Monoclonal murine anti-pesticide antibodies were produced by in vitro immunisation (IVI) of cultured splenocytes with the pesticides sulcofuron and flucofuron. The majority of both anti-flucofuron and anti-sulcofuron antibodies obtained were of the IgM isotype, rather than IgG. When used in an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), the antibodies bound to plate coating antigens which incorporated haptens that mimicked moieties present within the immunising pesticide. The antibodies exhibited a high degree of specificity, with the degree of cross-reactivity related to the structural similarity between the hapten present in the plate coating antigen and the moieties present within the immunising pesticide. These results indicated that antibodies specific to both sulcofuron and flucofuron had been produced by IVI. Synthesis of both hapten analogues and immunogens as required for methods based on in vivo immunisation was avoided, whilst antibody production was also comparatively more rapid than traditional methods and minimised animal discomfort.

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.
