Abstract
For the construction of the microbial monitoring method, anti-Salmonella polyclonal antibodies (pAbs) were produced from a rabbit and purified by saturated ammonium sulfate precipitation and protein A affinity column. The reactivity of anti-Salmonella pAbs was compared to that of commercial ones by using an indirect ELISA. The specificity of anti-Salmonella pAbs was investigated using 20 Salmonella serotypes and 20 non-Salmonella strains. A capturing ability of anti-Salmonella pAbs was investigated by exposing antibody-immobilized gold biosensor to different concentration of Salmonella mixture. Anti-Salmonella pAbs were successfully produced and purified with an antibody concentration of 2.0 mg/mL The reactivity of purified anti-Salmonella pAbs was greater than that of commercial one at all tested concentrations. All Salmonella serotypes, except S. Diarizonae, showed excellent binding efficiency with purified anti-Salmonella pAbs. Moreover, the purified anti-Salmonella pAbs showed excellent specificity against all non-Salmonella strains. The anti-Salmonella pAbs immobilized on the gold biosensor demonstrated the successful capturing capability against Salmonella with a dose-response manner. Therefore, the anti-Salmonella pAbs exhibited sufficient reactivity, specificity, as well as capturing capability against Salmonella to be considered as a bio-recognition element.
