Nivalenol(NIV)의 검출을 위한 효소면역측정법(ELISh)을 개발하기 위하여 tetraacetyl nivalenol(Ac4-NIV)에 대한 다클론항체를 생산하고 그 조건을 확립하였다. Ac4-NIV-hemisuccinate를 bovine serum albumin에 공유결합 시킨 Ac4-NIV-HS-BSA를 Freund's adjuvant와 함께 수차례 토끼에 피하면역하였다. 가장 높은 항체가를 나타낸 항혈청으로부터 정제한 항체와 Ac4-NIV-HS-HRP conjugate를 이용하여 직접 경합 ELISA(cdELISA)를 확립하였다. 그 표준곡선으로 부터 Ac4-NIV의 검출범위는 10~5,000 ng/ml(ppb)임을 알 수 있었다. 특이항체의 Ac4-NIV과 acetyl T-2에 대한 반 응성은 각각 100, 70%였으나, NIV, deoxynivalenol, 3-acetyl deoxynivalenol, 15-acetyl deoxynivalenol, triacetyl deoxynivalenol, fusarenon-X, T-2에 대한 반응성은 0.1% 이하로 극히 미약하였다. NIV를 인위적으로 오염시킨 옥수수시료를 70% acetonitrile로 추출하고 acetylation한 다음 cdELISA를 행하였을 때, 분석의 회수율은 100, 300, 1,000 ng/g(ppb)에서 각각 108, 143, and 70%(평균, 107%)로 나타났다.
To develop an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for nivalenol (NIV), we produced polyclonal antibodies against tetraacetyl nivalenol (Ac4-NIV) and established EL- ISA conditions. Ac4-NIV-hemisuccinate conjugated to bovine serum albumin (Ac4-NIV-HS-BSA) was immunized with Freund's adjuvants into rabbits subcutaneously several times. By use of the antiserum showing the highest titer and Ac4-NIV-HS-HRP conjugate, we established com- petitive direct ELISA (cdELISA). Standard curve of cdELISA showed that the detection range of Ac4-NIV was about 10- 5,000 ngiml (ppb). The cross-reactivities of the polyclonal antibody to- wards Ac4-NIV and acetyl T-2 were 100 and 70% respectively, and those towards NIV, deox- ynivalenol, 3-acetyl deoxynivalenol, 15-acetyl deoxynivalenol, triacetyl deoxynivalenol, fusarenon- X, and T-2 were less than 0.1%. When cdELISA was applied to NIV-spiked corns followed by ex- traction with 70% acetonitrile and acetylation with acetic anhydride in pyridine, the recovery rates of the Ac4-NIV were 108, 143, and 70% (average, 107%) in the levels of 100, 300, and 1,000 ng/g (ppb), respectively.
