title: Double-sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with murine monoclonal antibodies for detection of staphylococcal enterotoxin B.
abstract: Three monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) which react specifically with staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) were studied for their suitability for use in ELISA. One of them (MAb B14) worked well as a coating antibody; MAb B12 was shown to be a good probing antibody (conjugated with peroxidase) when ELISA plates were coated with MAb B14. This effective pair of MAbs (B14-B12PO) is able to detect 0.625 ng SEB ml, and to distinguish between SEB and other proteins present in food extracts.
