A portable and quantitative enzyme immunoassay with a glucometer readout was developed for the sensitive monitoring of neuron-specific enolase (NSE, as a model analyte) in a high-binding polystyrene 96-well microtiter plate (MTP), conjugated with monoclonal mouse anti-human NSE antibody (mAb1).

Abstract This competitive, rapid, and sensitive enzyme immunosorbent assay for measuring human prolactin in plasma involves penicillinase (EC 3.5.2.6) as label. Microtiter plate wells coated with goat anti-rabbit gamma globulin are filled with antibody to prolactin and plasma sample or reference prolactin and incubated with penicillinase-labeled prolactin for 1 h at 37 degrees C. The enzyme activity of the bound complex is then measured. The assay is as sensitive as radioimmunoassay, the detection limit being 2.5 ng of prolactin per milliliter of plasma. The plasma prolactin values obtained by enzyme immunoassay correlated well with those determined by radioimmunoassay: r = 0.98, slope = 1.00, intercept = 1.11 ng/mL (n = 53).

Abstract An indirect competitive enzyme immunoassay was developed to determine tetrodotoxin (TTX). Antiserum against TTX was demonstrated in rabbits immunized with TTX-keyhole limpet hemocyanin conjugate. In this assay, TTX-bovine serum albumin was coated on the microtiter plate, which was incubated with standard TTX and biotinylated immunoglobulin G from antiserum. The amount of antibody bound on the surface of wells was determined by the reaction of avidin-peroxidase conjugate with its substrate. The minimal detection level of TTX ranged from 5 to 25 pg/assay. The standard curve was linear between 0.25 and 50 ng/assay. A good correlation (r= 0.974) for TTX was also obtained between this indirect competitive enzyme immunoassay and the mouse bioassay.

Abstract We developed an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) system to detect antibodies to human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I). This system uses chemically synthesized oligopeptides to capture anti-HTLV-I antibodies in serum. The two epitopes of HTLV-I proteins exhibiting the most specific antigen-antibody reaction reside within amino acids 100-130 of p19, a core protein encoded by gag, and amino acids 175-199 of gp46, an envelope glycoprotein encoded by env. This new assay uses synthetic peptides corresponding to these two regions modified by adding two lysine residues at the amino terminal of each peptide to facilitate the binding to the surface of the microtiter plate wells. We compared the performance of our EIA with gelatin-particle-agglutination (PA) and indirect-immunofluorescence (IF) assays, both of which use viral proteins purified from virus-carrying cell cultures. Mass screening by EIA with various synthetic peptides was more accurate than the current confirmatory IF assay.

A colorimeter capable of measuring results of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reactions directly in the wells of a microtiter plate is described. This colorimeter proved to be as accurate as a conventional spectrophotometer in assessing ELISA reactions, but had the advantage of not requiring transfer of the specimen to a separate chamber. With this colorimeter, 96 specimens can be read in approximately 5 min. A practical colorimeter such as this can make the use of ELISA tests more feasible for many laboratories.
