title: Determination of bovine enamel protein by enzyme-linked immuno-adsorbent assay.
abstract: A specific enzyme-linked immuno-adsorbent assay for enamel protein of the developing tooth was devised, using antibody against antigen prepared from immature bovine enamel. Samples containing 5-500 ng of amelogenin protein in 50 microliters gave consistent results. Bovine enamelin cross-reacted with the antibody but was less reactive than amelogenin. Proteins in other tissues or fluids did not react to the antibody.
