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

ABSTRACT

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.
