title: A sensitive and reliable quantification method for Bisphenol A based on modified competitive ELISA method.
abstract: Bisphenol A (BPA), generally known as bisphenols, has been identified as a potential estrogenic substance. BPA must be conjugated to carrier protein and BSA was commonly used. 4,4-Bis(4-hydroxyphenyl) valeric acid (BHPVA) has a bisphenolic structure and a long carbon chain with a reactive carboxyl group on the end. In this study, BHPVA-BSA was used to produce polyclonal antibody against bisphenolic structure, and a modified competitive ELISA method for quantification of BPA was developed. This system was based on BHPVA-BSA for polyclonal antibody production against bisphenolic structure, and BHPVA-HRP for determination of BPA substituting detection antibody in competitive reaction. Recovery was assessed at 10 different concentrations (2-1000 ng/ml) of BHPVA, and the recovery range was from 96.3% to 107.2%. The variation was from 6.2% to 9.8% for intra assay and from 10.1% to 12.6% for inter assay. The quadratic was used to establish the curve regression. The range was found to be between 2 and 1000 ng/ml. This modified competitive ELISA method has proven to be a very useful tool for quantification of BPA without the unexpected interaction of BSA and anti-BSA polyclonal antibody.
