Abstract
Immunomagnetic beads provide novel tools for high-throughput immunoassay techniques. In this study, protein G (PG) was immobilized onto bacterial magentic particles (BMPs) using an additional cysteine residue at the C-terminus. A broad-spectrum monoclonal antibody against glucocorticoids (GCs) was attached to BMPs through PG-Fc interaction, generating BMP-PG-mIgG immunomagentic beads. A sensitive one-step immunoassay was developed for GCs based on combination of BMP-PG-mIgG and dexamethasone-horseradish peroxidase tracer (DMS-HRP). The developed assay exhibited half inhibitory concentrations (IC50) for dexamethasone (DMS), betamethasone (BMS), prednisolone (PNS), hydrocortisone (HCS), beclomethasone (BCMS), cortisone (CS), 6-α-methylprednisone (6-α-MPNS), fludrocortisone acetate (HFCS) of 0.98, 1.49, 2.42, 9.29, 1.63, 6.13, 7.3, and 4.89 ng/mL, respectively. The method showed recoveries ranging rates from 86.5 % to 117 % with a coefficient of variation less than 12.3 % in milk sample, which showed a good correlation with LC-MS/MS. Thus, the proposed assay offers a rapid and broad-spectrum screening tool for simultaneous detection of GCs in milk.
