Solid phase enzyme immunoassays of pertussis toxin using peroxidase or biotin labelled antibodies. 1987

F Megret, and J L Guesdon, and J E Alouf

The quantitative determination of pertussis toxin (PT) is generally estimated by biological tests which are time-consuming, cumbersome and unsuitable for simultaneous testing of a large number of samples. The present work describes a rapid and sensitive ELISA procedure allowing PT assay based on a sandwich technique amplified via avidin-biotin interaction. As low as 0.1 ng of PT in 0.1 ml sample could be detected by the procedure described.

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.

D006735 Horseradish Peroxidase An enzyme isolated from horseradish which is able to act as an antigen. It is frequently used as a histochemical tracer for light and electron microscopy. Its antigenicity has permitted its use as a combined antigen and marker in experimental immunology.

D001360 Avidin A specific protein in egg albumin that interacts with BIOTIN to render it unavailable to mammals, thereby producing biotin deficiency.
D001710 Biotin A water-soluble, enzyme co-factor present in minute amounts in every living cell. It occurs mainly bound to proteins or polypeptides and is abundant in liver, kidney, pancreas, yeast, and milk.
