Rapid Detection of Staphylococcal Enterotoxin-B by Lateral Flow Assay.

Rapid Detection of Staphylococcal Enterotoxin-B by Lateral Flow Assay. Monoclon Antib Immunodiagn Immunother. 2019 Oct;38(5):209-212 Authors: Hnasko R, Lin AV, McGarvey JA Abstract A cohort of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were generated against Staphylococcal enterotoxin-B (SEB) and selected by double sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for solution capture of the toxin. Clonal hybridoma cell lines were established and a pair of anti-SEB mAbs selected for the development of a sandwich ELISA. Immobilized 3D6 mAb (IgG1, kappa) when paired with 4C9 mAb (IgG1, kappa) conjugated to horseradish peroxidase generates a typical dose-response curve with an EC50 of 24.8 ng/mL for purified SEB using chemiluminescent detection. These mAbs bind SEB by Western blot and ELISA binding to classical enterotoxin serotypes show that the 3D6 mAb binds both SEB and the SEC1 serotypes, whereas 4C9 binds only SEB. These mAbs effectively port onto lateral flow test strips with a visual detection sensitivity for SEB of 5 ng/mL in <10 minutes using a 4C9 conjugated to a 40 nm gold reporter.
