SPECIFIC IDENTIFICATION OF VIBRIO PARAHAEMOLYTICUS EMPLOYING MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY BASED IMMUNOASSAY
The present study was carried out to achieve a simple, specific and cost effective detection system for lessThan i greaterThan Vibrio parahaemolyticus lessThan /i greaterThan . The Outer Membrane Proteins (OMPs) of lessThan i greaterThan V. parahaemolyticus lessThan /i greaterThan were extracted by treating the cell pellet with N- lauroyl sarkosyl and analysed by SDS-PAGE. Female BALB/c mice were immunized with the crude OMP extract and antigenicity was confirmed by subsequent Western blotting with anti-OMP antisera. The mice with higher antibody titre were selected as spleen donors for fusion. OMP based indirect plate and dot ELISA were standardized for screening of hybridoma and four hybridoma cell lines producing monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were stabilized. Among these, MAb 212 detected a 36 kDa OMP that was present in all lessThan i greaterThan V. parahaemolyticus lessThan /i greaterThan strains irrespective of their serotypes. Cross-reactivity of this MAb was observed only with lessThan i greaterThan V. alginolyticus lessThan /i greaterThan and lessThan i greaterThan Aeromona lessThan /i greaterThan s spp. from different organisms tested, but these species could also be clearly differentiated from each other in Western blot as lessThan i greaterThan V. alginolyticus lessThan /i greaterThan had reaction at 38 kDa and lessThan i greaterThan Aeromona lessThan /i greaterThan s sp. reacted at 39 kDa protein. These species therefore, appear to share the same MAb 212 epitope located at different antigens. These specific and sensitive assays could detect diverse lessThan i greaterThan V. parahaemolyticus lessThan /i greaterThan serovars and may be applicable as a reliable and rapid diagnostic procedure for the identification and direct detection of lessThan i greaterThan V. parahaemolyticus lessThan /i greaterThan in seafood samples.
