Abstract

The ratio of hapten and bovine serum albumin in an antigen conjugate was determined by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry. A hybridoma secreting monoclonal antibodies against solamargine was produced by fusing splenocytes immunized with a solamargine-bovine serum albumin conjugate with HAT-sensitive mouse myeloma cell line, P3-X63-Ag8-653. Extensive cross-reaction of anti-solamargine antibodies against solasonine appeared. Aglycone of solamargine, solasodine cross-reacted with anti-solamargine antibodies resulting in a 43.8% cross-reaction. Insignificant cross-reaction appeared with tomatine (2.06%). The full measuring range of the assay extends from 57.5 pmol ml−1 to 11.5 nmol ml−1 of solamargine.
