Rapid and quantitative detection of abrin using colloid gold immunochromatographic assay / 军事医学科学院院刊

Objective:To develop a rapid and quantitative detection method for abrin using colloid gold immunochromatographic assay. Methods:The rapid detection method was established with double-antibody sandwich assay. Quantification was realized by constructing a standard curve. The specificity and sensitivity of the method were tested, and its feasibility was evaluated by various abrin-added food samples. Results and Conclusion:This established method could accomplish qualitative and semi-quantitative detection in 15 minutes; the sensitivity was up to 30 ng/ml with a linear range from 30 ng/ml to 600 ng/ml. The recovery rate was 80%-110%, and the variation coefficient was less than 15%.The colloidal gold immunochromatographic assay is rapid, specific, sensitive,accurate and suitable for field detection.

Preparation of colloid gold kit for one-step chromatography immunoassay to monitor the dopes of morphine and met-amphetamine simultaneously / 中国免疫学杂志

Objective:To prepare a colloid gold kit for the qualitative detection of the dopes met-amphetamine and morphine by one-step chromatography immunoassay in human samples based on the principle of the highly specific immunochemical reactions between the antigens and their antibodies which were used for the analysis of specific compounds in human urine samples at ideal cut-off concentrations.Methods:The monoclonal antibodies(McAb) of either mouse anti-morphine or mouse met-amphetamine were prepared by hybridomas and the limiting dilution respectively. The titers of McAb were tested by ELISA.The kit was assembled and the specificity,sensitivity,and stability were investigated.In addition,these characters were compared with those of issued Pan Probe single test strip.Results:①The titer of the first McAb against morphine was 1∶3.2?103, as for another, 1∶1.6?103. ②The colloid gold kit was found with following cut-off for the dope concentrations,morphine at 300 ng/ml and met-amphetamine at 1 000 ng/ml. ③The colloid gold kit showed fine specificity without cross-reaction with routine medicines for cold treatment or with the solf-drinks of cokocola or with tobacco for the individuals who did not take the dopes the 7 days.④The colloid gold kit was even more sensitive than the issued strip,because urine sample of the junkies were still positive 4-5 days post-intake.Conclusion:The colloid gold kit for indentifying the drug-users is a rapid,specific, sensitive immunoassay suitable for the simultaneous, qualitative detection of drug abuse.
