N-Acetylneuraminic acid (1) was prepared from the salivary gland mucins of the Chinese swiftlet by an improved procedure using acidic resin hydrolysis. Compound 1 was transformed into the known acetochloroneuraminic acid (3) by a new two-step procedure. Koenigs–Knorr glycosylation of 3 followed by subsequent reductive ozonolysis of the 2-propenyl α-glycoside afforded the key aldehyde precursors 7 and 8, which were coupled to bovine serum albumin or tetanus toxoid by reductive amination. The factors influencing the extent of incorporation were investigated. A series of N-acetylneuraminic acid analogues modified at strategic functionalities were also synthesized. Keywords: sialic acid, N-acetylneuraminic acid, neoglycoproteins, bovine serum albumin, tetanus toxoid.

Serotonin, N-acetyl serotonin, and 5-methoxy-N-acetyl serotonin (melatonin) were conjugated to bovine serum albumin (BSA) using formaldehyde. The molar ratio of hapten to protein was determined spectrophotometrically. Spectrophotometric data indicated that serotonin and N-acetyl serotonin but not melatonin were conjugated to bovine serum albumin. Selected hapten–protein conjugates were suspended in Freund's adjuvant and injected into rabbits. Antisera were harvested monthly and screened by double immunodiffusion. Immunodiffusion and inhibition tests indicated that antibodies raised to serotonin–BSA reacted with serotonin and 5-methoxytryptamine but failed to cross react with N-acetyl serotonin or melatonin. Inhibition tests indicated that antibodies to N-acetyl serotonin – BSA reacted with N-acetyl serotonin and cross reacted with melatonin but not with serotonin or 5-methoxytryptamine.

Consumption of cyanogenic plants can cause serious health problems for humans. The ability to detect and quantify cyanogenic glycosides, capable of generating cyanide, could contribute to prevention of cyanide poisoning from the consumption of improperly processed cyanogenic plants. Hapten-protein conjugates were synthesized with amygdalin and linamarin by using a novel approach. Polyclonal antibodies were generated by immunizing four New Zealand White rabbits with synthesized amygdalin-bovine serum albumin and linamarin-bovine serum albumin immunogen. This is the first time an antibody was produced against linamarin. Antibody titer curves were obtained from all the four rabbits by using a noncompetitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. High antibody titer was obtained at dilutions greater than 1:50,000 from both immunogens. This new method is an important step forward in preventing ingestion of toxic cyanogenic glycosides.

Abstract Current immunoassays for digoxin do not distinguish digoxin from its glycosidic metabolites. We have synthesized a novel digoxin/bovine serum albumin conjugate via reductive ozonolysis of the lactone ring such that the carbohydrate moiety of digoxin remains intact. Antibodies raised against this conjugate show minimal cross reactivity to digoxigenin, bisdigitoxide, monodigitoxide, digoxigenin, and digitoxin. With this antibody, digoxin can be measured in the presence of these metabolites.

In order to generate the specific antibody of small molecular hapten-ciprofloxacin for detecting the Ciprofloxacin residues in edible animal tissues. A modified Carbodiimide coupling method was developed to obtain the immunogenic conjugates through coupling ciprofloxacin with bovine serum albumin in five different proportions. The conjugates were characterized and verified by electrophoresis,the trinitro-benzene-sulfonic acid (TNBS) method and ultraviolet spectra scanning. A quantitative analysis of the density of ciprofloxacin-bovine serum albumin conjugates suggested that a high conjugate density 30:1 could be obtained in the optimized conditions. By immunizing the mice, the antibody showed high sensitivity toward ciprofloxacin with an IC50of 4.69 ng/ml. This study confirmed a practical approach for the ciprofloxacin-bovine serum albumin conjugates, through which the high potent antisera specific for ciprofloxacin hapten can be produced for immunoassay.

Antibodies to dexamethasone 21-hemisuccinate conjugated to bovine serum albumin were produced in rabbits. Antisera diluted 1:3000 bound 50% of 90pg of [1,2-3H]dexamethasone. The cross-reaction of the antisera with other synthetic and natural corticosteroids was measured.

Aflatoxins, a group of structurally related mycotoxins, are well known for their toxic and carcinogenic effects in humans and animals. Aflatoxin derivatives and protein conjugates are needed for diverse analytical applications. This work describes a reliable and fast synthesis of novel aflatoxin derivatives, purification by preparative HPLC and characterisation by ESI-MS and one- and two-dimensional NMR. Novel aflatoxin bovine serum albumin conjugates were prepared and characterised by UV absorption and MALDI-MS. These aflatoxin protein conjugates are potentially interesting as immunogens for the generation of aflatoxin selective antibodies with novel specificities.
