Two types of lateral flow immunochromatographic test strips (LFITS) using gold nanoparticles and fluorescent CdTe quantum dots (QDs) as signal labels, respectively, were developed for Shiga toxin type II (STX2) assays.

A lateral flow (LF) device combined with quantum dots (QDs) technology was developed for rapid detection of a specific mycobacterial flavoprotein reductase (<em>fprA</em>). In order to develop the LF assay based on a double-antibody sandwich format, two monoclonal antibodies recognizing different epitopes located in separated <em>fprA</em> domains were identified. The first monoclonal antibody was immobilized onto the detection zone of a porous nitrocellulose membrane, whereas another monoclonal antibody was conjugated to QDs nanoparticles as a detection system. Using these monoclonal antibodies we recorded a good fluorescence signal, the intensity of which was directly proportional to the concentration of <em>fprA</em> protein. The use of antibodies conjugated with fluorescent semiconductor QDs via biotin-streptavidin bridge, allowed the detection of <em>fprA</em> protein at concentrations as low as 12.5 pg/μL in less than 10 min. The reported technology could be useful in the diagnostic investigation of <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> and other human pathogens in clinical specimens.

Haemonchosis remains a significant problem in small ruminants. In this study, the assay of recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) combined with the lateral flow strip (LFS-RPA) was established for the rapid detection of <i>Haemonchus contortus</i> in goat feces. The assay used primers and a probe targeting a specific sequence in the ITS-2 gene. We compared the performance of the LFS-RPA assay to a PCR assay. The LFS-RPA had a detection limit of 10 fg DNA, which was 10 times less compared to the lowest detection limit obtained by PCR. Out of 24 goat fecal samples, LFS-RPA assay detected <i>H. contortus</i> DNA with 95.8% sensitivity, compared to PCR, 79.1% sensitivity. LFS-RPA assay did not detect DNA from other related helminth species and demonstrated an adequate tolerance to inhibitors present in the goat feces. Taken together, our results suggest that LFS-RPA assay had a high diagnostic accuracy for the rapid detection of <i>H. contortus</i> and merits further evaluation.
