Our interests are in the development of immunoassay-based fast scanning methods for persistent organic pollutants. To develop the immunoassay method of polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE), a model compound of PBDE, 2,3′,4,5′,6-pentabromodiphenylether (BDE-121), has been chosen to develop its antibody and the competitive indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is developed. The hapten of BDE-121 containing reactive carboxylic acid was synthesized and conjugated to carrier proteins (bovine serum albumin [BSA] and ovalbumin [OVA]). Anti-BDE-121 polyclonal antibody was then developed in rabbits as a result of immunization with the BDE-121–BSA conjugate. The optimal amount of coating antigen BDE-121–OVA conjugate and the dilution of antiserum needed in the ELISA were determined with the checkerboard method, and the effects of the properties of PBST (phosphate-buffered saline and Tween 20) buffer (pH and salt concentration) and chemical solvent (types and concentrations) on the ELISA were investigated to achieve a rapid robust assay with high sensitivity. Under the optimized conditions, the developed indirect ELISA shows a linear detection range from 1.74 to 84.1 ng/ml, with an IC50 value of 8.07 ng/ml and a detection limit of 0.644 ng/ml. In total, 11 kinds of compounds were tested for calculating the cross-reactivity, which was less than 8% for nearly all of them. Real samples were analyzed by the proposed immunoassay and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS).
