Abstract:In order to evaluate the effect of heavy metal artificial antigen, heterocyclic bifunctional chelators(BFCs),2-S-(4-Aminobenzyl)-1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4,7-triacetic acid(P-NH2-Bn-NOTA)and heavy metal Pb2+ were selected. The Pb2+ was conjugated to bovine serum albumin (BSA) and ovalbumin (OVA) with glutaraldehyde method to produce the artificial antigen based on the bifunctional chelators NOTA, respectively. The conjugation ratio was 9 and 7 for the Pb2+-NOTA-BSA conjugate and the Pb2+-NOTA-OVA conjugate, respectively. The polyclonal antibody (PcAb) was obtained after immune rabbits. Based on the PcAb, an indirect ELISA was established and its linear regression equation was y=12.127ln(x)-11.386 (R2=0.9961). According to the ELISA, the value of detection limit (IC20) and IC50 were 13.30 and 157.89 ng/mL, respectively. The specificity analysis showed that the cross-reactivities(CR) were all less 5.3% except Cd2+ was 12.3%, which indicated that the PcAb was specific for Pb2+. The produced Pb2+ artificial antigen and the PcAb could lay the foundation for rapid analysis of heavy metal residue using the BFCs.
