In this study, a murine monoclonal antibody (mAb) of 6D2-G10 against bacitracin zinc (BAC) was produced and applied to an immunochromatographic strip (ICS) for the initial detection of BAC in milk. The ICS with a cut-off value of 25 ng/mL could be perceived by the naked eye within 10 min. With the assist of the strip reader, the limit of detection (LOD) was measured as 0.82 ng/mL, the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC) was recorded as 3.16 ng/mL, and the linear detection range was from 0.97 to 10.30 ng/mL. The recoveries ranged from 87.7% to 96.0% with the highest coefficient of variation (CV) of 9.1% in the intra-assay and from 84.3% to 90.2% with the highest CV of 10.7% in the inter-assay. In short, the established ICS provided a serviceable analytical tool for qualitatively and quantitatively monitoring BAC in milk.

Cyvirus cyprinidallo 2 (CyHV-2) is the pathogen of herpesviral hematopoietic necrosis (HVHN) that mainly infects goldfish Carassius auratus and crucian carp C. carassius and is characterized by high infectivity and pathogenicity. The availability of rapid and convenient detection methods is essential for early detection of CyHV-2.

In this study, we developed a colloidal gold immunochromatographic strip (CGIS) method that used the matrix-matched calibration curves of contamination ratio models to quantitatively determine the total aflatoxin in five herbal medicines. This approach addresses issues related to false results and poor accuracy associated with conventional methods. The CGIS was analyzed using a Vertu touch reader, and the matrix-matched calibration was established based on the absorbance ratios of the T and C lines, as well as the logarithmic values of the total aflatoxin concentrations.

The livestock industry uses ofloxacin, an antibiotic, to prevent several animal diseases; however, the overdose of ofloxacin used in animal farming treatments may appear in food products and cause some adverse human health effects. Hence, there is an immediate need to develop a method suitable for on site large-scale detection of ofloxacin residues in animal-derived foods. This study aimed to prepare a monoclonal antibody with high sensitivity and affinity for ofloxacin by re-synthesizing the ofloxacin hapten and synthesizing the corresponding complete antigen.

Article Synopsis
  • A new test called Time-resolved fluorescence immunochromatographic test strips (TRFIS) has been created for the fast detection of a specific type of exosome related to liver cancer, targeting a protein called glypican-3 (GPC3).
  • The test allows for direct detection of these exosomes in plasma without needing complex isolation methods, completing the entire process in just 15 minutes.
  • Clinical testing showed that TRFIS can effectively differentiate HCC patients from healthy individuals with high sensitivity and specificity, presenting a promising tool for early liver cancer screening.

Gatifloxacin (GAT), an antibiotic belonging to the fluoroquinolone (FQ) class, is a toxicant that may contaminate food products. In this study, a method of ultrasensitive immunochromatographic detection of GAT was developed for the first time. An indirect format of the lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) was performed.
