A sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), using polyclonal antibody, was developed and compared with the commercial kit for detecting and estimating of BSA content in Measles-Mump-Rubella (MMR) vaccine samples in detection limit of nanogram level. The test depends on the capturing and detecting of BSA antigen by the polyclonal antibody. Initially, a detection range of 0-64 ng/ml was established, could be used for estimation of BSA content according to WHO requirement (50 ng/ml) in MMR vaccines. Comparative analysis of the test results for 85 MMR vaccine samples obtained with the commercial kit gave a sensitivity of 58.8% and a specificity of 97%. A high correlation (r = 0.94) was observed between BSA sandwich ELISA and commercial kit for BSA content in MMR samples. However, variations in values also were observed for the two assays. These variations may have been due to difference of upper limit of detection range of BSA content in commercial kit (32 ng/ml) and new sandwich ELISA (64 ng/ml) as well as the use of a different polyclonal antibody. In concerning the cutoff value for the WHO requirement and employment of standard solution of 64 ng/ml in developing assay, it would be adequate to use this test for assessing BSA content in viral vaccines same as MMR vaccines.
