FLUORESCENT SINGLE CHAIN ANTIBODY (SC-FV) AND ITS USE IN DETECTION OF ANALYTES

摘要

A fluorescent single chain antibody construct is provided comprising a single chain antibody reactive with a target analyte and conjugated with a fluorophore. Also provided is a method for rapid and accurate detection of analytes using the fluorescent single chain antibody construct thereof. Further provided is a diagnostic kit for detecting pathogens using a fluorescent single chain antibody construct comprising a single chain antibody reactive with pathogen- related antigens and conjugated with a fluorophore.
