto's thyroiditis and in 8.9% of toxic nodular goitre. The ELISA was negative in 100% healthy blood donors, 100% non-toxic nodular goitre, in 12 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, 18 patients with scleroderma and 94% of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. The mean value of autoantibodies titre was higher in untreated hyperthyroid Graves' (1:84 000) and lowest in positive patients with autoimmune disease of non-thyroid origin (1:4000). The cross-reactivity of antimicrosomal antigen antibodies was below 10%; there was no influence of antithyroglobulin antibodies on the ELISA; and most of the autoantibodies react with plasma membrane antigens different from the TSH binding sites.

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect a sap-staining fungus, Ophiostoma piceae, and a biological-control agent, Gliocladium roseum, grown in liquid culture and in wood. A polyclonal serum prepared against whole cell fragments from broken mycelia of O. piceae detected O. piceae in liquid culture at 0.25 μg dry weight/mL; however, there was moderate cross-reactivity with G. roseum. Antiserum adsorbed on G. roseum had almost no reactivity with G. roseum but still reacted strongly with O. piceae. The specificity of these sera was verified, and the antigenic sites were localized, by immunogold labeling and electron microscopy. These studies confirmed that the adsorbed serum could differentiate between G. roseum and O. piceae and showed that the cell wall was the most reactive cellular component. These results are discussed in relation to the development of immunological probes for the detection of sap-staining and biological control fungi. Key words: polyclonal serum, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, immunogold labeling, sap-staining and biological control fungi, electron microscopy.

Since December 2019, a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has resulted in a global pandemic of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Although viral nucleic acid test (NAT) has been applied predominantly to detect SARS-CoV-2 RNA for confirmation diagnosis of COVID-19, an urgent need for alternative, rapid, and sensitive immunoassays is required for primary screening of virus. In this study, we developed a smartphone-based nanozyme-linked immunosorbent assay (SP-NLISA) for detecting the specific nucleocapsid phosphoprotein (NP) of SARS-CoV-2 in 37 serum samples from 20 COVID-19 patients who were diagnosed by NAT previously. By using SP-NLISA, 28/37 (75.7%) serum samples were detected for NP antigens and no cross-reactivity with blood donors’ control samples collected from different areas of China. In a control assay using the conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), only 7/37 (18.91%) serum samples were detected for NP antigens and no cross-reactivity with control samples. SP-NLISA could be used for rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2 NP antigen in primary screening of SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals.

Abstract An easy, sensitive, competitive indirect enzyme- linked immunosorbent assay (CI-ELISA) for specti nomycin in chicken plasma was developed. Preparation of a spectinomycin-bovine serum albumin conjugate in which the hapten is linked to the carrier protein through the C-4 position is described. Antibodies raised against antigens in rabbits had excellent specificity for spectinomycin, exhibiting a cross-reactivity of 44.0% with dihydrospectinomy-cin and 13.8% with tetrahydrospectinomycin. No cross-reactivity was observed with other antibiotics. The detection limit of the CI-ELISA was 2 ng/mL (equivalent into 40 ng/mL undiluted chicken plasma) spectinomycin. Known amounts (0.1-100 μg/mL) of spectinomycin were added to chicken plasma and then analyzed. Average recoveries were 97-110%. This procedure may be used without prior extraction of samples.

This paper reports an indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (icELISA) using polyclonal antibody (pAb) for estradiol (E2) residues. After derivation, E2 haptens were conjugated to bovine serum albumin (BSA) and ovalbumin (OVA) through 1-Ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropy) carbodiimide (EDC) method, and New Zealand white rabbits were immunized to produce anti-E2 pAb. The conjugation ratio of E2-BSA was proved to be 18.6:1 by an UV absorbance method. Based on the square matrix titration, an icELISA standard curve was developed. The dynamic range was from 0.16 to 128 ng/mL, with LOD and IC50 value of 0.08 ng/mL and 3.76 ng/mL, respectively. Except for a little cross-reactivity (16.2%) to estrone, this assay showed negligible cross-reactivity to other analogues tested. The results suggest that the produced anti-E2 pAb could be used to develop an icELISA method for the determination of E2 residues in animal-originally products.
