STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE
Biotoxins are a type of pollutant whose presence in food, water and feed represents a real problem for human health and animal welfare, causing significant economic losses to the agri-food, agriculture and fish farming sectors, and can seriously affect water health. potable. Among the most relevant biotoxins due to their toxicity and prevalence, those produced by cyanobacteria stand out, especially the microcystin-LR, the cylindrospermopsin and the anatoxin-a.
Anatoxin-a (2-acetyl-9-azabicyl [4.2.1] non-2-eno) is a bicyclic secondary amine that incorporates an unsaturated alpha-beta methylcarbonyl moiety.

Planktothrix and Cylindrosperum. Under certain environmental conditions, these prokaryotic microorganisms are capable of proliferating in an exacerbated manner, giving rise to sudden hatching, known in the scientific literature as massive algal blooms [Osswald et al., Environ. Int., 2007, 33, 1070-1089]. These outcrops or blooms, in Anglo-Saxon terminology, are currently considered more frequent and intense than before due to the eutrophication resulting from human activity and global warming [Taranu et al., Ecol. Lett., 2015, 18, 375384]. The main routes of exposure of the human and animal population to anatoxin-a are through contaminated water, either by intentional intake (drinking water from surface sources) or accidental (recreational and sports uses), and through the consumption of dietary supplements derived from algae that do not always have adequate controls and may therefore contain unwanted species of toxin-producing cyanobacteria [Gutierrez-Praena et al., Food Chem. Toxicol., 2013, 53, 139-152]. An exhibition route that has become more relevant in recent years and therefore constitutes an emerging risk is through the consumption of fish and bivalve molluscs, both from traditional fishing and fish farming, which have developed in bodies of water affected by cyanobacterial pests and therefore have been exposed to these biotoxins [Ibelings et al., Environ. Pollut., 2007, 150, 177-192; Miller et al., PLOS ONE, 2010, 5, e12576;].
The first confirmed case of anatoxin-a poisoning occurred in Canada in the 1960s, where it caused the death of cattle, and at that time, due to its high toxicity, it was called as Very Fast Death Factor - injected intraperitoneally into these mice bite in less than 5 minutes [Araoz et al., Toxicon, 2010, 56, 813-828; Osswald et al., Environ. Int., 2007, 33, 1070-1089]. Its high potency as a neurotoxin (intraperitoneal LD50 in mice: 250 pg / kg) is due to the fact that it is an acetylcholine agonist, irreversibly joining the nicotlnic acetylcholine receptor at the neuromuscular level, which blocks the sodium channel and prevents membrane repolarization, causing muscle overstimulation that causes seizures, paralysis and finally death due to cardiorespiratory arrest. Anatoxin-a is one of the most frequently detected cyanotoxins, which together with toxicological and epidemiological criteria has led the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) to consider it a priority pollutant, and to promote additional studies to assess risks and establish regulations and guidelines [Hudnell and Dortch, In Cyanobacterial Harmful Algal Blooms (Chapter 2), Ed. HK Hudnell, Springer, NY, USA. 2008]. In this same line, the

EFSA recently advised to consider the possible presence of cyanotoxins in foods as an emerging risk, and published a call for the realization of a bibliographic report on this subject (OC / EFSA / SCER / 2014/04).
A large number of fatal cases have been recorded due to anatoxin-a intoxication in domestic animals, livestock and wildlife as a result of the intake of contaminated water, where concentrations higher than 1 mg / L have been recorded, a value at least 100 times higher than recommended by different official bodies [Trainer et al., Toxins, 2015, 7, 1206-1234]. In many areas the problem is recurring and is repeated every year.
As corresponds to a contaminant so widely distributed and relevant, there are several methods developed for its detection [Dimitrakopoulos et al., Anal.
Bioanal Chem, 2010, 397, 2245-2252; Lemoine et al., Toxicon, 2013, 61, 164-174; Roy-Lachapelle et al., Talanta, 2015, 132, 836-844], although the HPLC-MS / MS technique is undoubtedly the most sensitive and widely accepted procedure, and the one used by the USEPA as the official method. There is, however, a broad consensus on the need to obtain antibodies against anatoxin-a and to develop fast and reliable analytical methods that allow to efficiently manage the crises that occur, avoiding damage to human health and ecosystems Already in 2005, in a Symposium on cyanotoxins, the development of an ELISA for anatoxin-a was identified as a priority research line, an objective that remains in force 10 years later [Pegram and Nichols, In Harmful Algal Blooms Cyanobacterial (Chapter 15), Ed. HK Hudnell, Springer, NY, USA. 2008]. The closest to an immunoanalytic method developed to date is an assay based on the utilization of the acetylcholine receptor from electrode membranes of the electric stripe (Torpedo sp.) [Araoz et al., Toxicon, 2010, 56, 813- 828]. A kit based on this procedure is commercially available (Abraxis LLC, Warminster,
USA), although its sensitivity does not seem sufficient, and it is far from those exhibited by commercial ELISAs for other cyanotoxins. The only document attempting to synthesize a functionalized analogue of anatoxin-a with a view to generating antibodies was published in 2009, although the authors did not prove to have achieved the objective pursued, nor did this work have continuity later [Marc et al., Tetrahedron Lett ., 2009, 50, 4554-4557]. Immunoanalytic methods are based on selective, reversible and non-covalent binding between the substance to be detected (analyte) and an antibody that recognizes it with a high affinity. Depending on the analytical purpose, the antibodies can be adapted to different formats, such as
5

