In this investigation, we followed the methods of chemical binding to proteins from our previous publication, in which we ascertained elevated levels of antibodies against xenobiotics in a subgroup of healthy subjects [19 (link)]. In that study, we identified antibodies to the same chemical haptens in about 20% of tested individuals. For this study, we used the same binding methods.
We purchased the HSA, BSA, hemoglobin, formaldehyde, tolylene-2.4-diisocyanate, trimellitic anhydride, p-amino benzoic acid, bisphenol-A (BPA), tetrabromobisphenol-A (TBBPA), isopropyl benzoic acid, cyanoethyl benzoic acid, propyl 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, permethrin, mercury chloride, nickel sulfate, cobalt acetate, cadmium chloride, lead acetate, and arsenic oxide from Sigma Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA).
