Anti chlortetracycline(CTC)polyclonal antibodies for effective residue detection were produced and studied. Two kinds of CTC immunogens were prepared via glutaraldehyde and mixed acid anhydride methods. New Zealand rabbits were immunized with these immunogens to produce the polyclonal antibodies, which were identified by indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results indicate that the serum titers of the two kinds of antibodies all reached 3.2 × 10^5 , however, the antibody produced by the immunogen prepared via glutaraldehyde...