immunoaffinity columns, lateral flow assays and immunoreactive strips, biosensors, microarrays, and especially ELISA type tests.
To date, the preparation of antibodies capable of recognizing anatoxin-a has not been described, so that no immunoanaltic methods of any kind have been developed that allow the determination, detection, concentration or extraction of anatoxin-a using antibodies. There is therefore a need, in particular for the food, agricultural, clinical and / or environmental industry, to develop analytical methods comprising at least one antibody to anatoxin-a, preferably by using a kit.

After chromatographic purification, the fractions obtained containing the bioconjugate were brought to known concentrations of between 250,650 pg / mL in PBS buffer with 1% BSA (w / v) and thimerosal 0.02% (w / v) and stored at 4 ° C. The number of molecules of (20) conjugated for each molecule of HRP, determined by MALDI-TOF-MS, was n = 2.5 (see Table 1, entry 12).
2. ELISA procedure
96-well polystyrene plates were used. Each antibody was evaluated in the two classic formats of competitive ELISA (the one of antigen or conjugate immobilized with indirect detection and the one of immobilized antibody with direct detection) using homologous test antigens, that is, a test antigen from the same bioconjugate of formula (I) than the one used to obtain the immunogen but in which P = OVA or HRP. After each incubation stage, the plates were washed four times with a wash solution, using a 96-channel ELx405 washer (Biotek Instruments, Winooski, USA). The signal produced by the peroxidase used as a marker was revealed with 100 pL per well of a 2 mg / mL solution of o-phenylenediamine in 25 mM citrate buffer, 62 mM phosphate, pH 5.4, containing 0.012% (v / v) of H2O2. This development was developed for 10 min at room temperature and stopped using 100 pL per well of 2.5 M sulfuric acid. At the end of the tests, the absorbance of each well was read at 492 nm using a reference wavelength of 650 nm in a PowerWave HT microplate reader (Biotek Instruments, Winooski, USA). The sigmoid pattern curves obtained by representing the absorbance versus analyte concentration were adjusted to a

four-parameter logistic equation using the SPSS SigmaPlot software package (Chicago, USA).
The affinity of the antibody (IC50) was estimated as the concentration of free analyte capable of halving the maximum signal (Amax).
2.1. Competitive ELISA assays in immobilized antigen or conjugate format with indirect detection (indirect assay)
The plates were upholstered with 100 pL per well of a test antigen solution which is a bioconjugate of formula (I) where P is OVA, at 0.01 or 0.1 pg / mL in 50 mM carbonate buffer, pH 9.6, by incubation overnight at room temperature. After washing the plates, 50 pL per well of a complete standard analyte curve in PBS was dispensed in each column followed by 50 pL per well of a given antibody diluted in PBST (0.05% Tween 20). The immunochemical reaction was carried out for 1 h at room temperature and then the plates were washed. Next, each well received 100 pL of a 1/2000 dilution of RAM-HRP (rabbit anti-mouse immunoglobulins labeled with peroxidase) in PBST. This reaction was left at room temperature for 1 h. After washing the plates, the retained peroxidase activity was revealed and the absorbance at 492 nm was read as described above.
2.2. Competitive ELISA assays in immobilized antibody format with direct detection (direct assay)
The plates were upholstered with 100 pL per well of an antibody dilution in 50 mM carbonate buffer, pH 9.6, by incubation overnight at room temperature. After washing the plates, 50 pL per well of a complete standard analyte curve in PBS was dispensed in each column followed by 50 pL per well of a specific dilution in enzymatic bioconjugate PBST which is a bioconjugate of formula (I) where P It's HRP
The same reagent distribution was repeated for each plate with a different antibody. The immunochemical reaction was carried out for 1 h at room temperature and then the plates were washed. Finally, the retained peroxidase activity was revealed and the absorbance at 492 nm was read as described.

