A competitive direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (cdELISA) was developed for selective and rapid detection of a glycopeptide antibiotic, teicoplanin (TP). TP was conjugated to bovine serum albumin (BSA) for use as an immunogen. Repeated subcutaneous injections of 0.5 mg of the conjugate was effective in generating specific polyclonal antibody (PAb) toward TP in rabbits, as determined by cdELISA. TP-horseradish peroxidase conjugate (TP-HRP) was used as an enzyme marker. The cdELISA was developed based on a competition reaction between TP-BSA PAb and TP-HRP conjugate. The TP-BSA PAb was highly sensitive (detection limit, 0.3 ng/ml and specific toward teicoplanin, showing no cross-reactivity to other glycopeptide antibiotics including vancomycin. There were good correlations ($r^2$=0.84 and 0.76, respectively) between cdELISA and microbiological assay, and high-performance liquid chromatography. The cdELISA system developed in this work is expected to be useful not only for selective and rapid monitoring of TP but also for study of TP pharmacokinetics.

In a previous study, we obtained polyclonal antibodies against the organophosphorus insecticide fenitrothion and developed an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for this pesticide. Using these antibodies and an enzyme tracer, a direct competitive ELISA method specific for fenitrothion using a dipstick format was developed. Dipstick ELISA using antibodies to fenitrothion immobilized on an Immunodyne membrane allowed the quick visual detection of fenitrothion at concentrations above $10\;{\mu}g/L$. The $IC_{50}$ value of dipstick ELISA using reflectance detection was $27\;{\mu}g/L$ with a detection limit of $2\;{\mu}g/L$. The recovery of fenitrothion from spiked lettuce and rice samples using the dipstick ELISA ranged from 87-107%.

A competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for the quantitative detection of organophosphorus insecticide cyanophos. An analogue (hapten) of cyanophos was synthesized and was coupled to BSA to produce polyclonal antibodi es from rabbits. The antisera were screened against another hapten coupled to ovalbumin (OVA). Using the sera of highest specificity, an antigen-coated ELISA was developed, which showed an I50 of 310 ng/mL with the detection limit of 20 ng/mL. The antibodies showed negligible cross-reactivities with other organophosphorus pesticides except for parathion-methyl, which makes the assay suitable for the selective detection of cyanophos.

The levels of maternal immunity enhancing factor(MIEF), which is an immunomodulatory protein identified from bovine colostrum, were determined by indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) for the colostrum and normal milk collected during the first two weeks of lactation. The mean concentration of MIEF in the colostrum of the first day of lactation was $109\;{\mu}g/ml$, and fell from the third day of lactation to $3{\sim}4\;{\mu}g/ml$. The molecular weight of the purified MIEF determined by reducing SDS-PAGE and TSK G2000SW column chromatography was 22,000 and 24,000 daltons, respectively, showing that MIEF is a monomeric peptide in its native form. To examine the capacity of MIEF to induce differentiation of B Lymphocytes, human tonsillar Iymphocytes were cultured in the presence of different concentrations of MIEF, and then antibody secreting cells were enumerated by enzyme-linked immunospot(ELISPOT) assay. When added to cultures of human tonsillar Lymphocytes, MIEF induced differentiation of resting B Iymphocyte to antibody secreting plasma cells as efficiently as LPS.

The Hen's egg is widely used in many processed foods as an ingredient and is one of the most prevalent food allergens in children. To detect egg proteins in processed foods, we developed a competitive indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ciELISA) using an anti-ovomucoid (OM) antibody, which was produced by immunization of rabbits with OM, the most heat-stable component of the egg proteins. The detection limit of this quantitative assay system was 30 ng/mL. Cross-reactivity of the anti-OM antibody toward OM, ovalbumin, skim milk, casein, whey protein isolate, and isolated soy protein was 100, 0.4, 0.2, 0.04, 0, and 0%, respectively. In the spike test of egg white powder in milk replacer, commercial sausage, and in-house sausage, the assay recoveries ($mean{\pm}SD$) were $129{\pm}13.7%$, $73.9{\pm}12.5%$, and $65.5{\pm}13.6%$, respectively. When egg white in a commercial crab meat analog and sausage was determined by ciELISA, the assay recovery was found to be 108% and 127%, respectively. The combined results of this study indicate that this novel ciELISA for OM detection could be applied for the quantification of hen's egg proteins in processed foods.

