In this rapid test,affinity purified polyclonal antibodies from Guinea pigs which were immunized with sucking-mouse adapted FMD virus (A/AV88(L) strain) were conjugated to colloidal gold beads and used as the capture antibody,and affinity purified polyclonal antibodies from rabbits which were immunized with cell-culture adapted FMD virus (A/CHA/09 strain) were used as detector antibody. On the nitrocellulose membrane of the immunochromatographic strip,the capture antibody was laid on a sample pad,the detector antibody was printed at the test line(T) and goat anti-guinea pigs IgG antibodies were immobilized to the control line(C). The lower detection limit of the test for a FMDV 146S antigen is 11.7ng/ml as determined in serial tests after the strip device was assembled and the assay condition optimization. No cross reactions were found with FMDV serotype C,Swine vesicular disease (SVD),Vesicular stomatiti svirus (VSV) and vesicular exanthema of swine virus (VES) viral antigens with this rapid test. Clinically,the diagnostic sensitivity of this test for FMDV serotypes A was 88.7% which is as same as an indirect-sandwich ELISA. The specificity of this strip test was 98.2% and is comparable to the 98.7% obtained with indirect-sandwich ELISA. This rapid strip test is simple,easy and fast for clinical testing on field sites; no special instruments and skills are required,and the result can be obtained within 15 min. To our knowledge,this is the first rapid immunochromatogarpic assay for serotype A of FMDV.展开更多

The receptor protein, the carboxy-terminal domain of β-lactam sensor-transducer mutant from Bacillus.licheniformis, served as the recognition element. Colloidal gold(CG)-labelled receptor antibody-receptor ternary complex was applied as a signal transducer probe. The presence ofβ-lactams was identified through a color change in the test zone, where the reaction between the complex of CG/antireceptor antibody/receptor and β-lactam antigen on the test line could be inhibited by β-lactam residues in the sample,thus leading to a reduction in color signal. Based on the indirect labeling of the receptor with an antibody as a linker, the ability to detect 33 β-lactams was below or near the corresponding maximum residue limit. The proposed lateral flow immunoassay biosensor appears to be an excellent field-based screening tool for the qualitative screening of β-lactams in milk.展开更多
