Abstract: In this paper, anti-E.coli O157:H7 IgY was purified, and the titer of 10mg/ml purified IgY was 1:320. The anti- E.coli O157:H7 IgG was available by injection New Zealand rabbit with E.coli O157:H7 antigen, and the titer was 1:25600.Together with the IgY and IgG specific to E. coli O157, a double-antibody sandwich-ELISA was developed with IgG diluted 3200 fold as the capture antibody, and IgY as the detection antibody. Besides, the results of cross-experimentation of sandwich-ELISA described: ① IgG coating in 37℃ for 2h, ② reaction of IgG with antigen in 37℃ for 2h, and ③ concentration of IgY as 0.25mg/ml, and reaction of IgY with antigen in 37℃ for 1h. The detection limit of this method is 105CFU/ml, and has no cross reactions with other bacteria. With enrichment procedure in 41℃ and 200 r/min, E. coli O157:H7 recovers well from inoculated food samples. The results showed that the samples are detected after being cultured 12h at 0.1~1CFU/g(ml) and 8h at 1~ 10CFU/g(ml) respectively.
