Double antibody sandwich ELISA procedures have been devised to estimate the concentrations of airborne rat urinary and epidermal antigens. Both assays were capable of detecting at least 3 ng/ml of antigen protein. Unknown concentrations were estimated in terms of the standard, laboratory-prepared material, as calculated from the linear relationship between absorbance and log concentration. The coefficient of variation of a single assay was 12%, the methods have been applied to extracts of the filter material from static and personal samplers in an animal room.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
