title: Development of oligonucleotide lateral-flow immunoassay for multi-parameter detection.
abstract: We have developed a highly sensitive and rapid oligonucleotide lateral-flow immunoassay (OLFIA), using a colloidal gold as an indicator, for the simultaneous detection of antigens and/or antibodies in specimen. This system can detect more than two types of antigens and/or antibodies in a single assay device at the same time. The device is basically composed of colloidal gold-labeled antibodies and oligonucleotide-labeled antibodies fixed in a conjugate pad, and the complementary oligonucleotide-labeled proteins are immobilized on a nitrocellulose membrane. If the target antigen is present in a specimen, the colloidal gold-labeled antibody and oligonucleotide-labeled antibody will make a complex with the antigen. Subsequently, the formed complex migrates to the place where complementary oligonucleotide is immobilized and is bound to the solid phase via the DNA-DNA interaction. As a result, more than two types of reactions can be detected on a single assay device by the combination of colloidal gold-labeled antibodies, different oligonucleotide-labeled antibodies and complementary oligonucleotide-labeled proteins immobilized at different places on a nitrocellulose membrane.
