Abstract:
In this study, a comparative theoretical and experimental analysis of two immuno-chromatographic serodiagnostics schemes, which differ in the immobilization of immunoreagents and the order of the formation of immune complexes, is performed. Based on the theoretical models, the assays are characterized to determine which scheme has a higher quantity of the detected complex and thus ensures the sensitivity of the analysis. The results show that for the effective detection of low-affinity antibodies, the scheme involving the immobilization of the antigen on gold nanoparticles and the antibody-binding protein on the test strip was more sensitive than the predominantly used scheme, which inverts the immunoreagents' locations. The theoretical predictions were confirmed by the experimental testing of sera collected from tuberculosis patients.
