    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Immunology
    • Analytical Chemistry

    Background:

    • Accurate nicotine determination is crucial for smoking research and cessation programs.
    • Existing methods for nicotine quantification can be complex or lack sensitivity.
    • Development of a rapid and reliable immunoassay for nicotine is needed.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To produce specific antibodies against nicotine using a functionalized hapten.
    • To develop and validate a novel nicotine enzyme immunoassay (EIA).
    • To assess the assay's performance in measuring nicotine in human plasma samples.

    Main Methods:

    • Production of antibodies by coupling racemic 6-aminonicotine to bovine serum albumin.
    • Development of a double antibody enzyme immunoassay using beta-galactosidase.

  • Validation of the assay using pooled human plasma and analysis of smoker samples.

    • Main Results:

    • Successfully produced nicotine antibodies suitable for immunoassay development.
    • Developed a sensitive and specific nicotine EIA with high correlation (0.994) to pooled plasma.
    • Demonstrated assay sensitivity of 10 micrograms/L and measured nicotine levels in smokers.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed nicotine enzyme immunoassay is a precise and accurate method for nicotine determination.
    • This assay provides a valuable tool for pharmacokinetic studies and monitoring smoking behavior.
    • The method shows potential for clinical and research applications in tobacco use assessment.
