In this study, we developed a rapid and sensitive indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ic-ELISA) and a gold nanoparticle immunochromatographic (ICA) strip test for detecting RBV in chicken muscles. Under the optimum assay conditions, where the assay employed phosphate-buffered saline at pH 7.4, no acetonitrile, and an ionic strength of 0.8%, the quantitative working range was 1.4326.47ng/ml with an IC50 of 6.15ng/ml. The recovery rate for RBV in real samples ranged from 82.1% to 112.3%. The immunochromatographic test strip method had a visual cutoff value of 50g/kg. Given their high recovery rates and good sensitivity, the proposed ic-ELISA and ICA methods could be useful for the RBV analysis in chicken tissue samples.", }
