Abstract

Up-converting phosphor technology (UPT)-based lateral-flow immunoassay has been developed for quantitative detection ofYersinia pestis rapidly and specifically. In this assay, 400 nm up-converting phosphor particles were used as the reporter. A sandwich immumoassay was employed by using a polyclonal antibody against F1 antigen ofY. pestis immobilized on the nitrocellulose membrane and the same antibody conjugated to the UPT particles. The signal detection of the strips was performed by the UPT-based biosensor that could provide a 980 nm IR laser to excite the phosphor particles, then collect the visible luminescence emitted by the UPT particles and finally convert it to the voltage as a signal.VT andVC stand for the multiplied voltage units for the test and the control line, respectively, and the ratioVT/VC is directly proportional to the number ofY. pestis in a sample. We observed a good linearity between the ratio and log CFU/ml ofY. pestis above the detection limit, which was approximately 104 CFU/ml. The precision of the intra- and inter-assay was below 15% (coefficient of variation, CV). Cross-reactivity with related Gram-negative enteric bacteria was not found. The UPT-LF immunoassay system presented here takes less than 30 min to perform from the sample treatment to the data analysis. The current paper includes only preliminary data concerning the biomedical aspects of the assay, but is more concentrated on the technical details of establishing a rapid manual assay using a state-of-the-art label chemistry.

Schematic description of the UPT-based lateral-flow test strip. The components of the strip include a sample pad (1), a conjugate pad (2), a nitrocellulose membrane (3), an absorbent pad (4), and a laminating card (5). During the manufacture, a test line (6), a control line (7), and an ending index line (8) are disposed on the strip and other components are pasted on the laminating card with proper overlapping.
