Development of a monoclonal antibody assay and immunochromatographic test strip for the detection of amikacin residues in milk and eggs

摘要

An amikacin-sensitive monoclonal antibody (MAb) assay and immunochromatographic test strip were developed and applied for the detection of amikacin residues in bovine milk and chicken eggs. The immunoassay was specific to amikacin and showed no cross-reactivity with other aminoglycosides. The half maximum inhibitory concentration (IC50) of the assay was 0.65?ng/mL and the results were obtained within 90?min. Recoveries from spiked food matrices were within the range of 73.55–84.61% for bovine milk and 73.70–105.75% for whole egg. The strip test results were obtained within 10?min and showed a visual detection limit of 5.0?ng/mL for both food matrices. These results show that the MAb immunoassay and strip test developed in this study are very specific to amikacin and sufficiently sensitive for detection and routine monitoring of amikacin residues in food.
