256 Methods for the preparation of antibodies directed against dithiocarbamates and the use thereof for detection of nitric oxide in body fluids US644961 1996-05-15 US5869348A 1999-02-09 Ching-San Lai
In accordance with the present invention, ELISA methods for the measurement of NO levels in mammalian body fluids utilizing monoclonal antibodies directed against dithiocarbamates and related iron complexes are described. It has been found that conjugation of dithiocarbamates to a macromolecule produces immunogenic dithiocarbamate-macromolecule derivatives. Such derivatives can be used for the production (e.g., in rodents) of monoclonal antibodies directed against different forms of dithiocarbamates (e.g., free dithiocarbamates, as well as complexes thereof with iron and, optionally, nitric oxide). In contrast, non-derivatized dithiocarbamates alone are not immunogenic. The simple, easy and non-invasive ELISA methods for measurement of NO levels in body fluids will find a variety of uses, e.g., for diagnosis and monitoring of NO overproduction that has been associated with many inflammatory and infectious diseases.
