Double Sandwich ELISA Modified Method for the Detection of Clostridium Botulinum Type E
Authors
Abstract:
Background & Objective: A very small amount of botulinum toxin can cause death and on the other hand, there is no cure for its poison other than antitoxin. Therefore, a diagnostic method that can detect very small amounts of botulinum toxin in a short time is very important. In this study, rapid and accurate detection of botulinum toxin type E has been performed with the double sandwich ELISA method. Materials & Methods: based on the double sandwich ELISA method two different antibodies that bind to epitopes without the interference of antigens is required. For this purpose, the rabbit antibody was poured at the bottom (Capture antibody) and mouse antibody at the top of the toxin (Detection antibody) of each well and the toxin was titrated from the first wells. Then, the modified sandwich ELISA system was set up and optimized for the detection of botulinum toxin type E.Results: The modified double sandwich ELISA method is able to detect Clostridium botulinum type E toxin to a value of 1 ng in less than 6 hours. Conclusion: The modified double sandwich ELISA method is very precise and fast in detecting Clostridium botulinum type E. This method is used for determining specific antigen in the unknown sample.

Immunodiffusion method for detection of type A Clostridium botulinum.
A simple gel immunodiffusion agar procedure was developed for detecting toxigenic strains of Clostridium botulinum type A. The method consisted of overlaying colonies grown on thin-layer tryptone-peptone-glucose-yeast extract agar with gel diffusion agar containing desired levels of C. botulinum type A antitoxin. Concentric precipitin zones formed around colonies of C. botulinum type A. Strains...

The pathogenesis of type E botulism is discussed as an aspect of the physicochemical and biological properties of 12S toxins (prototoxin and trypsin-activated 12S toxin) and the Ealpha and Ebeta components of each 12S toxin. A molecular weight of 350,000 was determined for each 12S toxin and 150,000 for Ealpha and Ebeta. Owing to the structure comprising the subunits Ealpha and Ebeta, 12S toxin...
