Abstract:
Abstract：Objective To develop a colloidal gold immunochromatographic strip ⁃ based method for the rapid detection of Zika virus（ZIKV）NS1 antigen. Methods The gold nanoparticles modified with the anti⁃ZIKV NS1 monoclonal antibody as the detection probe were coated on the glass ⁃fiber pad. The anti ⁃ZIKV NS1 monoclonal antibody and the goat anti ⁃mouse polyclonal antibody were immobilized on a nitrocellulose membrane as the test line and the control line，respectively. In order to achieve critical results，the ratio of the optical density （OD）of the test line to that of the control line was compared. Serial diluted ZIKV NS1 standard antigen was applied to evaluate sensitivity of the immunoassay. The culture supernatant and serum samples for arboviruses（ZIKV，Dengue virus, Japanese encephalitis virus and Chikungunya virus） were utilized to demonstrate the specificity of the method. Results The detection result could read by naked eyes within 20 minutes. The visual cut ⁃off level for the test strip was achieved at 100 ng/mL of the Zika virus NS1 standard antigen. No cross⁃reactions with Dengue virus，Japanese encephalitis virus and Chikungunya virus were observed. The strip could remain good stability within 36 weeks whether stored in 4 ℃ or room temperature（22-25 ℃）. Conclusion Apart from stability， the method was convenient，rapid and specific for ZIKV NS1 antigen，which showed a promising potential in the point of care test and the screening test.
