It is known that rabbit anti-gum arabic (GA) serum has cross-reactivity with Lea antigen, and that, by using this cross-reactive anti-Lea antibody, the presence of Lea antigen in red blood cells and saliva can be demonstrated with accuracy. We have devised a rapid and highly sensitive method for detecting Lea substance in human saliva by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method using an anti-Lea antibody isolated from anti-GA serum by affinity chromatography on Synsorb Lea. The ELISA plate, coated with the specific anti-Lea antibody, adsorbed the Lea substance in saliva which was subsequently identified by adding enzyme labeled anti-Lea IgG in that order. The method could detect the Lea substance in Le(a+) saliva stains as small as 0.1 by 0.1 cm in size that had been stored at room temperature for three weeks and in Le(a+) saliva stains 0.7 by 0.7 cm in size that had been stored for ten years. This method seems to be useful for quantitative analyses of the Lea substance in various body fluids.

D007518 Isoantibodies Antibodies from an individual that react with ISOANTIGENS of another individual of the same species. Alloantibodies
D007983 Lewis Blood Group Antigens Carbohydrate antigens structurally related to the ABH BLOOD-GROUP SYSTEM. They may occur as a modification of saccharide chains on glycolipids or glycoproteins on cell surfaces or in plasma, or as free oligosaccharides in secretions. Lewis antigens are not synthesized in blood cells. Instead Lewis glycolipids present in plasma are absorbed onto the surface of ERYTHROCYTES; LYMPHOCYTES; and PLATELETS. The phenotypes Le(a) and Le(b) are the result of the actions of two genes the Le gene (fucosyltransferase FUT3) and the Se gene (fucosyltransferase FUT2) on the precursor carbohydrate, glycolipid or glycoprotein. Other FUCOSYLTRANSFERASES can also synthesize the Lewis antigens.

D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
