Sandwich enzyme immunoassay of osteocalcin in serum with use of an antibody against human osteocalcin.
We have developed and thoroughly validated a solid-phase sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) on microtiter plates for osteocalcin in human serum with use of an antibody raised against human osteocalcin. We used a monoclonal antibody against bovine osteocalcin as the capture antibody; the second antibody was a polyclonal antibody against human osteocalcin. The amount of bound seco...
متن کاملUse of chicken antibodies in enzyme immunoassays to avoid interference by rheumatoid factors.
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 gi...
متن کاملSandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay by using monoclonal antibody for detection of Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin.
Sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for the quantitative estimation of Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin (CPE) with monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies as capturing and detecting antibodies, respectively. The dose-dependent relationship between absorbance at 405 nm and concentration of purified CPE was obtained over the range of 0.64-400 ng/ml. The sandwich ELISA...
متن کاملUse of digoxin-specific antibody fragments (Fab) in the management of digoxin poisoning.
Massive digoxin overdosage is an uncommon but serious medical emergency with a mortality of 20%.1 It involves multiple management problems including hyperkalaemia, heart block and resistant ventricular arrhythmias. The management of the problems associated with severe digoxin overdosage has been assisted by two recent therapeutic advances, the use of digoxin-specific antibody fragments (Fab) to...
متن کاملDetermination of metallothionein in biological fluids using enzyme-linked immunoassay with commercial antibody.
Metallothionein (MT) is a low molecular weight cysteine-rich protein with a number of roles in the pro/antioxidant balance and homeostasis of essential metals, such as zinc and copper, and in the detoxification of heavy metals, such as cadmium and mercury. Until now, detection of metallothionein in biological fluids remained difficult because of a lack of a broadly reactive commercial test. Mea...
