Product Description

Product name:Tetracycline BSA conjugant (TC-BSA)
Description: Tetracycline (TC) is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used increasingly in animal husbandry to treat diseases or to promote growth as feed additives. To avoid using labor-intensive instrumental methods to detect residues of TC in food and food products, a simple and convenient indirect heterologous competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method for TC was developed using polyclonal antibody prepared in this study. Three new immunogens, TC-o-tolidine-bovine serum albumin (BSA), TC- *-aminobenzoic acid-cationized BSA (cBSA), and TC*1,1‘-carbonyldiimidazole-cBSA, were synthesized in this research to develop anti-TC antibodies. All antibodies raised in rabbits and coating antigens synthesized were screened and characterized using homologous and heterologous ELISA formats to select the best combination.
