Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Three monoclonal antibodies with either specificity to taxol or baccatin III, or cross-reactivity with several common taxanes have been prepared and used to develop sensitive competitive-inhibition enzyme immunoassays. The hybridomas producing these monoclonal antibodies were obtained by fusing P3X63Ag8.653 plasmacytoma cells and splenocytes from mice hyperimmunized with keyhole limpet hemocyanin-7-succinyltaxol or -7-succinylbaccatin III conjugates. Direct and indirect competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassays were developed with these monoclonal antibodies and microtiter plates coated with bovine serum albumin conjugates of the complementary hapten. Detection limits for the direct competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassays, conducted in buffer containing 10% MeOH, were 0.6 nM taxol for 3C6 (anti-taxol); 1.1 nM baccatin III for 3H5 (anti-baccatin III); and 0.6 nM taxol or baccatin III for 8A10 (anti-taxane). The immunoassays accurately detected taxol, baccatin III, and "total taxanes" in crude MeOH extracts of Taxus brevifolia bark and in hplc fractions of these extracts.
