Abstract
The immunoassay, based on the Y antibodies, is slightly more sensitive (detection limit 40Â ng/mL) than the assay based on polyclonal anti-pheromone rabbit antiserum (detection limit 80Â ng/mL). As revealed by thorough cross-reactivity studies, including 14 structurally similar to the olive fruit fly pheromone molecules, the newer immunoassay is less selective than the previous one and seems to cross react with few molecules bearing the spiroketal moiety.
