Monoclonal antibody enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to quantify vitellogenin for studies on environmental estrogens in the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss).

Abstract：

:Vitellogenin (VTG) induction has proved to be a valuable biomarker for assessing exposure to environmental estrogens in fish. The widespread use of VTG in this regard has lead to the need for standardized assays to quantify VTG, and monoclonal antibodies have the potential to help accomplish this. A VTG enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed using a monoclonal antibody prepared against Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) VTG (MAb BN-5) and its ability to quantify VTG in the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) compared with a rainbow trout vitellogenin (rt-VTG) ELISA that employed homologous polyclonal antibodies (PAb). In routine protocols, the working range of the homologous rt-PAb VTG ELISA was between 9 ng/ml and 70 ng/ml (80- 20% relative maximum binding [B/Bo]) with a 50% B/Bo of 25+/-0.9 ng/ml and inter- and intraassay variations at 50% B/Bo of 7% (n = 7) and 8% (n = 15), respectively. The working range of the MAb BN-5 VTG ELISA was between 60 ng/ml and 850 ng/ml (80-20% B/Bo) with a 50% B/Bo of 227+/-22 ng/ml and inter- and intraassay variations at 50% B/Bo of 5% (n = 10) and 9% (n = 12), respectively. In the routine protocols, detection limits for measurement of plasma VTG in rainbow trout (at 80% B/Bo; and given the requirement to dilute plasma to a minimum of 1:10 for the assays) were 90 ng/ml for the polyclonal rt-VTG assay and approximately 600 ng/ml in the monoclonal antibody assay. In juvenile female rainbow trout exposed to a series of doses of estradiol-17beta (E2) and 4-tert nonylphenol (4-NP), there were no differences in the vitellogenic responses measured in the PAb and MAb BN-5 VTG ELISAs. The monoclonal MAb BN-5 VTG ELISA is likely to be of considerable value for studies on environmental estrogens in juvenile female rainbow trout in standardized tests.
