Background | This ELISA assay utilise the principle of competitive binding to measure the concentration of hormone in plant extracts. The ABA (abscisic acid C1) hormone and ABA-glucosylester specific antibodies are precoated to the surface of the reaction wells. The plant extract sample, containing an unknown amount of hormone, is mixed in the reaction well with a known amount of a tracer to react with a limited number of antibodies in the reaction wells. During incubation the hormone in the sample competes with the tracer for the antibody binding sites. Unbound hormone, tracer and plant extract are washed out of the reaction wells. Following substrate addition which reacts with a tracer bound to the antibody and produces a yellow-coloured product. The absorbance of the sample is converted to concentration of hormone by means of a standard curve which is produced by simultaneously treating standards along with the samples.

Sample clean upProcessing of plant extracts required prior ELISA analysis may vary from plant to plant and will depend upon the actual research objective. In most cases pigments and lipophilic material needs to be removed by C18 reversed phase chromatography and subsequently by combined DEAE-cellulose-reversed phase C18 columns. No sample purification is required for algae, cyanobacterial and mosses.
For detection of ABA from cereal grains use: extraction in 80% methanol drying to water phase, dilution by water, purification via C18 column, elution from the column by 100% methanol followed by drying, methylation and analyses.The samples have to be methylated by diazomethane before ELISA analysis, for example by using a commercial reagent 2.0 M Trimethylsilyl)diazomethane solution in hexane (Sigma) or using a safer alternative TMSD (Trimethylsilyl diazomethane).
Example of ABA extraction and purification from plant tissuesFrozen plant tissues are ground to a fine powder under liquid nitrogen. The powder is extracted in ice-cold 70% ethanol (10 ml . g-1 FW) containing sodium diethyldithiocarbamate asantioxidant (400 ug . g-1 FW). About 420 Bq (25.000 dpm) of [2-3H] ABA tracer is added to the extracts to monitor for losses during purification steps and to validate the chromatographic data. After 2 h extraction, the homogenate is centrifuged (15 000 g, 4°C) and pellets re-extracted by the same way. The combined extracts are then purified over a reversed phase C18 column to eliminate chlorophyll and lipids. The extracts are subsequently concentrated to approx. 1.0 ml by rotary evaporation under vacuum at 35°C. The samples are diluted to 20 ml with ammonium acetate buffer (40 mM, pH 6.5) containing sodium diethyldithiocarbamate. For the immunoassay dilution analysis, the 2 ml of eluates is dried in vacuo and re-dissolved in Tris-buffered saline (TBS, 50 mM Tris, 10 mM NaCl, 1 mM MgCl2, pH 7.5). Aliquots of these solutions are eitheranalysed in serial dilutions or mixed with known amounts of ABA standards and then analysed by ELISAs. The extracts are further purified using combined diethylaminoethylcellulose (1.0 x 5.0 cm) - octadecylsilica (0.5 x 1.5 cm) columns. ABA and its amino acid metabolites are loaded onto a DEAE column cartridge which is then washed with 10 ml dest. water and eluted in 5 ml 6% HCOOH (v/v). The eluates are loaded onto a C18 cartridge and after washing with 5 ml dest. water eluted with 5 ml methanol. The eluates are than evaporated to dryness, dissolved in 50 ul 70% ethanol + 250 ul H2O and filtered through a HPLC pre-filter (0.22 um). The samples have to be methylated by diazomethane before ELISA analysis, for example by using a commercial reagent 2.0 M Trimethylsilyl)diazomethane solution in hexane (Sigma).
HPLC separation of samples is recommended to purify away glucosylesters and amino acid conjugates which may bind anti-ABA antibodies.
Sample type: frozen or lyophilized.