3. Production of mouse monoclonal antibodies
3.1. Immunization of mice
For immunization, the bioconjugates of formula (I) were used in which P is BSA (immunizing conjugates) obtained in the previous examples. BALB / c mouse females were used, with an age at the beginning of the process between 6 and 8 weeks.
In each dose, 100 pg of bioconjugate per mouse were administered intraperitoneally, the total volume being administered 200 pL. In the first immunization the bioconjugate was supplied in an emulsion prepared with complete Freund's adjuvant (1: 1, v / v). At 3-week intervals, the mice received two additional immunizations, in these cases emulsifying the bioconjugates with incomplete Freund's adjuvant. Four days before each cell fusion, the selected mouse received a final dose of 100 pg of the corresponding bioconjugate diluted in PBS.
3.2. Cellular fusions to obtain hybridomas
The fusions with the immunized mice were carried out basically following previously described methodologies and well established in the state of the art. Immediately after the sacrifice of the mice, the spleen was removed, which was homogenized with the embolus of a sterile syringe. After lysing the red blood cells by osmotic shock with 1 mL of lysis buffer for one minute in the fried, the lymphocytes were washed twice with complete medium (with serum) and filtered to remove the clots formed.
The myeloma line P3-X63-Ag8.653 was cultured the days before fusion in DMEM supplemented medium [2 mM L-alanine-L-glutamine, 1 mM non-essential amino acids, 25 pg / mL gentamicin, fetal bovine serum ( SBF) 10% (v / v)], keeping the cells in exponential growth phase, so that the merger day had a sufficient number of them.
After two washes with serum-free medium, both cell populations joined a lymphocyte: myeloma 4: 1 ratio. Then, the cells were centrifuged, to

immediately after the cell fusion. For this, the chemical fusing agent PEG1500 (1 mL per spleen, 1 min) was used, which partially dissolving the membranes allows the fusion of the cells. Once both populations were fused, the cells were resuspended in supplemented DMEM medium [SBF 15% (v / v)] and seeded in 96-well culture plates (100 pL per well) at a cell density of 150 * 103 lymphocytes per well, and incubated at 37 oC in an atmosphere with 5% CO2 and 95% humidity. 24 h after fusion, 100 pL per well of HAT medium was added for hybridoma selection [DMEM supplemented with 100 pM hypoxanthine, 0.4 pM aminopterin, 16 pM thymidine, and 20% (v / v) SBF] containing HFCS (High Fusion and Cloning Supplement) at 1% (v / v).
3.3. Selection, cloning and conservation of hybridomas
Approximately 10-12 days after cell fusion, the evaluation of the supernatants of the seeded wells was carried out, in order to identify which ones contained antibody secreting hybridomas capable of recognizing anatoxin-both in its conjugated and free form (clones competitors). Previously, the fusion efficiency was determined by visual inspection, defined as the percentage of wells that had at least one clone clearly visible to the microscope.
In order to carry out the identification of competing clones, the culture supernatants were analyzed by means of the differential ELISA technique, which consists in parallel analysis in adjacent wells of each supernatant in the absence of analyte and in the presence of a predetermined concentration of analyte, usually 100 nM. To do this, the plates were upholstered with the homologous conjugate, which is a bioconjugate of formula (I) in which P is OVA, at a concentration of 0.1 pg / mL, and the test was carried out by adding 50 pL of the culture supernatant. The conditions for the indirect ELISA format are detailed in section 2.1.
Subsequently, those wells containing antibody producing hybridomas capable of providing an absorbance signal equal to or greater than 0.5 in the assay in the absence of anatoxin-a and inhibition of the signal equal to or greater than 80% in the assay were selected in the presence of anatoxin-a. Additionally, for all positive wells a second more thorough screening was conducted in a competitive two-dimensional mode in order to select the best hybridomas with greater certainty. For this, the supernatant of each hybridoma was tested at 4 dilutions

