Abstract
In this study, a murine monoclonal antibody (mAb) of 6D2-G10 against bacitracin zinc (BAC) was produced and applied to an immunochromatographic strip (ICS) for the initial detection of BAC in milk. The ICS with a cut-off value of 25 ng/mL could be perceived by the naked eye within 10 min. With the assist of the strip reader, the limit of detection (LOD) was measured as 0.82 ng/mL, the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) was recorded as 3.16 ng/mL, and the linear detection range was from 0.97 to 10.30 ng/mL. The recoveries ranged from 87.7% to 96.0% with the highest coefficient of variation (CV) of 9.1% in the intra-assay and from 84.3% to 90.2% with the highest CV of 10.7% in the inter-assay. In short, the established ICS provided a serviceable analytical tool for qualitatively and quantitatively monitoring BAC in milk.
