Abstract

Sensitive and specific electrochemiluminescence (ECL) assays were used to detect Clostridium botulinum neurotoxins serotypes A, B, E, and F in undiluted human serum, undiluted human urine, assay buffer, and selected food matrices (whole milk, apple juice, ground beef, pastry, and raw eggs). These novel assays used paramagnetic bead-based electrochemiluminescent technology in which biotinylated serotype-specific antibodies were bound to streptavidin-coated paramagnetic beads. The beads acted as the solid support and captured analyte from solution. Electrochemiluminescent detection relied on the use of ruthenium chelate-labeled anti-serotype antibodies and analysis with a BioVeris M-Series M1R analyzer. The sensitivities of the assays in clinically relevant matrices were 50 pg/ml for serotypes A and E, 100 pg/ml for serotype B, and 400 pg/ml for serotype F. The detection limits in selected food matrices ranged from 50 pg/ml for serotype A to 50 to 100 pg/ml for serotypes B, E, and F. The antibodies used for capture and detection exhibited no cross-reactivity when tested with the other serotypes. When purified native toxin was compared with toxins complexed to neurotoxin-associated proteins, no significant differences in assay res...Continue Reading
