Abstract

: A monoclonal antibody specifically recognizing dibutyl phthalate (DBP) was prepared based on a hapten (di-n-butyl-4-aminophthalate). After optimizing various parameters such as concentrations of antibody, coating antigen and composition of the assay buffer, an inhibition curve was plotted with the 50% inhibition concentration value (IC50) 33.6 ± 2.5 ng/mL. A low level of cross-reactivity (<5%) was found for other phthalate esters. Recovery tests were conducted using liquor simulant (a mixture of water and ethanol) at two fortification levels (100 ng/mL and 300 ng/mL). The recovery rates ranged from 84.7% to 94.5% with a coefficient of variation between 7.1% and 12.8%. Nine liquor samples of different alcoholic strengths were detected using the proposed measure and confirmatory analysis was performed using liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy (LC-MS). The detection results showed good consistency between the two measures and all the data above indicated that the proposed ELISA could be applied in DBP screening.

1. Introduction

Phthalate esters are in widespread use as plasticizers in the production of various consumable or household products. Dibutyl phthalate (DBP), a major phthalate ester, is used to produce epoxy resins, cellulose esters and special adhesive formulations. Worldwide production of phthalate esters and their frequent application in a wide range of products in daily use has resulted in their presence in all parts of the environment and, consequently, in food. It has been reported that DBP accounts for up to 58.7% of phthalate ester pollution measured in the atmosphere of Nanjing metropolitan area of China [1]. Many studies have confirmed that DBP and other phthalate esters could migrate from food packaging materials into the food itself [24]. In fact, DBP was recently reportedly found in liquor [5,6], juice [7], vegetable oil [8], milk [9] and other foods [10]. The phthalate ester family, including DBP, has been suspected to have carcinogenic properties [11], to act as enviromental endocrine disruptors [12,13] and to exhibit developmental toxicity [14].

Nowadays, many government agencies worldwide, including the European Environment Agency, the U.S. EPA and the Chinese Ministry of Health have set a maximum residue limit (MRL) for DBP residues (300 ng/mL). Most measures to detect DBP are based on chromatography [1517] or chromatography-mass spectrum techniques [1820]. The first immunoassay for phthalate ester came from Ius's research in 1993 [21]. He developed a time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay to detect dimethyl phthalate in water. In recent years, Zhang, MC has published immunoassays for various phthalates including diethyl phthalate (DEP) [22], dimethyl phthalate (DMP) [23,24], dipropyl phthalate (DPP) [25], dibutyl phthalate (DBP) [26], and dicyclohexyl phthalate (DCHP) [2729]. However, most publications above focused on fluoroimmunoassay or water samples. Until now, few immunoassay [30] were found based on monoclonal antibodies.

In this study, a specific monoclonal antibody against DBP was prepared and an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was established to detect the presence of DBP in liquor. Real liquor samples were analyzed with the proposed ELISA, which showed good correspondence with liquid chromatography-mass spectrum results.

2. Materials and Methods

2.1. Reagents

Phthalate ester standards were obtained from Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Company (Beijing, China). Bovine serum albumin (BSA, MW 67,000) and ovalbumin (OVA, MW 45,000) were purchased from Boao Biotechnology Company (Shanghai, China). HRP-labeled goat anti-mouse immunoglobulin and 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) were obtained from Sigma (St. Louis, MO, USA). HPLC grade ethyl alcohol was purchased from J. T. Baker Company (Deventer, The Netherlands). All the other reagents were of analytical grades or better. Purified water from Millipore (resistivity 18.2 MΩ/cm) was used throughout the experiments.

2.2. Buffer Solutions

Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.4) was 10 mM sodium phosphate solution. Detergent was prepared by adding 0.05% (v/v) tween 20 in PBS. Blocking solution contained 0.1% gelatin (m/v) in PBS. Carbonate buffer (50 mM, pH 9.6) was used as coating buffer. Substrate solution was prepared by resolving TMB in glycol (0.06%, v/v) and the prepared TMB solution was mixed with citrate-acetate buffer (pH 5.5) at a ratio of 1:5 (v/v) in field use (ready-to-mix TMB substrate). All the solutions above were stored at 4 °C for use.

2.3. Monoclonal Antibody Production

4-Nitrophthalic acid (4-NPA) was used to synthesize di-n-butyl-4-aminophthalate (DBaP) as described in our previous report [31]. Complete antigens of BSA-DBaP and OVA-DBaP were respectively prepared. BSA conjugates were used to immunize mice and OVA conjugates were used as coating antigen. A positive mouse was sacrificed for cell fusion after five immunizations. Following three cycles of hybridoma selection, a cell line was chosen and expanded to produce a monoclonal antibody. The whole process related to antibody preparation was based on that described in a previous publication [32].

2.4. Establishment of ELISA for DBP Analysis

Checkerboard assays were conducted to optimize the concentrations of antibody and coating antigen [32]. Assay buffer, which is used to dilute the sample, plays an important role in ELISA analysis. To evaluate the effect of the alcohol content of wine on ELISA performance, ethanol was chosen as the co-solvent. Various fractions of ethanol content in PBS (10%, 20%, 30% and 40% by volume fraction) were tested. Additionally, ionic strength of assay buffer was optimized by varying the content of sodium chloride in PBS (1%, 3%, 6% and 10% by mass fraction). Optical density (OD) value of each well was read by a micro-titer plate detector (Multiskanmicroplate reader, Thermo Labsystem, Helsinki, Finland).

