Abstract
A new enzyme immunoassay for detection of some pyrethroid pesticides (permethrin, phenothrin) and their derivatives
containing 3-phenoxybenzoic group has been developed. It is based on enzyme multiplied immunoassay technique (EMIT), modulation of catalytic activity of hapten-enzyme conjugate by anti-hapten antibodies and restoring the initial activity level by free hapten in the sample tested. Alpha-amylase from Bacillus subtilis is proposed as a new enzyme label for EMIT. Inhibition of the 3-phenoxybenzoic acid-amylase conjugate by specific antibodies was revealed at the systems detecting non-
splinted starch or released aldehyde groups. EMIT conditions for pyrethroid pesticides and their derivatives have been optimized. The assay time is not more than 45 min, the detection limits reach 2-5 ng ml _I_ Photometric measurements can be carried out by means of standard ELBA equipment. The proposed label was also used to develop EMIT for pesticide 2,4- dichlorophenbxyacetic acid.

1. Introduction
Pesticides have become an indispensable part of
modern agricultural technologies, but their high toxi- city generates a need to control pesticides’ content in
different substances: soil, water, agricultural products, etc. Enzyme immunoassay is one of the most accep- table techniques for quantitative determination of pesticides. Being based on the use of specific anti- bodies and high-active enzyme labels, it ensures spe- cificity and sensitivity corresponding to the current

practical requirements. This is a matter of its intensive elaboration for different pesticides nowadays [l-7].
The vast majority of investigators propose solid
phase technique of the enzyme immunoassay (ELISA). The alternate approach is homogeneous
technique that permits to exclude diffusion-dependent processes, separation and washing steps and this way to accelerate and simplify the assay. Principle of homogeneous enzyme multiplied immunoassay technique (EMIT) consists in modulation of catalytic activity of enzyme-antigen conjugates after their binding with antibodies 181. However, special choice of enzyme and conjugation chemistry is necessary so that significant changes in the catalytic activity are attained. Known approaches for solving

of this problem [9-141 are not sufficiently universal.
Therefore the choice of appropriate labels is an extre- mely important problem for further EMIT develop- ment.
In the present investigation we propose and char- acterize alpha-amylase from BacilEus subtilis (E.C. 3.2.1.1) as a new label for EMIT. Synthetic pyre-
throids were chosen as model antigens because of intensive implementation of these insecticides
[15-171.
2. Experimental
2. I. Materials
Purified preparations of pesticides permethrin and phenothrin were obtained and provided by Dr. E.A.
Shapiro from N.D. Zelinsky Institute of Organic Chemistry, Moscow. Their derivatives 3-phenoxyben-
zoic acid (3-PBAc), permethrinic acid, chrysanthemic
acid and 3-phenoxybenzalcohol were provided by Dr. S.A. Eremin from Moscow State University. (Struc- tural formulas of the pesticides are given in Fig. 1.)

Alpha-amylase was obtained from Amylosubtilin
Gl Ox- 1 crude preparation of Bacillus subtiEs cell-free extracts (Ferment, Lithuania) through the purification technique [ 181, that included precipitation by Ca- phosphate gel, ion-exchange chromatography on CM-cellulose column with elution by NaCl gradient, and gel-filtration on Sephadex G-75 (Pharmacia) column.
The bacillary alpha-amylase, bovine serum albumin
(BSA, Sigma), haemocyanine from Paralithodes
camtschatica (HC, provided by Dr. I.Yu. Sakharov, Moscow State University), ovalbumin (OA, Serva)
and soybean trypsin inhibitor (STI, Reanal) were used for syntheses of protein-hapten conjugates.
1-cyclohexyl-3(2-morpholinoethyl)carbodiimide metho-p-toluenesulfonate (CalBiochem), 2,4,6-trini- trobenzensulfonic acid (Chemapol), N-hydroxysucci- nimide, 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid, sodium
dodecylsulfate-o-dianisidine (all from Sigma), dimethylformamide, polyethylene glycol (Mw 6
kDa), Tween-20, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) (all from Serva), benzoic acid, 3-hydroxyben- zoic acid, 2-naphthoic acid (all from Aldrich), horse-
radish peroxidase (Reanal), 2,3,5-triphenyl-2H- tetrazolium bromide, glucose oxidase and potato starch (all from Reakhim, Russia) were also used in the experiments. Constituents of buffer solutions and other chemicals were of analytical grade.
Optically transparent polystyrene microELISA plates (Dynatech) were used to carry out immunoas- says.x
2.2. Preparation of hapten-protein conjugates
The 3-PBAc-protein conjugates were synthesized according to [19], with modifications.
15 mg 1-cyclohexyl-3(2-morpholinoethyl)carbo- diimide metho-p-toluenesulfonate and 4 mg N-hydro- xysuccinimide were added to 4 mg 3-PBAc dissolved in 0.5 ml of dimethylformamide and incubated for 2 h at room temperature with stirring. Then a 1% protein water solution was mixed with the activated hapten, ensuring the initial hapten : protein molar ratio equal to 200 : 1 (for HC), 50 : 1 (for BSA) or 20 : 1 (for OA, ST1 and alpha-amylase). The reaction mixture was incubated for 1 h at room temperature with stirring and then at 4°C overnight.

The conjugates were separated from low molecular weight compounds by dialysis and/or gel-filtration on Sephadex G-25 (Pharmacia) column in 0.05 M K-phosphate buffer with 0.1 M NaCl, pH 7.4
(PBS).
2.3. Determination of the conjugates composition
To calculate hapten : protein ratios for the obtained
conjugates, the numbers of surface amino groups in the native protein and in conjugated one were com- pared. They were detected according to the following
procedure [20,21]. Water solutions of native protein and hapten-pro-
tein conjugates (1 mg ml-‘) were prepared. 50 ~1 aliquots of these solutions and water (blank sample) were dispensed on a plate; 50 ~1 of 2,4,6-trinitroben- zenesulfonic acid solution (2 mg ml-‘) and 50 ~1 of saturated NaHC03 solution in water were then added. The mixture was incubated for 2 h at 37°C. Then 25 pl of 10% sodium dodecylsulfate water solution and
25 ~1 of 0.5 M HCl were added. The amino group concentrations are proportional to increase of optical
density at 405 nm, being measured by a vertical
ELISA photometer MR-580 (Dynatech). The titration results were compared with the
calculations based on changes in ultraviolet spectra of the proteins after incorporation of the hapten groups.
2.4. Immuniz.ation
Chinchilla rabbits weighting 3-4 kg were immu- nized with 3-PBAc-HC and 3-PBAc-BSA according
to the following procedure [19]. Immunogen dissolved in PBS (1 mg ml-‘) was
emulsified with equal volume of Freund’s complete
adjuvant (Difco). On days 1, 15 and 29, 1 ml of the prepared mixture was injected intracutaneously at multiple sites on the back from scapula to sacrum.
On the 89th day the first cycle of reimmunization was carried out as follows: the rabbits were boosted intra- venously with 0.3 ml of the immunogen dissolved in PBS (1 mg ml-‘), and were bled 8 days later. This boosting/bleeding procedure was repeated 3-4 times on a monthly basis.
2.5. Antibody preparation
Antisera were emitted by placing blood samples for 12 h at 4°C. Upper layers were collected, divided into aliquots and stored at -20°C.
Antisera titres were determined by the standard technique of indirect ELISA for antibodies. 3- PBAc-ST1 or 3-PBAc-OA conjugate was immobilized
in wells of a microELISA plate. After this antiserum
dilution, goat-anti-rabbit peroxidase conjugate and peroxidase substrate were added to the plate
sequentially. Optical densities of the peroxidase pro- ducts were measured using the vertical photometer
MR-580. IgG was precipitated twice from the antisera by
equal volume of 20% polyethylene glycol solution
WI.
2.6. Analysis of products for amylolytic reaction
Cleavage products for Amylose- 17 (glucose oligo- mer, n=17) were analyzed by reverse phase high
pressure liquid chromatography [23]. The enzyme or the enzyme-antibody complexes was incubated
with substrate solution (10 mg ml-‘) in 67 mM K- phosphate buffer, pH 6.5. Then products were sepa- rated on Silasorb-NH? column in the system
acetonitrile : water =7 : 3. The obtained peaks were compared with standard samples of glucose and its oligomers.
2.7. Activity measurements
Potato starch (1% in 67 mM K-phosphate buffer,
pH 6.5) was used as substrate solution for amylase and its conjugates. Hydrolysis was carried out at 37°C. The following techniques were used for the activity
measurement [24-271.
Glucose formed was detected through coupled glucose oxidaselperoxidase system: glucose was oxidized to glucuronic acid and H202, and then o- dianisidine was oxidized by the H202 obtained.
Non-splinted starch chains were determined by iodine probe. KI (0.5 mg ml-‘) and I2 (0.05 mg ml-‘) were dissolved sequentially in
0.1 M HCl. 7.5 ~1 of hydrolysate was added to 150 pl of this solution and stirred.

3. Released aldehydes were detected as described below. 50 pl of the following solution was added to the equal volume of hydrolysate: 3,5-dinitrosa- licylic acid (5 mg ml-‘) and sodium tartrate
(150 mg ml-‘) dissolved in 0.2 M NaOH. The obtained mixture was boiled for 5 min, and then aliquots were transferred to another plate for opti-
cal measurements.
4. By other technique of the released aldehydes detec- tion 2,3,5-triphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide solu- tion (7 mg ml-‘) in 0.2 M NaOH was added to the
equal volume of the hydrolysate (50 p1+50 ~1). The mixture was boiled for 5 min, and then aliquots were transferred to another plate.
The colored products were measured by the vertical
photometer MR-580 at 405 nm (technique I), 630 nm (technique II) or 570 nm (techniques III and IV).
2.8. EMIT of pyrethroid pesticides
3-PBAc-amylase conjugate and anti-3-PBAc anti-
bodies were diluted in 67 mM K-phosphate buffer, pH 6.5, containing 0.05% Tween-20. Then 25 pl of the conjugate and 50 pl of antibodies were incubated together in plate wells with the pesticide sample to
be analyzed (25 pl) at 37°C with stirring. 100 ~1 of 2% starch solution in the same buffer was added, and hydrolysis was carried out at 37°C. Techniques II-IV
(see above) were used for the activity measurements.
Concentrations of the immunoreagents and dura- tions of the steps were optimized by special experi- ments. The chosen EMIT conditions are shown in
Section 3 (see Table 2).
2.9. EMT of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid
(2,4-D)
Obtaining of anti-2,4-D antibodies was described in
[ 191. The 2,4-D-amylase conjugates were prepared and characterized in the same manner as the 3-PBAc- amylase ones, controlling the same molar ratios of the
pesticide and other compounds. The 2,4-D-amylase conjugate was used for the
EMIT in concentration 0.5 pg ml-‘, and anti-2,4-D IgG in concentration 2 pg ml-‘. Immune reaction and starch hydrolysis continued 15 min each. Technique II (see above) was applied for the final measurements.
3. Results and discussion
3.1. Immunoreagents preparation and
characterization
Permethrin, phenothrin and related insecticides are known to be the esters composed from the 3-phenox- ybenzoic residue and a variable group. So it is impor-
tant to control the content of not only the native
pesticides but 3-phenoxybenzoic group at different stages of destruction as well.
That is why we have obtained antibodies against 3- PBAc. Antisera from different animals and different immunization cycles were compared using indirect
ELISA of antibodies. The limiting dilution for that the optical density of the peroxidase reaction product had been reliably @=0.95) higher comparing to non-spe- cific binding was regarded as the titre of the antiserum tested. For further investigations the best preparations
were chosen, having titres in the reaction with 3- PBAc-ST1 and 3-PBAc-OA conjugates equal to
1 : 15000 and 1 : 20000. These levels were achieved after first and second reimmunizations by 3-PBAc- BSA.
The synthesized conjugates of alpha-amylase with 3-phenoxybenzoic acid retain 60-70% of the initial enzymatic activity, see Fig. 2. Calculations of their composition by surface amino groups titration and by
change in ultraviolet adsorption spectra gave good agreement of the results. In accordance to them, the
conjugate preparations contained from 5 to 10 resi- dues of 3-PBAc per one enzyme molecule.
3.2. Catalytic properties of free amylase and its
complexes with antibodies
The active center of the bacillary alpha-amylase includes 8 binding sites, each interacting with one next glucose residue of the substrate chain [28-301. Because of this the immune complexes formation may influence not only on the total level of the enzymatic activity, but on the ratio of the reaction
products as well. To study this effect in more details, we have determined relative shares of the hydrolytic products for Amylose-17. Amylase bound to antibo- dies was demonstrated to be rather exoenzyme that endoenzyme: share of short hydrolytic fragments increased, see Table 1. Analogous data were obtained

in [ 181. The phenomenon can be interpreted as a result
of partial steric hindrances for the interaction with long starch fragments.
3.3. Influence of antibodies to 3-PBAc-amylase
catalytic activity for different detection
techniques
The data shown in Table 1 demonstrates that glu-
cose concentration in the hydrolysate indicates the conjugate interaction with the specific antibodies. The
released glucose can be measured by glucose oxidasel peroxidase coupled system [24]. But glucose is not the main product for starch hydrolysis by alpha-amylases,
and so its reliable detection is impeded. The changes
of the products share evoke also more deep starch hydrolysis by immune complexes as compared with free enzyme. We demonstrated, however, that reliable detection of these changes requires practically full conversion of the substrate. Such equilibrium, when the formed short oligomers are not cleaved further, is
reached only after 1 h and more. This long duration of the assay is a significant obstacle for its analytical
applications.
Two ways of activity detection at non-equilibrium conditions were found to be more acceptable for the revealing of antibodies influence onto the enzyme and
the development of analytical systems. The first one is based on determination of non-splinted starch frag- ments by iodine probe, and the second one on inter- action of 2,3,5-triphenyl-2H-tetrazolium or 3,S-
dinitrosalicylic acid with the aldehyde groups, that are released after breaking of the starch bonds. The both techniques have advantages and disadvantages.
From one hand, the iodine reaction is over almost instantaneously, whereas the interaction of aldehydex with a specific reagent increases the assay duration.
From other hand, the second approach is more sensi- tive (it permits to detect lower enzyme concentrations)
and gives prolonged linear interval on the calibration curve (see Fig. 3). 2,3,5-triphenyl-2H-tetrazolium and 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid demonstrate equal sensitiv- ities of the activity detection.
For further experiments the conjugate con- centrations in the range 1.5-5 pg ml -’ (by protein) were chosen. They correspond approximately to
half of the full substrate hydrolysis. At these condi-
tions techniques II-IV demonstrate inhibition of the 3-PBAc-amylase activity by anti-3-PBAc anti-
bodies (see Fig. 4): the hydrolysate obtained contains more starch chains and less released aldehyde groups.

concentration for two antisera preparations. The times of antigen-
antibody interaction and starch hydrolysis were equal to 15 min
each. The data are the average of four measurements with variation
coefficients below 15%. Curves were plotted by a four-parameter curve fit.
3.4. Development of EMIT for pyrethroid pesticides
and their derivatives
The discovered modulation of the activity was used as the basis for homogeneous immunodetection of
pyrethroid pesticides and their derivatives. The assay is based on competitive interaction of pesticides with antibodies followed by restoration of the initial level
of conjugate activity (i.e. activity of the conjugate without antibodies). The proposed technique includes three steps:
1. Incubation of the pesticide-containing sample and
pesticide-amylase conjugate with anti-pesticide antibodies.
2. Starch hydrolysis. 3. Detection of products of the hydrolysis.
Choice of reagent concentrations and stage dura-
tions for the EMIT was carried out. Concentrations of 3-PBAc-amylase conjugate and anti-3-PBAc IgG were varied from 0.5 to 20 pg ml-‘; durations of the assay stages from 5 to 60 min. Maximal sensitivity of the assay was a criterium of the optimization. Therefore, the chosen concentrations do not ensured full inhibition of 3-PBAc-amylase conjugate by anti-
bodies. In other case, excess of antibody molecules impedes detection of competitive binding with native
pesticides. Moreover, some antibody preparations (see curve 1 in Fig. 4) cannot inhibit hydrolytic activity of
the conjugate to completion. This phenomenon is probably stipulated for their specificity to auxiliary glucose-binding sites of the enzyme active center rather than to the site of hydrolysis.
The optimized parameters of EMIT are shown in Table 2. Competitive curves obtained at these condi- tions are given in Fig. 5. As curve 1 suggests, 3-PBAc
can be detected at concentrations as low as 5 ng ml-’ (range of quantitative detection is from 5 to 50 ng ml-‘). Native pesticides permethrin and pheno- thrin, both containing 3-phenoxybenzoic group, also
compete for binding with the antibodies (Fig. 5, curves 3, 4). Sensitivities of their detection reach 2 ng ml-’ (ICsn S-10 ng ml-‘), being even higher that in the 3-PBAc case.
A possible cause of this effect is a negative influ- ence of COOH group on the immune recognition. Really, this group was masked in the immunogen after

ported by curve 2, that demonstrate high EMIT sen- sitivity for 3-phenoxybenzalcohol (limit of revealing,
2.5 ng ml-‘, I&,, 20 ng ml-‘). Thus, the technique
may be used both for the native pyrethroids and the products of their degradation. Testings of the influence of benzoic acid, 3-hydroxybenzoic acid and 2- naphthoic acid (in the range of concentrations from 0.1 ng ml-’ to 0.5 pg ml-‘) on the competitive curves
of the developed EMIT have demonstrated that the studied analogs of 3-PBAc do not bind with anti-3- PBAc antibodies. The same effects have been obtained for permethrinic acid and chrysanthemic acid, pro- ducts of hydrolysis for permethrin and phenothrin, accordingly (Fig. 5, curves 5, 6).

The assay time does not exceed 45 min, being substantially less than the one of pyrethroid ELISAs, the later usually is in the range l-2 h [31-361. The reached sensitivities are comparable with known ELISA systems. Techniques II-IVof activity detection
do not differ trustworthy in the obtained EMIT sensi-
tivities. Inter-assay coefficients of variation (n=4) are 10.3% for 5 ng ml-’ of 3-PBAc and 7.4% for
20 ng ml-’ of 3-PBAc; intra-assay C.V. (n=4) 14.8% and 11.6%, accordingly.
It should be noted that the color products obtained can be measured by standard photometers for ELISA.

the unique property of the pair: 3-phenoxybenzoic acid plus the antibodies obtained. With this in mind analogous EMIT for the pesticide 2,4-dichlorophe-
noxyacetic acid (2,4-D) has been developed. This
system also turns to be appropriate for reliable and sensitive measurements, see Fig. 6.
4. Conclusions
Bacillary alpha-amylase was proposed as a new label for homogeneous enzyme immunoassay. With its use the assay for pyrethroids and their derivatives
containing 3-phenoxybenzoic group was developed. The assay is more rapid as compared to the solid phase
ones and can be carried out by standard ELISA
equipment. The proposed approach is suitable for determination of other low molecular weight com-
pounds.
