Abstract
A competitive enzyme immunoassay using a bispecific monoclonal antibody (Bi-MAb) was developed to quantify acetylaminofluorene (AAF) adducts fixed on DNA and then compared to the spectrophotometric method. It was shown that this simple method allowed the measurement of as low as 2 pmol per assay of AAF bound to DNA. This technique was used to monitor synthesis and purification ofN-acetoxy-N-2-acetylaminofluorene modified dGTP (AAF-dGTP). It was shown that AAF-dGTP can be a substrate for the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase. Finally, using the Bi-MAb we developed a non-radioactive sandwich hybridization assay making use of oligonucleotide covalently bound to microwells and of synthetic oligonucleotide tailed with AAF-dGTP as a probe.
