Abstract:
Two murine monoclonal antibodies have been developed against the buffalo prolactin (buPRL). These were designated as 1501 and 1504. Using two MAbs and anti-buPRL rabbit serum, an analysis was performed for the development of a sandwich ELISA (sELISA). The 1504/buPRL/anti-buPRL rabbit serum system was found feasible for sELISA. The sELISA had a sensitivity of 156 pg/mL. The buffalo serum sample showed a parallelism with the standard curve. The intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variance were 8.4% and 9.06%, respectively. These data proved the validity of the assay.

There are many different types of ELISAs, but they all involve an antibody molecule whose constant region binds an enzyme, leaving the variable region free to bind its specific antigen. Enzyme-substrate reaction allows the antigen to be visualized or quantified.

The technique begins with separating proteins from the sample using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), followed by protein transfer, immunoblotting, and finally, protein detection.
