Monoclonal antibody-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for quantification of majonoside R2 as an authentication marker for Nngoc Linh and Lai Chau ginsengs.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recent years have witnessed increasing interest in the high amount of ocotillol-type saponin in Panax vietnamensis, particularly in relation to majonoside R2 (MR2). This unique 3%-5% MR2 content impart Ngoc Linh and Lai Chau ginsengs with unique pharmacological activities. However, in the commercial domain, unauthentic species have infiltrated and significantly hindered access to the authentic, efficacious variety. Thus, suitable analytical techniques for distinguishing authentic Vietnamese ginseng species from others is becoming increasingly crucial. Therefore, MR2 is attracting considerable attention as a target requiring effective management measures.

Methods

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed by producing monoclonal antibodies ag
