Abstract

A rapid ELISA method has been developed to quantitate myoglobin in serum. An antigen capture enzyme-linked immunoassay with IgG1 mouse monoclonal antibodies produced by cell clones MGB20-4A1.1 and MGB20-3C1.2 were used for myoglobin detection. These monoclonal antibodies are specific for different epitopes of the myoglobin molecule. Monoclonal antibodies from the hybridoma clone MGB20-4A1.1 were adsorbed to microtiter plate wells. The plates were washed with PBS containing 0.05% Tween 20 and then 20 μl of standard serum or serum of patients and 200 μl of peroxidase labeled monoclonal antibodies MGB20-3C1.2 were added to each well. Plates were incubated for 90 min at 37°C and enzyme activity was determined using o-phenylenediamine as a substrate. The ELISA assay described is a rapid and sensitive procedure to assess the quantiti of myoglobin within the range 2–1000 ng/ml serum. 120 samples can be tested in 3 h.
