Development of Immunoassays for Detecting Clothianidin Residue in Agricultural Products

Abstract

Two enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) based on polyclonal antibodies (PcAbs) for clothianidin are described: colorimetric detection format (ELISA) and pattern of chemiluminescent assay (CLEIA). Clothianidin hapten was synthesized and conjugated to bovine serum albumin (BSA) and ovalbumin (OVA) to produce immunogen and coating antigen. Anticlothianidin PcAbs were obtained from immunized New Zealand white rabbits. Under optimal conditions, the half-maximal inhibition concentration (IC₅₀) and the limit of detection (LOD, IC₂₀) of clothianidin were 0.046 and 0.0028 mg/L for the ELISA and 0.015 and 0.0014 mg/L for the CLEIA, respectively. There were no obvious cross-reactivities of the antibodies with its analogues except for dinotefuran. Recoveries of 76.4-116.4% for the immunoassays were achieved from spiked samples. The results of immunoassays for the spiked and authentic samples were largely consistent with gas chromatography. Therefore, the proposed immunoassays would be convenient and satisfactory analytical methods for the monitoring of clothianidin in agricultural products.

“…[17][18][19] The chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay (CLEIA) also has gained attention in the research of clinical diagnosis and analytical test because of its higher sensitivity and wider dynamic range of linearity compared with colorimetric detection. 20 These advantages demonstrate CLEIA is suitable for quantitative detection of analyte with high sensitivity.…”

“…The results of the immunoassay were usually validated with the gold standard technique, i.e., a chromatographic technique [34,40,48]. [40,[49][50][51]. The developed ic-ELISA is very useful for analyzing samples in a high number: it is a simple process, using inexpensive equipment, and done in a rapid manner.…”

“…The procedures of ELISA were followed according to the classic method. 21 Aer the coating and blocking steps, either standard serial concentrations or samples of AFB 1 in PBS containing methanol (50 mL per well) were added, followed by addition of optimal McAb dilution (50 mL per well, in PBS) for 1 h at 37 C. Aer further washing, GAM-HRP dilution (100 mL per well, in PBS) was dispensed into each well and incubated for 1 h at 37 C. Then, the plates were washed again. TMB solution (100 mL per well) was added to the plates and incubated for 15 min at 37 C. Then, the reaction was stopped with 2 mol L À1 sulfuric acid (50 mL per well), and the absorbance was measured at 450 nm.…”
