Abstract:
Three-metal-core-shell nanoparticles (Au@Pt@PdNPs) providing excellent peroxidase-like activity were applied in lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA), designated as Au@Pt@Pd-LFIA, for detecting the nucleocapsid protein (NP) of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). An Au@Pt@Pd-LFIA was developed for quantitatively testing of SARS-CoV-2 NP with a range 0.12-31.25 ng/mL. The limit of detection (LOD) of Au@Pt@Pd-LFIA strip was 0.06 ng/mL, which was 16-fold or eightfold more sensitive than that of the gold lateral flow immunoassay (Au-LFIA) and the gold flower flow immunoassay (AF-LFIA) strips, respectively. For detection of clinical samples from nasal swabs using test strips, Au@Pt@Pd-LFIA had 84.09% sensitivity, 100% specificity, and 92.55% accuracy. In terms of detection time, the testing of Au@Pt@Pd-LFIA strip was 16 min similar to Au-LFIA (15 min) and AF-LFIA (10 min), but much shorter than ELISA (2 h). In conclusion, Au@Pt@Pd-LFIA is a sensitive, rapid, and simple test for quantitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 NP in nasal swab samples.
