Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology Researchers Develop Metal-Enhanced Fluorescence Probes for Influenza A Virus Detection
In recent years, fluorescence-based lateral flow immunoassay (LFI) has gained popularity as a diagnostic tool for viral detection.
- In recent years, fluorescence-based lateral flow immunoassay (LFI) has gained popularity as a diagnostic tool for viral detection.
- It is a rapid virus detection platform which uses molecules that glow under special lighting conditions in the presence of a viral load.
- However, the performance of this detection platform is limited due to several issues related to detection sensitivity.
- Furthermore, they demonstrated the applicability of optimized MEF probes by incorporating it onto a LFI platform for the detection of influenza A virus (IAV).
