A sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to detect staphylococcal enterotoxin B was developed using rat monoclonal antibodies as capture antibodies and as a biotinylated conjugate. This test was sensitive, less than 1 ng/ml of enterotoxin B was detected and interference by protein A was prevented by the use of rat monoclonal antibodies of the IgG2a isotype which were insensitive to protein A even at concentrations greater than 1000 ng/ml.
