Popis: A monoclonal antibody was synthesized in mouse against the O-(3-carboxypropionyl) derivative of albuterol linked to bovine serum albumin. Isotyping of this material revealed the IgG1 class characterized by an affinity constant of 1.03 nM-1 and a density of sites of 0.55 nM. This antibody was found specific as its cross-reactivity to structurally related molecules was less than 1% except for clenbuterol (75%). A radioimmunoassay was set up with culture supernatant (final dilution 1/1000) and [3H] albuterol. The calibration curve was characterized by a maximum binding of 28%, an ED50 of 1.15 pmol per tube, the detection limit was 28.8 fmol/tube and the linearity of the response was up to 39.8 pmol/tube. This RIA method has been used for direct quantitation of albuterol in horse urine without any clean-up or extraction step.
