    Abstract:
    Hapten design and synthesis have been regarded as the key factor to generate high-quality antibodies. In the present study, a novel hapten of chloramphenicol was synthesized, characterized and compared with two conventional haptens. The new hapten generated mAb 4B5 showed higher sensitivity and titer than the other two haptens-based mAbs. The haptens synthesized with the structure of chloramphenicol base generated more sensitive antibodies than the hapten with chloramphenicol succinate, and the spacer arm linked to the phenyl group hapten elicited the strongest antibody response. After optimization, a direct competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (dcELISA) and a lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA), both based on the mAb 4B5, were developed. The dcELISA had a half maximum inhibition concentration of 0.23 ng/mL and the LFIA showed a cutoff value of 5-10 ng/mL. The LFIA was applied to detect illegally-added chloramphenicol samples in anti-acne cosmetics, five out of 19 samples were tested chloramphenicol containing within 10 min, which result was confirmed with the dcELISA and HPLC. The LFIA has an adequate sensitivity and can be used as a point of care diagnostic device for rapidly screening chloramphenicol in cosmetics.
