Abstract: To obtain polyclonal antiserum with high sensibility and specificity, artificial antigens were synthesized by coupling glyphosate (PMG) with the carrier proteins bovine serum albumin (BSA) and ovalbumin (OVA) separately by 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) and glutaraldehyde (GA) methods in this study. As a result, the immune antigen PMG-BSA and detection antigen PMG-OVA were obtained and identified by UV spectroscopy and SDS-PAGE. New Zealand white rabbits were immunized with PMG-EDC-BSA and PMG-GA-BSA, respectively to obtain polyclonal antisera. The titer of the antisera was determined by indirect ELISA and their sensibility and specificity were determined by indirect competitive ELISA. The results showed that the titer of antiserum of all three immunized rabbits was higher than 1:104. The antiserum of rabbit 2 exhibited the highest sensibility with an IC50 of 30.9 μg/mL and good specificity. The successful synthesis of artificial antigens and the obtainment of PMG polyclonal antiserum with high sensibility and specificity may lay the foundation for rapid immunological detection of PMG.
