Abstract:
Amantadine (AMD) is an antiviral drug that is prohibited for use in livestock and poultry. In this study, carboxyl-modified magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were synthesized using the solvothermal method in one step with harmless and inexpensive regents, and they were used to label monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) of AMD in microwells with electrostatic adsorption. Then, a magnetic immunochromatography assay (MICA) method was successfully established. Under optimal conditions, the MICA showed a good performance, with a linear range of 0.2~10.0 µg/L. The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.068 µg/L with the instrument, and the visual LOD (vLOD) was 0.5 µg/L. There was no cross-reaction with rimantadine and ribavirin. The vLOD in real samples was 1.0 µg/kg. The developed MICA has the advantages of convenience, speed, and sensitivity, which make it suitable for the on-site rapid detection of AMD residues in chicken tissues and eggs.
