Abstract
ABSTRACT Phenylethanolamine A (PEAA), as a typical β2-adrenoceptor agonist (β-AA), was widely illegally used in feed to improve the lean meat ratio. The detection performance of immunoassay, which is one of the effective methods to monitor PEAA residues in animal urine, has been hindered by high concentration of salt. Herein, we produced one highly salt-tolerant monoclonal antibody (mAb) 3E2 by hybridoma technology. Homologous modelling and molecular docking were used to analyse the antibody salt tolerance mechanism. Results show that the tight hydrophobic binding cavity is the key to high tolerance. Then the mAb 3E2 was used for specific detecting PEAA by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with the IC50 value of 0.36 ng mL−1and the LOD value of 0.065 µg L−1. Benefiting from the high salt tolerance of antibodies, swine urine and sheep urine spiked with PEAA can be detected directly by ELISA, and the acceptable recovery rates of 80.1–108.8% were obtained.
期刊介绍:
Food and Agricultural Immunology is an international open access journal publishing original immunological research with applications in food, agricultural, environmental and veterinary science. Submissions describing the use of immunological techniques and methods are particularly welcomed.
The journal aims to expand our understanding of the interactions at the interface of food and immune systems including studies on:
-Development of diagnostic systems – all types of ligand-based assays, e.g. antibody, aptamer
-Application of ligand-based assays for the detection or identification of molecules of interest in food science, agricultural research, veterinary investigations and clinical systems relating to food allergy or sensitivity to agricultural chemicals
-Effects of food on the immune system
-Studies on allergy and allergic reactions
-Investigations into food allergies
-Development of allergen-free food systems
-Development of novel assay formats
-Applications of assay systems to the monitoring of food items in relation to safety and labelling
-Food quality issues, e.g. speciation, adulteration and contamination
-Comparisons between different analytical techniques
The journal publishes research and review articles and is essential reading for food scientists, immunologists and all those concerned with the interaction between food and immune systems.
