Abstract in Portuguese
Infecções causadas por STEC constituem problema de saúde pública, pois estão associadas à síndrome hemolítica urêmica e colite hemorrágica. A detecção de isolados STEC depende de um ensaio diagnóstico sensível, específico e de baixo custo. Neste sentido, o presente estudo teve como objetivo o desenvolvimento de um ELISA de captura utilizando anticorpos policlonais e monoclonais. Primeiramente definiu-se um meio de cultivo para maior expressão de Stx e produziu-se anticorpos monoclonais anti-Stx1 e anti-Stx2. Os resultados mostraram que o cultivo de isolados por 4h em caldo EC com ciprofloxacina induziu maior produção de Stx no sobrenadante bacteriano, e o anticorpo monoclonal anti-Stx1 produzido reconheceu a subunidade A de ambas as toxinas, além de apresentar maior constante de afinidade que o anti-Stx2. Desta forma, o ELISA de captura foi padronizado com 250 mg/ml da fração IgG do soro policlonal anti-Stx1 e anti-Stx2 na sensibilização e 2,5 mg/ml de anticorpo monoclonal anti-Stx1 na captura da toxina, apresentando 80,7% de sensibilidade e 100% de especificidade.

Abstract in English
STEC infection is a public health problem, causing hemolytic-uremic syndrome and haemorrhagic colitis. The detection of STEC isolates depends on a sensitive, specific and low cost diagnostic method. Thus, the aim of this study was to develop a capture ELISA using polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies. For this purpose, first of all a growth media that induce better expression and production of Stx was defined and monoclonals anti-Stx1 e anti-Stx2 antibodies were produced. The results show that the growth of the isolates for 4hs in EC broth with ciprofloxacin increased the production of Stx in the bacterial supernantant, and the monoclonal anti-Stx1antibody produced was able to recognize the A subunit of both toxins, besides showing higher affinity constant than anti-Stx2. Thus, the capture ELISA was standardized using 250 mg/ml of the IgG enriched fraction of rabbit anti-Stx1 sera and anti-Stx2 for coating and 2,5 mg/ml of monoclonal anti-Stx1 antibody for the capture of the toxin, showing 80,7% of sensibility and e 100% de specificity.
