Sensitive Monoclonal Antibody Method Based ELISA on Filter for Detection of Benzo[a]pyrene in Air
نویسندگان
چکیده
There are several hundred PAHs; the best known is benzo[a]pyrene -B(a)P. Most measurements have been made on B(a)P, with different sampling and analytical procedures requiring prolonged treatment of the sample and subsequent chromatographic analysis. We proposed the present method for initial screening to check for B(a)P, developing a rapid and inexpensive immunoassay method, based on antibodies use, that allows the revealing of benzo(a)pyrene in air environmental samples.

A sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for adducts of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with human serum albumin.
Adducts of benzo[a]pyrene-diolepoxide (BPDE) with blood nucleophiles have been used as biomarkers of exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The most popular such assay is a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) that employs monoclonal antibody 8E11 to detect benzo[a]pyrene tetrols following hydrolysis of BPDE adducts from lymphocyte DNA or human serum albumin (HSA)...
متن کاملMeasurement of Affinity Constant of Anti-human IgG Monoclonal Antibodies by an ELISA-based Method
Background: The affinity of an antibody to its antigen is a crucial parameter in its biological activity and performance of an immunoassay such as ELISA. Affinity of most IgG specific MAbs are often determined by methods which require labeling of either antigen or antibody, and are sometimes difficult to control, do not always lead to the expected signal and often result in immunological modifi...
متن کاملA Capture ELISA for the Diagnosis of Visceral Leishmaniasis Using a Monoclonal Antibody against a Leishmanial
capture ELISA system was developed for diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) using a monoclonal antibody raised against an antigen previously detected in the urine of VL patients. Urine samples from confirmed VL cases from Yemen, Nepal, Spain, Sudan and Brazil were tested in the capture ELISA in comparison with urine samples from endemic and non-endemic areas along with urine samples from pa...
متن کاملQuantitation of exposure to benzo[a]pyrene with monoclonal antibodies.
It is now possible to quantitate carcinogen adducts on DNA by highly sensitive immunoassays. These techniques are particularly useful for screening human populations for exposure to potential environmental carcinogens. We have developed a panel of monoclonal antibodies that react with benzo(a)pyrene (BP) modified DNA to be used in an enzyme linked immunoassay (ELISA) to quantitate adduct levels...
