IntroductionAristolochic acids (AAs) are naturally occurring nephrotoxicants and human carcinogens. Aristolochic acid I (AA-I) and aristolochic acid II (AA-II) are two important AAs with clear toxicity.ObjectiveTo obtain a monoclonal antibody (MAb) recognising AA-I and AA-II and develop an Eastern blotting technique for the specific visualisation and easy determination of AA-I and AA-II in plant extracts or tissues of Aristolochia and Asarum species.MethodsA hybridoma secreting MAb against AAs was prepared by cell fusion with splenocytes derived from a mouse immunised with AA-I-keyhole limpet haemocyanin (KLH) conjugate and the myeloma cell line SP2/0-Ag14. AA-I and AA-II were separated by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and then blotted onto a positively charged polyethersulphone (PES) membrane using a modified carbodiimide method. The resulting membrane-bound AA-protein conjugates were linked to the newly prepared MAb and then to the secondary antibody labelled with peroxidase. 4-Chloro-1-naphthol was then added as the peroxidase substrate for staining.ResultsMAb 2A10-10B showed a high specificity for AA-I (100%) and AA-II (69.3%) and low cross reactivity ( 2.2%) toward analogues that may disrupt detection of AA-I and AA-II in plants. An established Eastern blotting method was applied to the immunohistolocalisation of AA-I and AA-II in dry plant tissues, and this analysis showed that the phelloderm, cortex and phloem of Aristolochia manshuriensis stem may contain higher amounts of total AA-I and AA-II as compared with the pith and xylem.ConclusionThis method was extremely useful for the visual screening of AA-I and AA-II among easily mistaken herbal medicines. Copyright (c) 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.A sensitive monoclonal antibody (MAb) which simultaneously recognises aristolochic acids I and II was obtained. As one of the application of MAb 2A10-10B, an Eastern blotting method was newly developed for the visual-screening of AA-I and AA-II in Aristolochia and Asarum species. The established Eastern blotting method was also applied to the immunohistolocalisation of AA-I and AA-II in dry plant tissues.
