Subsequently, the antibody-conjugated GNCs were analyzed by UV/Vis spectrophotometer, transmission electron microscope, high-resolution transmission electron microscope with energy dispersive spectrometer, dynamic light scattering instrument, and Atom force microscope. The GNC-based CLFA of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and zearalenone (ZEN), a food toxin, required nitrocellulose strips, a NIR laser source, and an infrared camera.Results: The GNC-labeled CLFA platform technique exhibited detection sensitivity, qualitative specificity, and quantitative accuracy. The superior performance of the technique was evident both in sandwich format detection of biomacromolecules (eg, AFP protein) or competitive format detection of small molecules (eg, ZEN). After optimizing various test parameters, GNC-labeled CLFA provided ca. 5-6-fold enhanced sensitivity, higher correlativity (R2>0.99), and more favorable recovery (82–115%) when compared with visual LFA.Conclusion: GNC-labeled CLFA may be a promising detection platform with high sensitivity, specificity, and precision.Keywords: lateral flow assays, LFA, gold nanocages, photothermal effect, alpha-fetoprotein, AFP, zearalenone, ZENHu XWan JPeng XZhao HShi DMai LYang HZhao YYang XDove Medical Pressarticlelateral flow assays (LFA)gold nanocagesphotothermal effectalpha-fetoprotein (AFP)zearalenone (ZEN)Medicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Nanomedicine, Vol Volume 14, Pp 7695-7705 (2019)
