Abstract
In this work, a micro-plate chemiluminescence enzyme immunoassay by antibody-coated for the determination of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in agricultural products has been established. Aflatoxin B1 antibody (AFB1-Ab) was adsorbed physically on polystyrene micro-plate hole as solid phase antibody, which took place immunity-reaction between antigen and antibody with AFB1 standard solution or samples by direct competition. Luminol–hydrogen peroxide chemiluminescence system catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase (HRP) with p-iodophenol enhancement was used as signal detecting system. The effects of several factors, including composition and pH of coating solution, dilution ratio and amount of antibody and enzyme labeled antigen, time of antibody-coating, incubation and chemiluminescence reaction, and other relevant variables upon the immunoasaay were studied and optimized. The linear range of proposed method for AFB1 was 0.05–10.0 ng g −1 with a correlative coefficient of −0.9997. The sensitivity of the proposed method was 0.01 ng g −1. The RSDs of intra- and inter-assay were less than 12.2% and 10.0%, respectively. This method has been successfully applied to the evaluation of AFB1 in agricultural products with recoveries of 79.8%, 101.9% and 115.4% for low, middle and high concentration samples, respectively. It shows a good correlation with the commercial available ELISA kit for AFB1 with correlative coefficient of 0.9098 indicating that the established CLEIA method can be used to determine AFB1 in real samples.
