Abstract:

A SudanⅠanalog was synthesized by diazotization and conjugated to bovine serum albumin (BAS) or keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) by active ester method and a BAS based detection antigen and a KLH based immune antigen were obtained. A competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was established to detect the immunogenity of the immune antigen. BALB/c mice were immunized with the immune antigen for antibody generation. For the preparation of anti-SudanⅠ monoclonal antibodies, cell fusion was used. An indirect competitive ELISA assay was developed. A linear relationship was observed over the concentration range of 0.5 to 10 ng/mL and the detection limit was 0.1 ng/mL. The average recovery rates of SudanⅠin red hot chili pepper powder spiked at 6 different levels were between 52.3% and 110% with variation coefficients varying from 3.2% to 8.9%.

Key words: Sudan Ⅰ, monoclonal antibody, ELISA detection