Under the optimized conditions, series of DBP standards were analyzed. An inhibition curve was plotted based on OD values and DBP concentrations. The concentration of DBP resulting 50% inhibition of the maximum OD value was set as IC50 value, which was obtained based on the inhibition curve. Similarly, the IC50 values of DBP analogues were determined. Cross-reactivity (CR) for each DBP analogue was calculated with an equation described previously [31]:

CR % = ( I C 50 value of DBP ) / ( I C 50 value of related compound ) .

2.5. Recovery Tests

Considering the widespread presence of phthalate esters, an alcoholic simulant was prepared for recovery tests. The simulant was prepared using water and ethyl alcohol at a volumetric mixture ratio of 1:1(v/v). Fortified samples of the simulant at two concentrations (100 and 300 ng/mL) were used to evaluate this ELISA system.

2.6. Sample Analysis

Several liquor samples, purchased from a local market, were detected using the ELISA we developed. In addition, the samples were also analyzed with a linear ion trap-orbitrap hybrid mass spectrometer (MS) at high resolution (LTQ-Oribitrap XL, Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). The conditions for DBP analysis with the LTQ-Oribitrap-MS were as follows: the parent ion of DBP was m/z 301.1401; two resulting daughter ions were m/z 245.0719 and m/z 171.09. All data were calculated using the Origin software 8.0 (OriginLab, Northampton, MA, USA).

3. Results and Discussion

3.1. Development of ELISA

Based on the results of checkerboard determination, the concentration of the antigen OVA-DBaP used for coating was 0.1 μg/mL, while the optimum concentration of the antibody was 0.03 μg/mL. Ethanol, was used as co-solvent in the assay buffer to enhance the solubility of DBP. As shown in Figure 1(a), the ethanol content had a large effect on the maximum OD (the value for control wells). Increasing the fraction of ethanol led to an obvious increase in the maximum OD. The lowest IC50 value was obtained when the ethanol content was 20% (v/v) in assay buffer.

Ionic strength in the assay buffer greatly affects the binding between antigen and antibody. An appropriate ionic strength in the reaction system is very useful in limiting non-specific antibody binding. From Figure 1(b), a decrease of the maximum OD value was found with the increasing ionic strength of the assay buffer. The maximum OD value was less than 1.0 when the percentage composition of sodium chloride in assay buffer was up to 10% (m/v). Lowest IC50 value with a suitable maximum OD value was obtained when the sodium chloride content was 3% (m/v) in assay buffer. Thus, PBS buffer containing 20% (v/v) ethanol and 3% (m/v) sodium chloride was used as assay buffer in our following experiments.

An “s” shaped curve was created under the optimized conditions above (Figure 2). The IC50 value was calculated as 33.6 ± 2.5 ng/mL based on detection of DBP standards. The linear range was 5–250 ng/mL. The sensitivity was set to produce 20% inhibition of the maximum OD value and it was calculated as 8.6 ng/mL for this indirect competitive ELISA.

3.2. Cross-Reaction Tests

Eleven phthalate esters and haptens were tested for cross-reaction using the optimized ELISA. As shown in Table 1, this immunoassay system has highly specificity to DBP with little cross-reactivity to other phthalate esters. The related compounds including DIBP (di-isobutyl phthalate), benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP), di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) and hapten (DBaP) were poorly recognized by this ELISA with low cross-reactivity 4.8%, 2.6%, 2.2%, 2.5% respectively. Little cross-reactivity (<1%) was found for the seven other tested compounds.

The chemical structure of members of the phthalate ester family is very similar. For example, the fine distinctions between DOP (di-n-octyl phthalate) and DBP lie in the length of the ester linkage. However, the prepared monoclonal antibody here distinguishes DBP very well. Similarly, a previously reported antibody against diethyl phthalate (DEP) also showed little cross-reactivity to other members of phthalate ester family (<8%) [22]. One possible explanation is that the antibody can differentiate the length of ester linkage in the benzene ring.

3.3. Evaluation of DBP Detection in Liquor

The samples of fortified liquor simulant were diluted 2.5-fold with PBS and then analyzed using the proposed ELISA. The detection results were summarized in Table 2. The recovery rate of lower-level fortified samples (100 ng/mL) was 87.7% ± 6.9% with a coefficient of variation (CV) of 8.4% (inter-day tests) and 12.8% (intra-day tests). For samples at higher fortification level (300 ng/mL), the recovery rate was 94.5% ± 5.7% with CV values of 7.1% (inter-day tests) and 9.7% (intra-day tests).

In view of the dilution factors and sensitivity value (8.6 ng/mL), the detection of limit (LOD) of this ELISA for liquor samples was 21.5 ng/mL. Three liquor samples (S1, S2 and S7) were found DBP residues using this ELISA while all the liquor samples were confirmed to contain DBP residues ranging from 3.12 ng/mL to 118.2 ng/mL using LTQ-Orbitrap MS (Table 3). This immunoassay successfully told DBP presence in liquor samples with residue level higher than 21.5 ng/mL. Considering the MRL requirements (300 ng/mL) in food, our proposed ELISA could be applied to screen DBP residues in liquor.

4. Conclusions

A specific monoclonal antibody against DBP was prepared and used to develop an ELISA. With simple dilution, liquor samples could be successfully analyzed using this proposed ELISA. The detection results showed good correlation with those from liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. This ELISA exhibits satisfactory performance in DBP analysis with LOD value of 21.5 ng/mL and shows great potential for liquor screening.
