Abstract:

An indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was established with the standard
β-lactoglobulin as the coated antigen, specific rabbit antibody against β-lactoglobulin as the primary antibody, horseradish
peroxidase labeled goat anti-rabbit IgG:HRP as the secondary antibody and o-phenylenediamine as the substrate solution.
Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) was used as the reference method. The t-test method
proved that the indirect competitive ELISA for detection of β-lactoglobulin was feasible and accurate. The results of t-test
at a significance level α = 0.5 showed that the indirect competitive ELISA was more accurate to detect the concentration of
β-lactoglobulin.

Key words: milk allergy, β-lactoglobulin, indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, reversed-phase highperformanceliquid chromatography
