Background: Areca Palm Velarivirus 1 (APV1), the causal agent of betel palm yellow leaf disease (YLD), has caused significant yield losses and decreased product quality of betel nuts, posing a serious economic threat to local farmers. There is an urgent need for a convenient and reliable method for the rapid detection and surveillance of APV1.The Capsid protein (CP) of APV1 was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified as antigen to immunize BALB/c mice. Two specific monoclonal antibodies monoclonal antibodies ((MAbs)), APV1CP-1 and APV1CP-10, were generated through the hybridoma technique. APV1CP-1 was conjugated with colloidal gold served as detection reagent, while APV1CP-10 was coated onto a porous nitrocellulose membrane to act as the detection line. Goat anti-mouse IgG was used as the control line.These components were then assembled into a colloidal gold immunochromatographic strip (CGICS) for effective detection of APV1.The MAbs monoclonal antibodies APV1CP-1 and APV1CP-10 were successfully obtained with titers exceeding 1:102,400. Colloidal gold particles used in the assay had an approximate diameter of 30-40 nm, and exhibited a surface plasmon resonance peak around 530 nm. The CGICS allowed for the detection of APV1 by applying infected sap to the test strip, with results visible within 5-10 minutes. The test showed no cross-reactivity with other viruses tested, and the visual detection limit for APV1 was established at a 100-fold dilutions of APV1-infected leaf samples.: The monoclonal antibody-based colloidal gold immunochromatographic strip developed in this study demonstrates significant convenience, rapidity, and 设置了格式: 字体: 倾斜 设置了格式: 字体: 小四 reliability for APV1 detection. These advancements are anticipated to facilitate rapid diagnosis and surveillance of APV1 in field settings.
