| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The immunological technique, Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) was modified upon several series of lab testsused to identify proteinaceous materials (i.e. animal glue, fish glue, egg and milk casein) and plant gums in binding media and adhesives on used in works of art. The detection limit of this assay is extremely low at about 0.1 ng - 50 ng/100μL, for the proteinaceous materials and plant gums. This sensitivity is the biggest advantage of method which allows us to use minimal amount of sample from the works of art. Many samples from naturally aged easel replica paintings were tested using ELISA, and actualfurther, wall painting samples from Bamiyan Buddhist caves (from the 5th century to the late 8th century) were analyzed, which successfully revealed the presence of animal glue (and/or fish glue), egg white, milk casein and plant gums.
