Summary of Test Method4.1 The latex devicetest sample is extracted for 2 h in an aqueous buffer. The extract

20、is recovered and the antigen levels aredetermined using inhibition Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay (ELISA) technology (1).3 The ELISA assay is based onpolyclonal antiserum which can detect NRLHNRL proteins. ELISA technology takes advantage of the specificity and sensitivityof the antibody-antigen

21、reaction.Avariation of the ELISAmethod (an inhibition ELISA) has been developed for the detection andquantification of latexHNR protein antigens. In the inhibition ELISA, the latexHNR antigen is immobilized by absorption to thewells of a 96-well test plate. The sample extract is mixed with antibody

22、specific for NRLHNRL protein in a dilution plate.Following a brief incubation to allow for antibody recognition of the relevant NRLHNRL antigens, the mixture is added to theimmobilized antigen in the assay plate. Anti-NRLAnti-HNRL antibody which is not bound to the soluble NRLHNRL protein inthe samp

23、le will bind to the immobilized antigen. The plate is washed to remove the soluble antigen antibody complexes and asecondary antibody (enzyme-labeled anti-immunoglobulin) is added which attaches to the immobilized antigen-bound specificantibody. Next, the enzyme substrate is added and the reaction o

24、f the enzyme on the substrate results in a color change.Areductionin the amount of color in comparison to an uninhibited control is an indicator of the amount of antigen present in the sample.Comparison to a standard curve generated using known amounts of NRLHNRL protein permits quantification. The

25、assay is highlysensitive and can quantitate NRLHNRL proteins in the nanogram per millilitre range.5. Significance and Use5.1 Type 1 latex allergy most commonly manifests as localized urticaria after contact of skin with natural rubber but can alsoinclude symptoms of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, ast

26、hma and rarely anaphylaxis. This immediate (Type I) allergy is caused bynaturalHNRL proteins inherent to the rubber tree, which remain on the finished natural rubber products. The quantification ofprotein levels in NRLHNRL products using the standard colorimetric protein assays may give spurious res

27、ults due to chemicaladditives in the latex formulations that interfere with the assay (2,3). Furthermore, the amount of protein found in NRLHNRLproducts are often below the detection limits of the standard colorimetric protein assay (4,5).5.2 This test method describes an immunological method for qu

28、antitation of natural rubber latex HNRL proteins using rabbitanti-NRLanti-HNRL serum. Rabbits immunized with NRLHNRL proteins react to the majority of the proteins present, and theirsera have the capability to detect most if not all of the proteins in NRL.HNRL. Therefore, although rabbit antibody re

29、acts withantigenic material, this should not be considered as quantitative measure of total protein levels.6. Interferences6.1 Substances such as detergents or surfactants have the potential to prevent antibody binding to antigen and could interferein an ELISA assay. However, due to the sensitivity

30、of the ELISA assay, these interferences often can be controlled by seriallydiluting the sample.7.
