Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) is one of the most common food allergens that can induce fatal anaphylaxis, and Ara h 2 is one of the major allergen components involved in peanut allergy. The aim of this study was to develop a quantitative method for detecting peanut allergen using monoclonal antibodies against Ara h 2. The splenocytes of immunized mice were fused with myeloma cells (SP2/0), and stable mAb-producing clones were obtained by limiting dilution. mAbs against Ara h 2 were isolated from mouse ascites, and specificity was confirmed by immunoblotting. Five mAbs with high purity and specific reactivity were obtained, which were referred to as 1-2E10, 2-1D5, 3-1C5, 4-1C2, and 5-1G4, respectively. After screening different mAb combinations for development of a sandwich ELISA, we selected 5-1G4 as the capture antibody and 1-2E10 as the detection antibody for the measurement of Ara h 2 from which an optimal correlation between the Ara h 2 concentration and the OD value was obtained. This sandwich ELISA could specifically detect Ara h 2 in peanut extract at concentrations as low as 5 ng/mL and up to 10 μg/mL. These mAbs can, therefore, serve as quantitative diagnostic reagents for peanut and peanut product risk assessment.

SummaryA sandwich ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) of the two-site type has been successfully developed for the detection of cows' milk in goats' or ewes' milk. The assay uses two monoclonal antibodies (MAb) raised in mice against cows' β-lactoglobulin (β-lg). These MAb recognize different epitopes of the β-lg, which are sufficiently distinct to allow simultaneous binding of the corresponding antibodies. One of the MAb recognizes a species-specific epitope of the bovine β-lg and was adsorbed to a plastic microtitration plate (capture antibody). The second MAb was labelled with peroxidase and used to detect the captured cows' β-lg. Factors affecting assay performance were investigated. The optimized assay is highly specific, reproducible (intra- and inter-assay CV were 8 and 13% respectively) and sensitive: as little as 5 ng β-lg/ml or 1 part cows' milk per 100000 parts goats' or ewes' milk can be detected. The technique is robust, cheap, rapid, reliable and suitable for high sample throughput, semi-automation and screening surveys. The MAb used guarantee the high specificity of the assay and indefinite reagent supply of constant quality once approved by collaborative national or international trials.

Abstract Rheumatoid factor (RF) is a major source of interference in many immunoassays. Most immunoassays use mammalian polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies, and RF can react with IgG from mammalian species, thus causing false-positive results. In this work we have studied RF interference in a sandwich ELISA, where RF in the sample may react with both the capture antibody and the detection antibody to give a false-positive reaction. We show that rheumatoid factors do not react with chicken IgY; if the capture antibody or detection antibody (or both) is of avian origin, the interference of RF or other anti-IgG antibodies in sandwich ELISA can be avoided.

ABSTRACT Hepcidin regulates the quantity of ferroportin (FPN) on cellular membrane. In our cell assay expressing ferroportin labeled with green fluorescence, FPN was internalized and degraded only after treatment with hepcidin-25, not hepcidin-22 or hepcidin-20, leading to accumulation of cellular iron. Thus we generated murine monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against hepcidin-25, and then characterized and validated their functions. Among them, several mAbs showed a neutralizing activity that may prevent ferroportin internalization induced by hepcidin-25. To measure hepcidin level in various fluids, mAbs specific for human and rat hepcidin-25 were selected. As for rat, a sandwich ELISA developed using clone rHN1 as capture antibody and biotinylated clone mHW1 as a detection reagent had high sensitivity, allowing for the detection of 1-100 ng/mL of hepcidin-25. Rat hepcidin-25 level in plasma was measured at an average concentration of 63.0 ng/mL in healthy condition, and at 218.2 ng/mL after stimulation of lipopolysaccharide.

A rapid-detection method was developed for food-borne dulcitol-positive Salmonella spp. in foods that involves a new preenrichment and selective enrichment system and a sandwich ELISA using two monoclonal antibodies against dulcitol 1-phosphate dehydrogenase. Preenrichment and selective enrichment were in Enterobacteriaceae enrichment mannitol (EEM) broth at 42°C for 6 h and in a new dulcitol-magnesium chloride-pyridinesulfonic acid brilliant green-novobiocin (DMPBN) medium at 42°C for 27 h, respectively. The cells were collected from the selective enrichment culture and suspended in 0.1 ml of 1 N NaOH for 2 min. The solution was neutralized with 0.1 ml of 2 M Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.5) and the mixture was used as a sample for ELISA. The detection sensitivity of the ELISA was 105 CFU of Salmonella spp. per ml of culture. Competing non-Salmonella organisms in raw food did not interfere with the detection of Salmonella cells even when present at 107: 1 (non-Salmonella: Salmonella ratio) in food. Nonmotile Salmonella gallinarum was detected by the ELISA. The minimum detectable number of initial inoculum of Salmonella typhimurium was 0.69 CFU/25 g of raw chicken after the preenrichment in EEM broth and the selective enrichment in DMPBN medium. The present ELISA method required a total analysis time of 36 h including the preenrichment and selective enrichment periods. The ELISA method was compared with a conventional cultural method for the detection of Salmonella cells in 130 samples of raw foods. Of the samples tested, 16 were Salmonella-positive and 114 samples were negative by both methods. False-positive and false-negative results were not encountered.

Abstract Prothrombin fragment 1.2 (F1.2) is an activation peptide generated during a critical event of blood coagulation, the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin. As a marker of thrombin generation, F1.2 has clinical potential in assessing thrombotic risk and monitoring anticoagulant therapy. In developing a highly specific, monoclonal antibody-based immunoassay of human plasma F1.2, we generated six murine anti-F1.2 monoclonal antibodies, using as immunogen a synthetic peptide (sequence: CGSD-RAIEGR) similar to the unique carboxyl terminus of F1.2. Each antibody bound F1.2 but not prothrombin. Epitope mapping studies with one antibody (5-3B) showed that optimum binding required six to eight amino acids plus a terminal arginine to emulate the F1.2 carboxyl terminus. A quantitative sandwich ELISA for human plasma F1.2 was configured with monoclonal antibody 5-3B as the capture antibody and peroxidase-labeled polyclonal antibodies to the F1.2 amino-terminal region as detector antibodies. Calibrators were prepared by adding purified F1.2, 0-10 nmol/L, to F1.2-depleted plasma. Assay characteristics included the following: mean (+/- SD) analytical recovery of 98% +/- 13%; no interference from lipemia, hemolysis, icterus, or thrombolytic agents; 0.08 nmol/L sensitivity; and mean intra- and interassay imprecision (three lots) < 12% at both low and high concentrations of F1.2.

ABSTRACT Sunflower downy mildew, caused by the fungus Plasmopara halstedii, is a potentially devastating disease. We produced two monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) (12C9 and 18E2) by immunizing mice with a partially purified extract of P. halstedii race 1. Both MAbs detected in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) all races ofP. halstedii present in France. No cross-reactions were observed with Plasmopara viticola or with other fungi commonly associated with sunflowers. Both MAbs recognized the same three fungal antigens with molecular masses of 68, 140, and 192 kDa. However, the epitopes on the fungal antigens were distinct and repetitive. Seed homogenates from infected plants were incubated in wells coated with MAb 18E2. This resulted in the trapping of P. halstedii antigens that were identified with biotinylated MAb 12C9. No reactions were seen with seed homogenates from healthy plants. Thus, our results suggest that these MAbs might be used to develop a sandwich ELISA detection system for P. halstedii in infected seeds.
