Preparation of steroid antibodies and parallel detection of multianabolic steroid abuse with conjugated hapten microarray.
A conjugated hapten microarray based on miniature immunoassay for fast and multiplex detection of anabolic steroids is reported for the first time. This preliminary study investigated the possibility of using a microarray technology as a multisteroid detection assay. The microarray system used eight monoclonal antibodies raised against three steroid conjugates, 4-androsten-4-chloro-17beta-ol-3-one, 1,5alpha-androsten-1beta-methyl-17beta-ol-3-one, and 5beta-androsten-1-en-17beta-ol-3-one, which were conjugated to BSA by the active ester method. In addition to 4 commercial conjugated haptens, 18 steroid-BSA conjugates were synthesized and from all these a conjugated hapten microarray was fabricated. The analyzed substances included 42 types of anabolic steroid reference materials and 28 positive urine samples. Of these, 24 anabolic steroids and 12 positive urines were successfully detected.
