Abstract

In this study, we produced a sensitive and specific monoclonal antibody (mAb) against diclazuril based on a new hapten. The mAb, which belongs to the IgG2 subclass, had a 50%-inhibitory concentration of 0.36 ng/mL. A cross reactivity test revealed that the mAb had good specificity for diclazuril. A gold nanoparticle-based lateral-flow strip was assembled for the rapid screening of diclazuril in raw chicken breast and thigh samples. The strip assay had a visual limit of detection (LOD) of 2 μg/kg and a cut-off value of 20 μg/kg for diclazuril in chicken samples when evaluated with the naked eye. With the aid of a strip scan reader, the proposed assay obtained a quantitative measurement for diclazuril with an LOD of 1.08 μg/kg. Therefore, this gold nanoparticle-based lateral-flow strip assay represents a potentially useful tool for on-site detection and rapid initial screening of diclazuril in chicken samples.
