Abstract
Amantadine (AMD), a banned antiviral veterinary drug, is still being abused. This study developed a novel enzyme linked immunosorbent assay for the colorimetric detection of AMD involving DNA hybridization reaction and non–crosslinking gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) aggregation. Accordingly, the Primer 1–AuNPs–anti–AMD monoclonal antibody (mAb) could be captured by AMD artificial antigen on ELISA wells. Primer 2, which was complementary paired to Primer 1, was eventually added into the ELISA wells. After the hybridization reaction, the free Primer 2 in the supernatant was mixed with AuNPs and NaCl and induced a rapid color change of AuNPs. The lack of AMD in the sample resulted in capturing a substantial Primer 1–AuNPs–mAb complex and limited free Primer 2 in the supernatant. After adding NaCl, the color of AuNPs turned blue with limited Primer 2. This simple and visualized novel method had good sensitivity (0.033 μM) and exhibited a potential application for AMD screening on site.
