Abstract
- To overcome limitations with respect to the low sensitivity of rapid immunoassay methods due to dilution of the extract in extraction solution, ultra-sensitive antibodies are needed. The linker-tethering site between the target and carrier protein, the length of the spacer arm, and the atomic charge of the linker-tethering site between the target and spacer arm in haptens design play a pivotal role in the preparation of ultra-sensitive antibodies. In this study, carbendazim (CBZ), a systemic broad-spectrum fungicidal pesticide, was used as model compound. 2-Aminobenzimidazole was chosen as the common skeletal structure and reacted with different groups, such as alkanes and urine groups, to form haptens H1 (previously reported), H2 (novel), and H3 (novel), respectively. Subsequently, eight monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were generated using these three haptens, which exhibited notable variation in sensitivity. The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC 50) value of mAb 4B11 based on hapten H3 against CBZ was 0.04 ng/mL, which was seven times better than that of mAb 5B10 (IC 50 value of 0.28 ng/mL) prepared using hapten H2 and 129 times better than that of mAb 6D5 (IC 50 value of 5.15 ng/mL) prepared using hapten H1. Finally, the optimal antigen–antibody combination was employed to establish a sensitive colloidal gold lateral flow immunoassay (CG-LFA) for CBZ detection in vegetables and fruits with convenient sample pretreatment. The developed CG-LFA shows promising practical utility and prospects for application due to its low limit of detection (0.10–0.18 ng/mL) and high recovery ratios (76.0%–96.1%) in six different samples. [Display omitted] • A novel hapten design strategy focuses on the link site and spacer arm length of the target compound. • An ultra-sensitive monoclonal antibody (mAb) 4B11 against carbendazim was prepared. • A sensitive colloidal gold lateral flow immunoassay in fruits and vegetables was developed.
