We report herein improved version of the synthesis of hapten based on cholecalciferol and its active metabolite 25-hydroxycholecalcalferol. The methodology of obtaining high-molecular immunogenic conjugates of vitamin D3 derivatives with bovine serum albumin and horseradish peroxidase conjugates for direct ELISA was optimized. Immunisation of rabbits was carried out and polyclonal antibodies to 25-hydroxycholecalceferol were obtained and tested in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. To improve the accuracy of the method, the sample preparation procedure was optimized, including the release of vitamin D3 and its active metabolites from complexes with vitamin D-binding protein.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
