Abstract:
A simple enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been developed for the quantitation of the major allergens of sugi pollen, Cry j I and of Dermatophagoides mites, Der I (Der p I/Der f I) and Der II (Der p II/Der f II) for use in the in vitro standardization of allergen extracts. Polystyrene microplates coated with a IgG fraction of rabbit antiserum were incubated first with allergen extracts and then with biotinylated antiserum IgG. The bound allergen-biotinylated antibody complex was detected with commercially available streptavidin-enzyme conjugate followed by the addition of colorimetric substrate. The assay was very sensitive (-0.2 ng/ml) and reproducible (CV% = 1.9-13.8%). The ELISA was compared with the radioimmunoassay previously described, and the results showed a very good correlation between the assays (r = 0.967-0.990). The allergen content in three sugi pollen and three house dust extracts measured by the ELISA also demonstrated a good agreement with the relative potency of these extracts as determined by the intradermal skin test. These results indicate that the ELISA could be useful in the standardization of allergen extracts.
