“…Using lanthanide fluorescent chelates as fluorescence labels, TRFIA is commonly utilised in environmental contaminant monitoring, agricultural and food chemistry, laboratory testing, and forensic science (Zhang et al ., ; Sheng et al ., ; Zhang et al ., ; Xu et al ., ), but its use in crude drug analysis has not been described. We recently established a TRFIA system for the determination of saikosaponin a (Chao et al ., ), and compared with the conventional ELISA, TRFIA showed a 3–15 folds higher sensitivity with a reduced assay time by at least 1 h (Zhu et al ., ). In this study, we developed a TRFIA system using the anti‐Tax MAb 3A3 to provide another reliable, sensitive quantitative analytical method for Tax detection.…”
