Abstract
A novel bifunctional antibody (BfAb) that could recognize methyl parathion and imidacloprid simultaneously was prepared by a hybrid hybridomas technique. Using the BfAb as the sole recognition reagent, a multiplexed immunochromatographic test strip based on a time-resolved chemiluminescence (CL) strategy was developed for quantitative detection of pesticide residues. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were used as the CL probes to label the haptens of methyl parathion and imidacloprid, respectively. After the labeled haptens competed with methyl parathion and imidacloprid to bind with the BfAb immobilized on the test strip, the two CL reactions catalyzed by the enzymes were triggered simultaneously by coreactants injection. Due to the distinct CL kinetics characteristics of HRP and ALP, the signals for methyl parathion and imidacloprid detections were collected at 2.5s and 300s, respectively. The linear ranges for methyl parathion and imidacloprid were both 0.1–250ngmL−1, with detection limits of 0.058ngmL−1 (S/N=3). The whole assay process could be accomplished within 22min. The detection results for spiked traditional Chinese medicine samples demonstrated its application potential. The proposed method provided a low-cost, facile and rapid tool for multiplexed screening of pesticide residues using single antibody.
