Abstract:

Anti-Escherichia coli O157:H7 monoclonal antibody was labeled with colloidal gold to prepare a strip for the detection of E. coli O157: H7. Anti-E. coli O157:H7 polyclonal antibody and donkey anti-mouse IgG were dispensed on the nitrocellulose membrane as the test line and control line, respectively. The optimal conjugation was performed using 16.8μg/mL antibody at the condition of pH 8.0 and blocked with PEG20000. However, the optimal pH range for the detection was 7.0-7.5. Cross-reaction test was conducted by 26 bacteria strains. Results showed no obvious cross-reaction were observed except for the slight cross-reaction from Salmonella typhimurium ATCC13311 and Staphylococcus aureus CMCC26003. Meanwhile, the sensitivity of the developed strip was up to 104 CFU/mL. Moreover, this kind of developed strip was characteristics of simple operation, rapid detection, high sensitivity and specificity.
