In this study, a 10-channel up-converting phosphor technology-based lateral flow (TC-UPT-LF) assay was developed to profile antibodies against Yersinia pestis. Ten expressed Y. pestis proteins were covalently conjugated with an up-converting phosphor particle to develop double-antigen sandwich immunochromatographic strips to detect corresponding antibodies. After optimization one by one, each strip was integrated into a TC-UPT-LF disc for simultaneously detection of different antibodies. A scanning biosensor was also developed to acquire the results. The performance of the TC-UPT-LF assay was evaluated by using standard samples and plague monkey serum samples. Fifty-one patient serum samples were detected by the TC-UPT-LF assay. The TC-UPT-LF disc could be stable for 10 days at 37°C with an average CV of 10.3%. Its sensitivity and qualitative results are comparable to those of ELISA. Its linearity fitting coefficient of determination (R2) for different antibody detection is between 0.93 and 0.99. Besides F1 antibody, the LcrV and YopD antibodies also showed higher positive ratio than the other seven antibodies, as 100% (13/13) and 92% (12/13) in monkey sera and 86.3% (44/51) and 66.7% (34/51) in patient sera, respectively. It is suggested that the TC-UPT-LF assay has been successfully developed for multi-detection and LcrV and YopD can be the potential diagnostic markers of the plague.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007118	Immunoassay	A technique using antibodies for identifying or quantifying a substance. Usually the substance being studied serves as antigen both in antibody production and in measurement of antibody by the test substance.

D010930	Plague	An acute infectious disease caused by YERSINIA PESTIS that affects humans, wild rodents, and their ectoparasites. This condition persists due to its firm entrenchment in sylvatic rodent-flea ecosystems throughout the world. Bubonic plague is the most common form.
