A leteral-flow immunochromatographic assay was developed for the detection of papaverine (PAPA) in pure ginger powder samples. We produced a sensitive monoclonal antibody againsts PAPA (anti-PAPA mAb) by immunizing BALB/c mice with a wellcharacterized PAPA-keyhole limpet hemocyanin conjugate, produced in our laboratory. The coating antigen (PAPAovalbumin) and goat anti-mouse IgG antibody were used as the capture reagent in the control line of the test strip. Under optimized conditions, the cut-off limits of the test strip was 1 ng/mL in 0.01 M PBS (pH 7.4) and 5 ng/mL in pure ginger powder. The results were obtained within 5 min. The results revealed that the developed method is a sensitive, rapid, and simple tool for the detection of PAPA in pure ginger powder.
A rapid, simple, sensitive immunochromatographic strip test was developed to detect penbutolol (PB) in pig urine based on a sensitive and specific monoclonal antibody produced in our laboratory. The antigen (PB-ovalbumin) and a goat anti-mouse IgG antibody were drawn onto a nitrocellulose membrane as the test line and control line, respectively. Under optimised conditions, the semi-quantitative test strip detected PB at concentrations of 2.5 ng/mL in 0.01 M PBS (pH 7.4) and 0.5 ng/mL in pig urine. All results were obtained within 5 min. Our data indicate that this immunochromatographic assay can be used for the sensitive, rapid, and specific on-site screening of PB.
Hyoscyamine (HSM) which act as antagonists of acetylcholine muscarinic receptor and can induce a variety of distinct toxic syndromes in mammals (anti-cholinergic poisoning) which hazardous in human health. Therefore, it...
The misuse of β-agonists constitutes a potential risk to public health and β-agonists has been forbidden in many countries. In this study, we describe an immunochromatographic test strip method for the rapid, sensitive, and inexpensive detection of mabuterol (MAB) and mapenterol (MAP) by cross-reactivity in pig urine. For the immunochromatographic test, the coating antigen which was obtained by conjugating the salbutamol to bovine serum albumin and a goat anti-mouse IgG antibody were drawn onto a nitrocellulose membrane as the control line and test line. The test was developed with a sensitive monoclonal antibody specific for MAB, which was generated by immunizing BALB/c mice with a well-characterized MAB-keyhole limpet haemocyanin conjugate, produced in our laboratory. Under optimized conditions, the cutoff limits of the semi-quantitative test strip for MBA and MPA were as low as 10 ng/mL in both 0.01 M PBS (pH 7.4) and pig urine. All the results were obtained within 5 min. Our data indicate that the immunochromatographic assay allows provide sensitive, rapid, and specific on-site screening for MAB and MAP.
In developing countries, pesticides such as triazophos (TZP) are widely used in agriculture. However, the misuse TZP poses a threat to human health and the environment due to its high chemical and photochemical stability. In this study, we developed a lateral flow assay to determine TZP in cucumber. We produced anti-TZP monoclonal antibody with half inhibitory concentration of 2.013 ng/mL according to ELISA. Under optimum conditions, the lateral flow assay had TZP cutoff values of 100 ng/mL in 0.01 M PBS and 250 ng/mL in cucumber, and the results could be visualised with the naked eye in 5 min. our findings revealed that lateral flow assay is a rapid and sensitive method for detect TZP in cucumber.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
