Haptens designed newly were achieved facilely in good yield by using LiCI-N(Et)3 as new catalysis system, the structure of which was elucidated by spectroscopy analysis, such as NMR and MS. Novel antigens for AOZ were prepared successfully by convenient active ester method. The ratios of haptens 3 and 4 to carrier proteins were proven respectively as 41 : 1 (5a), 39:1 (6a), 11:1 (5b) and 9:1 (6b) by trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) method. The results of indirect competitive ELISA (ic-ELISA) of antiserums indicated that the haptens with a short unsaturated side chain can evoke specific immune response effectively.展开更多

As a hapten, 1-pyrenebutyric acid(PBA) was conjugated to the carrier protein of bovine serum albumin(BSA) or ovalbumin(OVA) by active ester method. Infrared spectra(IR) showed that PBA-BSA and PBA-OVA conjugates were successfully prepared. The number of the haptens conjugated to the carrier protein was determined by ultraviolet spectra(UV) and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF-MS). The calculated average binding ratios of PBA/BSA and PBA/OVA were 18:1 and 10:1 by UV, and 31:1 and 22:1 by MALDI-TOF-MS, respectively. Although there was a discrepancy between the results determined by the two methods, both of them were useful for the characterization of the hapten-protein conjugates. The antibody was produced against the antigen of PBA-BSA, and the affinity was tested by the double agar diffusion method The conjugates and the antibody could be used for developing a sensitive and selective immunoassay of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs).展开更多

The sixth hapten 4-(acenaphthylen-3-yl)butanoic acid(3 f) was prepared from hapten 3 e via three steps including esterification, bromination and elimination. Their structures were confirmed by melting point, ~1H NMR and ^(13)C NMR. Their optical properties and crystal structures were also investigated. The results of density functional theory(DFT) calculation provided the supports that the size, shape(geometry) and electronic properties at the corresponding parts of 3 a~3 f did not change significantly, compared to those of PAHs. The haptens 3 a~3 f were coupled with bovine serum albumin(BSA) to make antigens. The coupling ratios were 1:20~1:38. These results show that the haptens could be used to induce specific antibodies for PAHs.展开更多

These flavonoids are thought to be haptens that can induce allergic reactions. The interaction mechanism of these haptens with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and molecular modeling method. The SPR study indicated that these compounds could specifically bind to the BSA with one binding site and equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) values were determined. Molecular modeling explored the mechanism of interaction under simulated physiological condition. The result of molecular modeling indicated that flavonoids could bind with BSA in the hydrophobic pocket of sub-domain II with hydrogen bonding as the main acting force.展开更多

Results from tests with immune rabbits indicate that: (i) A new antigen synthesized with CMPA has good stability and is safe for immunizing animals with no toxic phenomena being found in animal experiments; (ii) the immunogenic antigen (CMPA-BSA) can stimulate the immune system to produce specific antibodies with high titrations, up to 150000; and (iii) antibodies in antisera showed higher affinity to OVA-GSH-CuC1 than OVA-GSH, which indicates that the antibodies have specific affinity towards copper ions. These results confirm that the novel hapten and relevant antigen for copper ion have been successfully synthesized, giving progress towards an immunoassay for copper ions in environmental and food samples.展开更多

This study aims to elucidate the adjuvant effect of the microbial product-derived small peptides in the initiation of antigen-specific Th2 polarization. In this study, a clinical survey of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and food allergy (FA) was carried out. The Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB)-derived small peptides (Ssps) were examined in the human stool extracts. The formation of Ssp/antigen adducts was tested in a protein-protein combination assay. The bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) were employed to test the role of Ssp/ovalbumin (OVA) adducts in the dendritic cell (DC) maturation. A mouse model was developed to test the role of Ssp/OVA adducts in the initiation of "l'h2 polarization in the intestine. The results showed that 54 (18.2%} patients with FA were diagnosed among 296 patients with SEB+ CRS; only eight (2.9%) FA patients were identified among 272 patients with SEB- CRS. Ssps were detected in the stool protein extracts from FA patients with SEB+ CRS, but not in those with SEB- CRS. Ssp/OVA adducts induced DC maturation, speeded up DC migration, activated CD4+ T cells in the regional lymph nodes and induced skewed Th2 polarization in the local tissue. We conclude that patients with SEB + CRS are prone to suffering from FA. SEB can be degraded to Ssps in the gastrointestinal tract. The Ssps can bind macromolecular antigens to form adducts to promote the antigenicity of the antigens and induction of the antigen-specific Th2 polarization and inflammation in the local tissue.展开更多

The spacer arms of haptens for coupling to the protein carrier were located at different positions in BPA, and different length spacer arms were tested. Highly sensitive polyclonal antibodies were obtained and characterized using indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ic ELISA). Under optimized conditions, the half maximal inhibitory concentration(IC50) value of the best polyclonal antibody was 2.1 mg·L^(-1), based on coating heterogeneous antigens, and this optimal polyclonal antibody was highly sensitive toward BPA and displayed negligible crossreactivity with bisphenol B and bisphenol E. A sensitive ic ELISA method utilizing the polyclonal antibody was developed for the determination of BPA in milk. In spiked samples(5, 10 and 20 mg·L^(-1)), the recovery ranged from 80% to 102% with a coefficient of variation(CV) value below 15.8%. The limit of detection of ic ELISA was1.95 mg·L^(-1). These results indicate that the ic ELISA method is suitable for the detection of BPA in milk.展开更多
