Anti-erlotinib serum was obtained by immunizing mice with an antigen conjugated with bovine serum albumin and 3,4-bis(2-methoxyethoxy)benzoic acid using the N-succinimidyl ester method. Enzyme labeling of erlotinib with horseradish peroxidase was similarly performed using 3,4-bis(2-methoxyethoxy)benzoic acid. A simple competitive ELISA for erlotinib was developed using the principle of direct competition between erlotinib and the enzyme marker for anti-erlotinib antibody, which had been immobilized on the plastic surface of a microtiter plate. Serum erlotinib concentrations lower than 40 ng/mL were reproducibly measurable using the ELISA. This ELISA was specific to erlotinib and showed very slight cross-reactivity(6.7%) with a major metabolite, O-desmethyl erlotinib. Using this assay, drug levels were easily measured in the blood of mice after oral administration of erlotinib at a single dose of 30 mg/kg. ELISA should be used as a valuable tool for therapeutic drug monitoring and in pharmacokinetic studies of erlotinib.展开更多

The sensitivities and specificities of the two assays were similar. We further analyzed an additional 68 patients and 93 healthy controls using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. A Kappa test showed good consistency between the two methods in terms of detection of anti-aquaporin-4 antibody in the se of neuromyelitis optica patients. No significant correlations were identified with onset age or disea duration, suggesting that aquaporin-4 antibody is a good marker for neuromyelitis optica. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay can be used for quantifying aquaporin-4 antibody concentrations and may be useful to dynamically monitor changes in the levels of aquaporin-4 antibody during disease duration.展开更多

It is necessary to develop a simple quantification method for TKIs in order to facilitate therapeutic drug monitoring(TDM) in clinical settings. This study sought to develop a simple and sensitive competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) to quantify afatinib in plasma for routine pharmacokinetic applications. An anti-afatinib antibody was obtained using(S)-N-4-(3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)-7-(tetrahydrofuran-3-yloxy)-quinazoline-4,6-diamine(CTQD), which has the same substructure as afatinib, as a hapten. Enzyme labeling of afatinib with horseradish peroxidase was similarly performed using CTQD. A simple competitive ELISA for afatinib was developed based on the principle of direct competition between afatinib and the enzyme marker for the anti-afatinib antibody, which had been immobilized on the plastic surface of a microtiter plate. Plasma afatinib concentrations below the limit of quantification of 30 pg/mL were reproducibly measurable. Also, the values of plasma afatinib levels measured from 20 patients were comparable with those measured by high-performance liquid chromatography, and there was a strong correlation between the values determined by both methods(Y=0.976 X – 0.207, r=0.975). As indicated by its specificity and sensitivity, this newly developed ELISA for afatinib is an important tool for TDM and studies of the pharmacokinetics of afatinib.展开更多

The lipoprotein LppQ encoded by lppQ gene is specific to MmmSC and is found in the type strain and in field strains isolated in Europe, Africa, and Australia, as well as in vaccine strains. No serological cross-reactions were observed with the related mycoplasmas of the Mycoplasma mycoides cluster. The N-terminal domain of the mature lipoprotein LppQ is hydrophilic, and it induces a strong, specific, early, and persistent immune response in naturally and experimentally infected animals. Mycoplasma-specific TGA (Trp) codons are utilized as stop codons in most other organisms. The lppQ N-terminal fragment from MmmSC HVRI X strain, the Chinese strain for CF antigen production, was mutated with one-step overlapping extension PCR. Sequence analysis confirmed the successful mutation from A to G in codon 198 in the lppQ gene. The fragment containing the mutation site was subcloned into the pET32a expression vector. The recombinant protein with molecular weight of 42 kDa was purified using the Ni-NTA His.Bind purification kit, with a purity of up to 95%. Western blot indicated that the standard positive serum of CBPP could react with the recombinant protein. The purified protein was diluted to 0.35 μg mL^-1, and coated to microtiter enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) plates. Indirect ELISA reaction conditions were optimized. The value of P/N was determined to be 4.8 (0.934/0.193), the sensitivity to be 95.8% (46/48), and the specificity to be 98.9% (161/163). 3 817 cattle serum samples from three different provinces were detected by the indirect ELISA and CFT. The Kappa value is 0.63, which is middle or high agreement between the two methods.展开更多

It was found that the test values of 7 kinds of cancers with PHA or LCA were significantly higher than that of the normal (P<0.01); the values of 4 kinds of non-malignant diseases with PHA were not higher (P>0.05); the values of the postoperative cancer with PHA were obviously lower than that of the preoperative (P<0.05). The results showed that the serum glycoconjugates which can bind to PHA seemed related to the cancerous existence in human bodies. The significance of the findings was discussed.展开更多

The antibody IgC was purified and degraded into Fab' fragment which was conjugated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) using N-succinimidyl-4-(N-maleimido-methyl) cyclo-hexane-1-carboxylate (SMCC) as crosslinking reagent to produce Fab'-HRP conjugate. A sandwich ELISA was established for the microquantitative determination of GST-π. The sensitivity was 11 pg/tube, which was far more sensitive than the radioimmunoassay so far reported. Using this method, the serum GST-π of 41 cases normal adult was found to be 1.06±0.94 ng/ml. The upper limit of the normal value was 2.6 ng/ml. In 30 cases of primary hepatocarcinoma, the level of serum GST-π was 24.4± 17.4 ng/ml, which was 23 times higher than the normal average value (P<0.01). The positive rate was 90%. In contrast, serum GST-π in 25 cases of chronic hepatitis was determined to be 1.74±1.16 ng/ml, which was not significantly different from the normal value (P>0.05). The pseudo-positive rate was 12.0%.展开更多

Recent developments in cytokine quantification such as multiple arrays measure multiple cytokines simultaneously. Although good correlations between ELISA and multiplex methods have been observed, side by side comparisons are limited. In the present study we hypothesized that ELISA and Luminex techniques are comparable in detecting cytokines in culture medium when pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMC) are exposed to stress. Primary human PASMC were cultured in modular chambers and exposed to 21% FiO2 and peak inspiratory and positive end expiratory pressure of 24 and 8 cmH2O respectively, and 95% FiO2. At 24 hours, culture medium was collected and assayed for interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-8 by quantitative ELISA and by Human Cytokine 25-Plex Panel using a Luminex 200 analyzer. A comparative analysis of agreement between our ELISA and Luminex data was detailed for control and stress conditions using the Bland-Altman plot analysis. Each assay resulted in comparable increased (p < 0.001) levels of IL-6 and IL-8 as compared to control in response to oxidative and biophysical stress. The Bland-Altman analysis demonstrated that 95% of the differences between ELISA and Luminex values were within ±1.96 SD from the mean difference indicated by the 95% limits of agreement for the measurements of IL-6 and IL-8. There was no systematic bias as a function of inflammation level. We conclude that in this cell culture model, ELISA and Luminex are comparable in detecting the levels of IL-6 and IL-8 in the culture medium. If measurements of multiple cytokines are demanded and the amount of sample is limited, Luminex multi-analyte profiling technology is accurate and sensitive.展开更多
