Abstract
When abrin-a was combined with several polyclonal antibodies (PAb), the detection limit could be increased. In this way, a monoclonal antibody (capture) and polyclonal antibody (detection) sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and a colloidal gold-PAb conjugate-based immunochromatographic assay for detection of abrin-a were developed. The ELISA had a detection limit of 3.9 ng/mL for abrin-a in standard solution and 7.8 ng/mL in soybean milk, and was more sensitive than polyclonal antibody (capture) and monoclonal antibody (detection) ELISA, which had a detection limit of 15.6 ng/mL. The test strip had a detection range of 50 to 500 ng/mL for abrin-a and a detection limit in standard solution or soybean milk samples of 50 ng/mL. However, the test strip had a reduced detection capability compared with a colloidal gold-monoclonal antibody conjugate-based immunochromatographic assay test strip, which had a lower detection limit of 10 ng/mL. The developed ELISAs and test strip show the specificity towards abrin-a and have no cross-reactivity towards abrin-b, -c, -d, ricin, or the agglutinins from either castor beans or rosary peas.Entities:
