Abstract: | An antiserum against gibberellin A4 (GA4) raised in rabbits and its partially purified antibodies were used to develop radioimmunoassay (RIA) and indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) for GA4. Of three immunoassays tested, an ELISA based on the NAD-dependent redox cycle (enzyme-amplified ELISA) had highest sensitivity. Levels of methylated GA4 detected by this most sensitive method ranged from 0.1 fmol/assay (3.5 fg/assay) to 0.1 pmol/assay (3.5 pg/assay) suggesting applicability of this method to the detection of gibberellins in purified plant extracts. |
