[Synthesis and Identification of Artificial Antigen of Mangiferin]

To establish an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) for mangiferin (MRn), artificial antigen of MRn was synthesized.

Oxidation method using sodium iodide was used to synthesize immunogenic antigen (MRn-BSA) and coating antigen(MRn-OVA) of MRn. The characterization of the synthesis was examined by UV spectrometry. BALB/c mice were immunized with the prepared MRn-BSA immunogenic antigen. The titer of the anti-serum was detected by ELISA, in the meanwhile the immunogenicity of MRn-BSA was confirmed by indirect competitive ELISA (icELISA).

UV spectroscopy showed that MRn was successfully conjugated with OVA and BSA,so the new compound of MRn-BSA was synthesized, the coupling ratio was 6: 1. After immuned MRn-BSA, the mice could produce anti-MRn antibodies specifically, of which titer was up to 1: 4 000, and the general range was 1 - 100 µg/mL.

Anti-MRn antibodies are discovered in the serum of mice, which indicates that artificial antigen of MRn is successfully synthesized,for the purpose of preparing monoclonal antibodies, as well as the establishment of appropriate immune methods.
