Abstract

Escherichia coli O157:H7 causes hemolytic uremic syndrome and hemorrhagic colitis in humans. The objectives of this study were to produce monoclonal antibody(MAb) against E. coli O157:H7 and to develop an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) for the rapid detection of E. coli O157:H7 in agri-stockbreeding. The characterization of MAb produced from hybridoma cell (HKEC 4G8-5) was validated by ELISA and Western blot. The produced MAb was specific to E. coli O157:H7 and showed weak cross-reaction to Staphylococcus aureus. The detection limit of ELISA based on 4G8-5 MAb was $10^5\;cell/mL$. Although the ELISA could not detect E. coli O157:H7 in the meat and sprout samples inoculated with $1{\times}10^1\;cell$/10 g without enrichment, the same samples after enrichment for 6 hr were confirmed to be positive by ELISA. These results indicated that the ELISA combined with short enrichment (6 hr) is useful tool for rapid screening of E. coli O157:H7 in various samples.

본 연구에서는 최근 식품이나 농축산물 등에서 빈번하게 검출되고 있는 장관출혈성 대장균인 E. coli O157:H7에 대한 단크론성 항체를 생산하고, 신속 정확하게 검색할 수 있는 간접효소면역분석법을 개발한 후 시료적용가능성을 확인하였다. 먼저 LPS, HKEC 및 FKEC를 E. coli O157:H7의 면역원으로 준비하여 mouse 면역에 사용하였고, 세포융합과 cloning을 실시하여 단클론성 항체를 생산하였으며, 생산된 항체 중 높은 역가를 나타낸 HKEC 4G8-5 항체로 ID-ELISA법을 개발하였다. 개발된 IDELISA법의 최저검출한계는 $10^5\;cell/mL$이었고, S. aureus와 Sal. Typhimurium에 대해서 약간의 반응성을 나타내었지만 E. coli O157:H7에 대해 보다 강한 반응성을 나타내었기 때문에 E. coli O157:H7에 매우 특이적인 분석법인 것으로 확인되었다. 개발된 ID-ELISA법을 이용하여 돼지고기, 소고기, 닭고기 및 새싹채소에 대한 검출률 향상을 위해 각 시료를 증균한 결과, 3종의 육류와 새싹채소는 각각 증균 6시간과 2시간부터 검출이 가능한 것으로 나타나 기존의 증균법보다 신속하게 시료 속 E. coli O157:H7을 분석할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 본 연구에서 개발된 IDELISA법을 적용하여 농축산물 중에 존재하는 E. coli O157:H7을 분석한다면 보다 신속하고 간편하게 분석할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
