Development of a Highly Sensitive Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay for Mouse Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase Detection by Combining a Polyclonal Capture Antibody with a Nanobody Tracer.

ABSTRACT: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) for the detection of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH), a key enzyme in the metabolism of fatty acids and a biomarker, may increasingly represent an important diagnostic tool. However, there is a lack of ELISAs for mouse sEH quantification, thus resulting in a bottleneck in understanding the pathogenesis of many diseases related to sEH based on mouse models. In this work, nanobodies recognizing mouse sEH were obtained through rebiopanning against mouse sEH in the previous phage display library of human sEH. Later, we developed four ELISAs involving a combination of anti-mouse sEH polyclonal antibodies (pAbs) and nanobodies. It was found that the double antibodies worked as dual filters and had a huge impact on both the sensitivity and selectivity of
