Abstract:

The active group carboxyl was introduced to ractopamine (RAC) and formed RAC semialdehyde (RAC-SA) which has hapten structure by chemical modification. The method of mixed anhydride (MA) was used to conjugate RAC-SA to bovine serum albumin (BSA) and obtain artificial antigen BSA-RAC identified by infrared (IR), ultraviolet (UV) and SDS-PAGE. Balb/C mice were immunized with BSA-RAC and hybridoma lines that secrete monoclonal antibody against RAC (RAC mAb) were established through cell fusion and then screened using indirect ELISA. Blocking ELISA and the immunological traits of RAC mAb were identified. The results showed that BSA-RAC is synthesized successfully and its conjugation ratio between RAC and BSA is about 24.5:1. Three hybridoma lines of 3F10, 3H12 and 4D8 are screened out and the best one is 4D8 with indirect ELISA titers of 1:1.28×103 in supernatant and 1:6.4×105 in ascites. The isotype of the mAb is IgG1/κ and its affinity constant (Ka) is 1.65×1010L/mol. The mAb shows good sensitivity with an IC50 of 5.7 ng/m lto RAC, 22.3% cross-reactivity with dobutamine and little or no cross-reactivity with other compounds. Establishment of hybridoma lines that secrete RAC mAb makes it possible to develop immunoassay of RAC residues in animal food.
