Immunoextraction of testosterone and epitestosterone from human urine sample based on polyamidoamine modified silica

摘要

Polyamidoamine dendrimer (PAMAM) is one of a number of dendritic polymers with precise molecular structure, highly geometric symmetry, and a large number of terminal groups. The polyamidoamine modified silica was synthesized with microwave assisted protocol. Anti-epitestosterone monoclonal antibodies were immobilized onto the PAMAM grafted silica and prepared an off-line immunoextraction column that applied in the extraction of testosterone and epitestosterone. The results showed that the affinity activity of the anti-epitestosterone monoclonal antibodies was remained at high level after immobilization. It was satisfactory to apply this new type of immunoextraction column to analyze testosterone and epitestosterone in spiked urine sample.
