Objective:
To prepare the antibodies against salbutamol (SAL) with high sensitivity and to develop an indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunoassay (ic-ELISA) for fast detection of SAL.
Methods:
The New Zealand white rabbits were immunized with SAL in a small dose and long period mode. The method of ic-ELISA was optimized and adopted for the detection of a series of SAL samples, then the standard curve of SAL was established. The precision and the recoveries of the method were determined.
Results:
The antibodies with high sensitivity towards SAL were prepared with a IC50 of 12.21 ng/ml. The ic-ELISA method for SAL measurement was established, the recoveries of measurement was between 95%-105% and the CV was <3%.
Conclusion:
The antibodies against salbutamol have been prepared and an indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunoassay for fast and specific detection of SAL has been developed.
