✦ Synopsis
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method has been developed for the determination of desmosine. The method is based on an inhibition immunoassay (under nonequilibrium conditions) and uses rabbit antisera directed against a desmosine-bovine serum albumin conjugate and microtiter plates coated with desmosine-gelatin conjugate. The assay quantitates desmosine in the range 2.5-50 pmol in tissue and urine samples. Important applications of this rapid and sensitive assay are in studying elastin metabolism and in screening for monoclonal antibodies against desmosine. Methods are described for obtaining a constant level ofsubstitution of desmosine per molecule of bovine serum albumin and for preparing a desmosine-gelatin coating antigen. Five different antibody preparations directed against desmosine exhibit 15-20s cross-reactivity toward pyridinohne (3-hydroxypyridinium), a nonreducible collagen crosslinking compound also present in urine and many tissue samples. 0 1985 Academic PW, IW.

## Abstract In this study, an enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed to quantify vitellogenin (Vtg) in zebrafish (__Danio rerio__). Zebrafish Vtg (zf‐Vtg) was purified from whole‐body homogenates of estradiol‐exposed zebrafish, and polyclonal antibodies against zf‐Vtg were raised.

In this report we describe an enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the quantitation of abscisic acid (ABA) in plant extracts. A microtitration plate is coated with an ABA-protein complex. The ABA, standard or sample, is then added to each well with a limiting quantity of rabbit anti-ABA anti
