文摘

This paper reports the development of an immunoassay for the specific analysis of doxycycline (DC), a congener of the tetracycline antibiotic family (TCs), in milk samples. This is the first time that DC antibody production is reported, based on a rationally designed and well-characterized immunizing hapten. The chemical structure of the immunizing hapten (13-[(2-carboxyethyl)thiol]-5-hydroxy-6-伪-deoxytetracycline, TC1) was designed to maximize recognition of the tetracycline characteristic moiety defined as lower periphery of the TCs plus the region of the upper periphery composed by the hydroxyl group at position C₅ (B ring) and the dimethylamino group in ring A. Polyclonal antibodies raised against TC1 coupled to horseshoe crab hemocianyn (HCH) were used to develop a homologous indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The microplate ELISA can detect DC in buffer down to 0.1 渭g L^鈥?. The ELISA has been proven to tolerate a wide range of ionic strengths and pH values. The assay is very selective for DC with a minor recognition of methacycline (32% of cross-reactivity). Experiments performed with whole milk samples demonstrate that samples can be directly analyzed after a simple treatment method, reaching detectability values below 5 渭g L^鈥?.
