Abstract
In this study, adipic acid dihydrazide (ADH), carbohydrazide (CH), ethylenediamine (EDA), and urea (U) were used as spacer molecules, covalently linking prednisolone (PSL) to carrier proteins for immunogen preparation, and PSL to enzymes for enzyme conjugate preparation using N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS)-mediated carbodiimide reactions. The resulting immunogens were used to generate antiserum in New Zealand white rabbits. Antibodies produced against immunogens with various spacers were tested for immunoreactivity with enzyme conjugates, both with and without spacers, in a total of twenty different combinations. All combinations demonstrated binding and were subsequently evaluated through displacement studies. Sensitivity and specificity tests revealed that the combination of PSL-21-HS-U-BSA-antibody with PSL-21-HS-HRP enzyme conjugate exhibited the best sensitivity (0.032 ng/mL) and limited cross-reactivity with other steroids. This combination was further examined for analytical parameters, showing recovery rates of 93.87–101.19 % for PSL from spiked human serum samples, with intra- and inter-assay CVs of <8.88 %. The serum PSL values obtained by this method showed strong correlation with a commercially available ELISA kit (r2 = 0.97, n = 78).
期刊介绍:
Sensing and Bio-Sensing Research is an open access journal dedicated to the research, design, development, and application of bio-sensing and sensing technologies. The editors will accept research papers, reviews, field trials, and validation studies that are of significant relevance. These submissions should describe new concepts, enhance understanding of the field, or offer insights into the practical application, manufacturing, and commercialization of bio-sensing and sensing technologies.
The journal covers a wide range of topics, including sensing principles and mechanisms, new materials development for transducers and recognition components, fabrication technology, and various types of sensors such as optical, electrochemical, mass-sensitive, gas, biosensors, and more. It also includes environmental, process control, and biomedical applications, signal processing, chemometrics, optoelectronic, mechanical, thermal, and magnetic sensors, as well as interface electronics. Additionally, it covers sensor systems and applications, µTAS (Micro Total Analysis Systems), development of solid-state devices for transducing physical signals, and analytical devices incorporating biological materials.
