The aim of this study was to establish an assessment method for determiningα-Gal(α-1, 3-galactosyle) epitopes contained in animal tissue or animal tissue-derived biological materials with ELISA inhibition assay. Firstly, a 96 well plate was coated with Galα-1, 3-Gal/bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a solid phase antigen and meanwhile, the anti-α-Gal M86 was used to react withα-Gal antigens which contained in the test materials. Then, the residual antibodies (M86) in the supernatant of M86-Gal reaction mixture were measured using ELISA inhibition assay by theα-Gal coating plate. The inhibition curve of the ELISA inhibition assay, the R2=0.999, was well established. Checking using bothα-Gal positive materials (rat liver tissues) andα-Gal negative materials (human placenta tissues) showed a good sensitivity and specificity. Based on the presently established method, theα-Gal expression profile of rat tissues, decellular animal tissue-derived biological materials and porcine dermal before and after decellular treatment were determined. The M86 ELISA inhibition assay method, which can quantitatively determine theα-Gal antigens contained in animal tissues or animal tissue-derived biomaterials, was refined. This M86 specific antibody based-ELISA inhibition assay established in the present study has good sensitivity and specificity, and could be a useful method for determining remnantα-1, 3Gal antigens in animal tissue-derived biomaterials.
