Aflatoxin B1 dihydrodiol antibody: production and specificity.

چکیده
A specific antibody for 2,3-dihydro-2,3-dihydroxyaflatoxin B1 (AFB1-diol) was prepared, and its reactivity was characterized for the major aflatoxin (AF) B1 (AFB1) metabolites. Reductive alkylation was used to conjugate AFB1-diol to ethylenediamine-modified bovine serum albumin (EDA-BSA) and horseradish peroxidase for use as an immunogen and an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) marker, respectively. High reactant ratios, 1:5 and 1:10, for AFB1-diol-EDA-BSA (wt/wt) resulted in precipitated conjugates which were poorly immunogenic. However, a soluble conjugate obtained by using a 1:25 ratio of AFB1-diol to EDA-BSA could be used for obtaining high-titer AFB1-diol rabbit antibody within 10 weeks. Competitive ELISAs revealed that the AFB1-diol antibody detected as little as 1 pmol of AFB1-diol per assay. Cross-reactivity of AFB1-diol antibody in the competitive ELISA with AF analogs was as follows: AFB1-diol, 100%; AFB1, 200%; AFM1, 130%; AFB2a, 100%; AFG1, 6%; AFG2, 4%; aflatoxicol, 20%; AFQ1, 2%; AFB1-modified DNA, 32%; and 2,3-dihydro-2-(N7-guanyl)-3-hydroxy AFB1, 0.6%. These data indicated that the cyclopentanone and methoxy moieties of the AF molecule were the primary epitopes for the AFB1-diol antibody. The AFB1-diol competitive ELISA was subject to substantial interference by human, rat, and mouse serum albumins but not by BSA, Tris, human immunoglobulin G, or lysozyme. By using a noncompetitive, indirect ELISA with an AFB1-modified DNA solid phase, a modification level of one AFB1 residue for 200,000 nucleotides could be determined.

Reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-dependent formation of 2,3-dihydro-2,3-dihydroxyaflatoxin B1 from aflatoxin B1 by hepatic microsomes.
2,3-Dihydro-2,3-dihydroxyaflatoxin B1 (dihydrodiol) was formed as a major metabolite in the incubation of aflatoxin B1 with rat and hamster liver microsomes. The yield of the dihydrodiol was maximal at pH 6.5, was reduced nicotinmide adenine dinucleotide phosphate- and cytochrome P-450-dependent, and was increased 2- to 4-fold by pretreatment of the animals with phenobarbital; pretreatment with...
متن کاملProduction of antibody against aflatoxin B1.
Antibody against aflatoxin B1 was obtained after one multiple-site injection of bovine serum albumin-aflatoxin B1 conjugate into rabbits. The antibody has greatest binding efficiency for aflatoxin B1, less efficiency for B2, G1, and Q1, and least for aflatoxicol, G2, and M1. Sterigmatocystin, coumarin, and 4-hydroxycoumarin did not give a cross-reaction with the antibody. The sensitivity of the...
متن کاملA novel aldehyde reductase with activity towards a metabolite of aflatoxin B1 is expressed in rat liver during carcinogenesis and following the administration of an anti-oxidant.
In contrast with fractions from control animals, an aldehyde reductase, which catalyses the reduction of aflatoxin B1-dihydrodiol, in the dialdehyde form at physiological pH values, to aflatoxin B1-dialcohol, is expressed in cytosolic fractions prepared from rat livers bearing pre-neoplastic lesions, or following treatment with the anti-oxidant ethoxyquin. This expression parallels the developm...
متن کاملPurified form of cytochrome P-450 from rainbow trout with high activity toward conversion of aflatoxin B1 to aflatoxin B1-2,3-epoxide.
Aflatoxin B1, the most potent hepatic chemical carcinogen known, is activated to the putative product aflatoxin B1-2,3-epoxide via a cytochrome P-450-dependent reaction. Mt. Shasta rainbow trout is the most sensitive species known to the hepatocarcinogenic effects of aflatoxin B1. We have previously isolated and purified a minor form of cytochrome P-450 from this strain of rainbow trout, with a...
متن کاملSome mass-spectral and n.m.r. analytical studies of a glutathione conjugate of aflatoxin B1.
A system for the formation of an aflatoxin B1-reduced glutathione conjugate in vitro was developed, capable of yielding 80% conversion of aflatoxin B1 into the conjugate. A reverse-phase high-pressure-liquid-chromatography system was also devised that not only facilitates improved resolution of the compound but that, by manipulation of the pH, is also capable of an extensive purification of the...
