ABSTRACT

In this study, an immunoassay is developed for qualitative determination of NS1 antigen of dengue virus in serum using nano-gold particles. This diagnostic device comprises of four components such as sample pad, conjugation pad, nitrocellulose membrane and absorbent pad. Anti-NS1 antibodies and rabbit anti-mouse IgG antibodies were coated on nitrocellulose membrane as a test and control line respectively. Assay device was evaluated by purified NS1 and prior ELISA confirmed NS1 positive and negative samples. The diagnostic device showed promising results to detect NS1.
