Abstract:
Objective To establish an initial diagnostic method for β-thalassemia (BT) using a double antibody sandwich ELISA approach. Methods The hybridoma producing monoclonal antibodies against anti-HbF were screened using a trailing count method. The mAbs were evaluated through ELISA,modified immunocytochem-istry,and Western blot analysis. A double antibody-sandwich ELISA assay was established by labeling the pairs of mAbs with ALP using the glutaral method,and this detection system was used to analyze 40 serum samples. Results The results demonstrate the successful generation of nine hybridoma cell lines capable of secreting highly active anti-HbF monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). Specifically,four mAbs (3F7,4G1,6C1,and 9H7) exhibited exclusive reactivity towards HbF without any cross-reactivity with hemoglobin variants (HbA and HbA2). These four HbF-specific mAbs displayed exceptional specificity and sensitivity,with a maximum titer of 1:256000 and the highest affinity constant (Ka) recorded at 2.36×108 L/mol. Among these mAbs,optimal antibody pairing was achieved using capture antibody 3F7 in conjunction with ALP-4G1 for the development of a sandwich ELISA detec-tion method. By employing this approach,fetal and healthy human blood samples were successfully quantified for HbF levels with an impressive detection sensitivity reaching up to 80％. Conclusion This sandwich ELISA dem-onstrated precise quantification of HbF levels,making it suiTab.for both research and diagnostic purposes in the field of β-thalassemia.
