Abstract  

Objective: Chemical coupling agent and polylysine (PL) were used to conjugate goat anti-rabbit IgG and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) to increase the number of HRP connections on antibodies to amplify the sensitivity of immune detection, and the sensitivity was detected and compared through immunodetection applications, which is of great significance for subsequent immune diagnosis and biological research. Methods: Tylthioacetate (SATA) and Traut’s were optimized for the polymer HRP-PL, the feed ratio of Succinimidyl 4-[N-maleimidomethyl]cyclohexane-1-carboxylate (Sulfo-SMCC) was optimized with goat anti-rabbit IgG and HRP-PL, and the reaction ratio of the two was optimized. The conjugated IgG-PL-HRP and commercial secondary antibody were detected by immunoblot, ELISA and immunohistochemistry, respectively, and the amplification of conjugated IgG-PL-HRP was calculated. Results: When the molar ratio of PL to HRP was 1∶5, the molar ratio of HRP-PL to Traut’s was 1∶15, the molar ratio of goat anti-rabbit IgG to Sulfo-SMCC was 1∶30, the molar ratio of goat anti-rabbit IgG to HRP-PL was 1∶10, the reaction efficiency was high. In the immune spot test, the minimum detection limits of commercial secondary antibody and conjugate IgG-PL-HRP were 2.5 μg and 312.5 ng, respectively, and the maximum dilution times were 50 and 100 times, respectively. In ELISA experiment, the maximum dilution times were 5 000 and 20 000, times respectively. In the immunohistochemical experiment, the detection specificity and intensity of conjugated IgG-PL-HRP were higher than those of commercial secondary antibody. Conclusion: The primary amplification conjugate IgG-PL-HRP was successfully synthesized and its immune detection signal amplification was about 3 ~ 7 times that of the commercial secondary antibody. It is of great significance to the following immunodiagnosis and biological research.
