Abstract

A colloidal textile dye-based dipstick immunoassay was developed for the detection of Bombyx mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus (BmNPV). The textile dye-based dipstick immunoassay favorably compares with the enzyme-based dipstick assay with regard to simplicity, sensitivity, storage, and cost efficiency. Dipstick textile blue D2R dye (Aλmax = 620), sensitized with 500 μg/ml of affinity purified anti-BmNPV IgG, could detect 10 ng/ml of antigen by forming a clear blue dot in 30 min. The sensitized dye was observed to be stable for a 3-month period at 4·C. The colloidal dye-based dipstick immunoassay method provides a simple and sensitive test for the detection of BmNPV in silkworms.
