摘要

The presence of β-lactoglobulin (β-Lg), one of the major food allergens, poses a significant health risk to allergic populations. Therefore, the development of a method for the rapid detection of β-Lg is particularly urgent, aiming at the effective prevention of adverse reactions in allergic patients after exposure to or ingestion of foods containing this allergen. In this study, a lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) using a double-antibody sandwich immunochromatography was developed, with colloidal gold-labeled mouse anti-β-Lg monoclonal antibody 1 (mAb1) as the capture antibody and mouse anti-β-Lg monoclonal antibody 2 (mAb2) as the detection antibody. After optimizing the preparation methods for both the signal probe and the immunochromatographic test strip, the developed test strip exhibited high specificity, high sensitivity (0.5 µg/mL), ease of operation, and portability, enabling the rapid and sensitive detection of cow’s milk β-Lg allergen in food samples within 5 min. By using β-Lg extraction solution and immunochromatographic test strip, a rapid test kit suitable for the detection of β-Lg allergen in bread, cookies, candies, rice infant formula, and other foodstuffs was developed, which provided a rapid and simple method for the qualitative detection of β-Lg in foodstuffs.