(1/8, 1/32, 1/128 and 1/512) on upholstered plates with the bioconjugate homologous at 0.01 and 0.1 pg / ml, and using as an competitor anatoxin-a at 5 and 50 nM test). So,
200 pL of the culture supernatant was diluted in 600 pL of PBST and the following dilutions were made serially from this first. The test was performed by adding 50 pL per well of the corresponding supernatant dilution and 50 pL of the anatoxin-a solution in PBS at the concentration of 100, 10 and 0 nM.
The cells of the finally selected wells were cloned by the limit dilution method, sowing from each well a new 96-well plate to 2 cells per well in HT medium, of the same composition as the HAT but without aminopterin, and containing HFCS at 1% (v / v).
Generally, 7-10 days after the first cloning, wells containing a single clone were identified by visual inspection, the culture supernatant being reassessed in the same manner as previously described for fusion supernatants. This process was carried out as many times as necessary (at least two) to ensure the monoclonality of the selected hybridomas, as well as their stability. Finally, the selected cell lines were expanded, progressively cultivating the hybridoma in larger containers. Once the clone was grown, the cells were frozen in liquid nitrogen at a concentration of 107 cells per vial (2-4 vials for each hybridoma) in a solution of SBF with 10% DMSO (v / v) as a cryoprotective agent. The vials were kept at -80 oC inside a polystyrene box for 24 h before being transferred to the liquid nitrogen container.
3.4. Production and purification of monoclonal antibodies
In the last phase of the hybridoma cell expansion, these were progressively divided into culture plates until a final volume between 100 and 200 mL of supernatant was reached. The cells were allowed to grow until the confluence was reached, and once the nutrients from the culture medium were exhausted, the contents of the plates were collected. The collected volume was centrifuged to remove cell debris and the supernatant was precipitated by adding a volume of a saturated solution of ammonium sulfate, keeping at 4 ° C until purification.

The purification of the antibodies was performed by affinity chromatography with protelna G columns following the manufacturer's instructions. For this purpose, the precipitated antibody was centrifuged for 20 min at 5000 rpm (4000 * g) and the supernatant was discarded. The precipitate containing the antibodies was redissolved with 20 mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.4 and filtered with nitrocellulose membranes (pore diameter 0.45 pm) to remove suspended particles. Elution of the antibody from the column was performed with 100 mM sodium citrate buffer, pH 2.5. Fractions containing the antibody were identified by UV spectrophotometry and collected. The solution was neutralized by adding 1M Tris-HCl, pH 9.5. Finally, the concentration of the purified antibody [A280 (1 mg / mL igG) = 1.4] was determined by UV spectrophotometry and a working solution was prepared at a concentration of 500 pg / mL in PBS with 1% BSA (p / v) and 0.01% thimerosal (w / v), which was stored at 4 oC. The remaining solution was precipitated with saturated ammonium sulfate [1: 1, (v / v)], which guarantees its stability at 4 ° C for years.
4. Results
4.1. Generation of hybridomas producing monoclonal antibodies against anatoxin-a
From mice immunized with bioconjugates of formula (I) are those that P is BSA, cell fusions aimed at hybridoma generation were carried out. The bioconjugates of formula (I) in which T is R-I or R-III were not able to induce the generation of monoclonal antibody secreting hybridomas with a high affinity towards anatoxin-a. On the contrary, from the bioconjugate of formula (I) in which T is R-II, it was possible to obtain 5 monoclonal antibody producing cell lines with high affinity towards anatoxin-a. Monoclonal antibodies obtained from said hybridomas have been named for the purposes of the present invention and the examples here included: mAb # 38, mAb # 44, mAb # 325, mAb # 417 and mAb # 39. This result shows that the bioconjugate of formula (I) most suitable for obtaining antibodies against anatoxin-a is not an obvious and obvious issue. The results also demonstrate the suitability of a bioconjugate of formula (I) in which T is R-II to induce the obtaining of antibodies capable of recognizing anatoxin-a.
4.2. Determination of antibody affinity
Once affinity purified the 5 monoclonal antibodies obtained (see 4.1, mAb # 38, mAb # 44, mAb # 325, mAb # 417 and mAb # 39) antibodies, their affinity towards anatoxin-a was determined by competitive homologous ELISA. In indirect format 5 (Fig. 6) the antibodies showed IC50 values for anatoxin-a between 3.15 nM and 11.00 nM. In the direct format (Fig. 7) the antibodies showed IC50 values for anatoxin-a between 2.18 nM and 9.49 nM.
4.3. Determination of antibody specificity
10 Anatoxin-a exists chemically in 2 enantiomeric forms. Natural cyanotoxin is exclusively dextrogira (+), while the levogira (-) form can be obtained by organic synthesis. To verify the extent to which the monoclonal antibodies obtained were really specific, they were tested in the indirect homologous ELISA format against the two enantiomers of the anatoxin-a. As can be seen in Fig. 8, all antibodies recognized (+) - anatoxin-a with an affinity at least 100 times higher than that shown for their enantiomer, (-) - anatoxin-a. This assay reliably demonstrates the enormous specificity and discriminatory ability of the monoclonal antibodies described in this invention, and their great ability therefore to determine the natural enantiomer of anatoxin-a in samples, even in the presence of other possible contaminating compounds.
