Establishment and Application of a Method for the Determination of Ganoderic Acid A

A method for the quantitative determination of ganoderic acid A was constructed using the principle of indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and this method was used to determine the ganoderic A contents of Ganoderma lucidum samples in the market. The conjugate of ganoderic acid A and bovine serum albumin was used for four rounds of immunization on test rabbits to obtain rabbit antiganoderic acid A antibody IgG. The enzyme-labeled plate was coated with the conjugate of ganoderic acid A and ovalbumin. The first stage reaction in the indirect competitive ELISA was that the conjugate of ganoderic acid A in the sample competed with the conjugate coated on the enzyme-labeled plate to bind rabbit antibodies. The second stage reaction was the combination of goat anti-rabbit IgG–horseradish peroxidase and rabbit antiganoderic acid A antibody IgG. The results of the determination of ganoderic acid A standard by this method showed that the coefficient of variation of repeated wells in the group was
