OBJECTIVETo determine 3-amino-5-morpholinomethyl-2-oxazolidinone (AMOZ) residues released from protein bound AMOZ in animal tissues.
METHODSPolyclonal and monoclonal antibodies were produced in this study. A rapid, sensitive, and specific competitive direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (cdELISA) was developed.
RESULTSRabbit polyclonal antibodies were used in the optimized cdELISA method, and exhibited negligible cross-reactivity with other compounds structurally related to AMOZ. The IC(50) of the polyclonal antibody was 0.16 ng/mL. The method limit of detection in four different types of animal and fish tissues was less than 0.06 μg/kg. Recoveries ranged from 80% to 120% for fortified samples with the coefficient of variation values less than 15%. The results of the cdELISA method were in good agreement with the results from an established liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry confirmatory method used for AMOZ residues.
CONCLUSIONThe cdELISA method developed in the present study is a convenient practical tool for screening large numbers of animal and fish tissue samples for the the detection of released protein bound AMOZ residues.

Sleep disorders are abnormalities in sleep duration or quality caused by factors that range from insomnia,circadian rhythm sleep disorders to abnormal behavioral disorders during sleep.Long-term sleep disorders may affect the emotions and physical strength of soldiers,impair their learning and cognitive ability,and even increase the prevalence of physical and mental diseases,which may be detrimental to their physical and mental health and combat effectiveness.This article is intended to review the current research progress in sleep disorders in military personal at home and abroad.