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was developed for the detection of residual gentamicin(GM) in edible animal products. The immunogen(GM-KLH conjugate) and coating antigen(GM-BSA conjugate) were prepared by coupling GM sulfate to keyhole limpet hemocyanin(KLH) and bovine serum albumin(BSA) in the presence of 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride, respectively. Polyclonal antibody to GM was produced in rabbits(New Zealand White, female) by using the immunogen and the antibody titer was measured by indirect ELISA. A competitive ELISA was developed using GM-bovine serum albumin conjugate as a coating antigen, GM(as standards or sample), polyclonal antibody to GM, secondary antibody conjugated with horseradish peroxidase as an enzyme, and H2O2 and o-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride as a substrate and a chromophore, respectively. The detection limit of GM was 10 ng/ml and the standard curve of GM(n=26) was linear up to 10 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml in this competitive ELISA system. There were no cross-reactivities of the partially purified antibody between GM and the various antibiotice such as amikacin, benzyl-penicillin, chloramphenicol, erythromycin, furazlidone, kanamycin, neomycin, oleandomycin, streptomycin, sulfathiazole and thiamphenicol(CR50<0.05%)

A competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for the quantitative detection of the organophosphorus insecticide bromophos. Three bromophos analogues (haptens) were synthesized and were coupled to carrier proteins to use as immunogens or coating antigens. Rabbits were immunized with either one of two haptens coupled to bovine serum albumin (BSA) for production of polyclonal antibodies, and the sera were screened against one of the haptens coupled to ovalbumin (OVA). Using the serum with highest specificity and an enzyme tracer, an antibody-coated ELISA was developed, which showed an $IC_{50}$ of 40 ng/mL with a detection limit of 7 ng/mL. The antibodies in this assay showed negligible cross-reactivity with other organophosphorus pesticides except with the insecticides chlorpyrifos and fenitrothion.

In order to develop more rapid and reproducible analysis of biotin known as vitamin H, attempts were made to establish the condition for enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) compared with traditional microbiological assay(MBA). Antibiotin and antiserum were obtained from the immunized rabbits injected with emulsion of biotin KLH conjugate and Freund's adjuvant. The antiserum showed cross reactivity on biocytin, a derivative of biotin, which is converted to biotin in intestine, at the rate of 177%(median inhibitory concentration(IC50)=12.58ppb), but not on other derivatives such as desthiobiotin, diaminobiotin and 2 imino biotin. Specific antibody for biotin was purified from the antiserum through protein A column and desalting column. The conditions of competitive direct ELISA (cdELISA) were established. Detection range of biotin concentration by cdELISA was 0.01∼300ng/ ml(ppb). In the spike test with milk, fruit flake and pine carrot juice, the correlation coefficient between two methods of MBA and ELISA was reliably consistent at the value of r=0.992. But detection of biotin by microbiological assay(MBA) was rather restricted in range and nonspecific. Detection range of biotin by MBA was 0.1∼0.5ng/ml(ppb). It showed cross reactivities on biocytin and desthiobiotin at the rate of 80.1% and 66.7%, respectively. In conclusion, ELISA revealed a significant improvement compared with MBA for the biotin detection in terms of sensitivity, detection range and cross reactivity. In addition, a variety of samples could be analyzed rapidly and conveniently at one time by using ELISA. These results strongly suggest that the ELISA is very promising for the practical application to detect biotin contents in a wide range of food stuffs.

PA를 분석하기 위하여 효소면역측정법을 개발하고자 하였다. Bc방법과 Po방법으로 BSA에 PA를 conjugation하여 각각의 PA-BSA conjugate(PA-BSA[Bc]와 PA-BSA[Po])를 제조하였으며, 이를 토끼에 면역하여 항PA-BSA 항체를 얻었다. 항PA-BSA[Po] 항체를 사용한 ciELISA의 결과에서 경합반응이 제대로 일어나지 않았기 때문에, 식품 속에 있는 PA를 검출하기 위해서 PA-BSA[Po]을 코팅한 후 항PA-BSA[Bc] 항체를 사용하였다. 이 결과에서 PA의 검출한계가 1 ppm인 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 교차반응을 통해 PA 유도체들에 대해서도 항PA-BSA[Bc] 항체가 PA에 대해 특이성이 매우 강하였다. 또한, MBA의 결과에서는 그 검출한계가 10ppb인 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 분석시료인 계란(109%), 상추(64%), 소간(344%)의 식품시료에 대한 실험에서 상추를 제외하고는 ciELISA는 MBA의 결과와 비교해 볼 때 양호한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 그러므로, ciELISA는 MBA보다 분석시간, 교차반응 등의 면에서 장점이 있어 식품 중 PA의 검출에 효과적으로 활용할 수 있을 것이다.
