Production of polyclonal antibody against tetracycline using KLH as a carrier protein

Nur Azura M. S., . and Siti Noraini B., . Production of polyclonal antibody against tetracycline using KLH as a carrier protein. pp. 61-66. ISSN 1394-3227

The production of polyclonal antibody against tetracycline was described using tetracycline “ KLH conjugate (Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin). Tetracycline was conjugated with KLH as a carrier protein because it was small molecule and unable to stimulate an immune response by itself. The UV absorbance reading of the tetracycline-KLH conjugate and KLH alone slightly shifted the reading of UV absorbance. Ammonium sulphate precipitation and Protein A affinity column were used in the antibody purification. Two peaks were obtained from affinity Protein A column. Peak 1 indicated the unbound material from serum sample and peak 2 was bound antibody with protein A which was eluted with elution buffer. Peak 2 was collected for titer antibody determination using ELISA method. Antibody level was higher at the fourth bleed which reached 1.2 absorbance (UV/nm) and equivalent with 1 mgmL- concentration. The entire antibody level declined dramatically at dilutions greater than 0.0001 mgmL-1 protein. The optimum and significant antibody concentration was at 0.00001 mgmL- for use in ELISA or other assays

Abstract

The production of polyclonal antibody against tetracycline was described using tetracycline “ KLH conjugate (Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin). Tetracycline was conjugated with KLH as a carrier protein because it was small molecule and unable to stimulate an immune response by itself. The UV absorbance reading of the tetracycline-KLH conjugate and KLH alone slightly shifted the reading of UV absorbance. Ammonium sulphate precipitation and Protein A affinity column were used in the antibody purification. Two peaks were obtained from affinity Protein A column. Peak 1 indicated the unbound material from serum sample and peak 2 was bound antibody with protein A which was eluted with elution buffer. Peak 2 was collected for titer antibody determination using ELISA method. Antibody level was higher at the fourth bleed which reached 1.2 absorbance (UV/nm) and equivalent with 1 mgmL- concentration. The entire antibody level declined dramatically at dilutions greater than 0.0001 mgmL-1 protein. The optimum and significant antibody concentration was at 0.00001 mgmL- for use in ELISA or other assays
