title: [Preparation and identification of monoclonal antibody against sterigmatocystin].
abstract: Compound antigen, bovine serum albumin-sterigmatocystin (BSA-ST) or hemocyanin sterigmatocystin (H-ST) was prepared by converting ST to its hemiacetal group in ST and taking ST conjugated to BSA or H. Balb/c mice were immunized with BSA-ST, and then their spleen cells were isolated and fused with SP2/0 murine myeloma cells. A hybridoma cell strain that could stably secrete monoclonal antibody against ST (McAb-ST) was selected, and both of their ascites and serum were rich in McAb-ST induced by cells of this strain. McAb-ST was identified as Ig-Gi with a molecular weight of 168,000 kd (53,000 for heavy chain and 31,000 for light one), and with an affinity constant of H-ST reaction of 1.29 x 10(9) mol/L measured by indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (IC-ELISA). Relative cross reaction of McAb-ST with ST analogues was less than 2%. The minimal 0.5 pg/25 microliters of ST can be detected with IC-ELISA using McAb-ST and ST simultaneously, with a linear range of 0.1-10 ng/ml.
