Abstract
There are several methods used to visualize the end product of polymerase chain reactions. One of these methods is an ELISA‐based detection system (PCR‐ELISA) which is very sensitive and can be used to measure the PCR products quantitatively by a colorimetric method. According to this technique, copies of DNA segments from genomic DNA are amplified by PCR with incorporation of digoxigenin‐11‐dUTP. Samples are analyzed in a microtiter plate format by alkaline denaturation and are hybridized to biotinylated allele‐specific capture probes bound to streptavidin coated plates. Use of the produced anti‐digoxigenin antibody horseradish peroxidase conjugate and the substrate 2,2′‐azino‐di‐3‐ethylbenzthiazolinsulfonate (ABTS) detected the hybridized DNA. One of the key components in this procedure is the anti‐digoxigenin antibody HRP conjugate. Described here is the preparation, purification, and characterization of anti‐digoxigenin antibody HRP conjugate for use in the PCR‐ELISA DIG detection system. Several biochemical protocols and modifications were applied to increase the sensitivity and specificity of this conjugate for an efficient and cost‐effective product.
