    Journal: J Agric Food Chem; 2008 May 14; 56(9):2944-52. PubMed ID: 18393429.
    Abstract:
    A monoclonal antibody (Mab) was produced by using the kanamycin-glutaraldehyde-bovine serum albumin (Kan-GDA-BSA) conjugate as the immunogen. The anti-Kan Mab exhibited high cross-reactivity with tobramycin (Tob) and slight or negligible cross-reactivity with other aminoglycosides. The specificity and cross-reactivity of this Mab are discussed regarding the three-dimensional, computer-generated molecular models of the aminoglycosides. Using this Mab, a rapid enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and a colloidal gold-based strip test for Kan and Tob were developed. The rapid ELISA showed a 50% inhibition value (IC 50) of 0.83 ng/mL for Kan and 0.89 ng/mL for Tob with the analysis time less than 40 min, and the recoveries from spiked swine tissues at levels of 25-200 microg/kg ranged from 52% to 96% for Kan and 61% to 86% for Tob. In contrast, the strip test for Kan or Tob had a visual detection limit of 5 ng/mL in PBS, 50 microg/kg in meat or liver, and 100 microg/kg in kidney, and the results can be judged within 5-10 min. Observed positive samples judged by the strip test can be further quantitated by ELISA, hence the two assays can complement each other for rapid detection of residual Kan and Tob in swine tissues. Moreover, physical-chemical factors that affected the ELISA and strip test performance were also investigated. The effect of pH and antibody amount for gold-antibody conjugation on the strip test sensitivity was determined followed by a theoretical explanation of the effects.
