Abstract
The development of a sensitive and rapid diagnostic test is needed for early detection of avian influenza (AI) H7 subtype. In this study, novel monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against influenza A H7N9 recombinant hemagglutinin (rHA)1 were developed and applied to a Europium nanoparticle–based rapid fluorescent immunochromatographic strip test (FICT) to improve the sensitivity of the rapid diagnostic system. Two antibodies (2F4 and 6D7) exhibited H7 subtype specificity in a dot-FICT assay by optimization of the conjugate and the pH of the lysis buffer. The subtype specificity was confirmed by an immunofluorescence assay and Western blot analysis. The limit of detection of the FICT employing novel mAbs 31 ng/mL for H7N9 rHA1 and 40 hemagglutination units/mL for H7 subtype virus. Sensitivity was improved 25-fold using Europium as confirmed by comparison of colloidal gold-based rapid diagnostic kit using the 2F4 and 6D7 mAbs.

Anti-fouling and thermosensitive ion-imprinted nanocomposite membranes based on grapheme oxide and silicon dioxide for selectively separating europium ions.

TL;DR: The ion-imprinted nanocomposite membranes synthesized in this work have shown great potentials for selective separation of rare earth ions and negligible damage of the membranes after buried for 20 d indicated the superior anti-fouling property of the Eu-IIMs.

Avian Influenza in Wild Birds and Poultry: Dissemination Pathways, Monitoring Methods, and Virus Ecology

TL;DR: In this article, the role of migratory birds in the spread and introduction of influenza strains on a global level, based on recent data, is assessed, which sheds light on the details of viral dissemination linked to avian migration, the viral exchange between migratory waterfowl and domestic poultry, virus ecology in general, and viral evolution as a process tightly linked to bird migration.

Effective Bioactivity Retention of Low-Concentration Antibodies on HFBI-Modified Fluorescence ICTS for Sensitive and Rapid Detection of PSA.

TL;DR: The results indicated that HFBI could self-assemble on the PNM and immobilize the Abs in the "stand-up" orientation and provide a novel and promising strategy of Ab immobilization on FICTS for near-patient and point-of-care application.

Development of a Real-Time Reverse Transcriptase PCR Assay for Type A Influenza Virus and the Avian H5 and H7 Hemagglutinin Subtypes

TL;DR: The sensitivity and specificity of the real-time PCR assay were directly compared with those of the current standard for detection of influenza virus: virus isolation in embryonated chicken eggs and hemagglutinin subtyping by hemagGLutination inhibition (HI) assay.

Avian influenza A virus (H7N7) associated with human conjunctivitis and a fatal case of acute respiratory distress syndrome

TL;DR: Because H7N7 viruses have caused disease in mammals, including horses, seals, and humans, on several occasions in the past, they may be unusual in their zoonotic potential and, thus, form a pandemic threat to humans.

Transmission of H7N7 avian influenza A virus to human beings during a large outbreak in commercial poultry farms in the Netherlands

TL;DR: An unexpectedly high number of transmissions of avian influenza A virus subtype H7N7 to people directly involved in handling infected poultry, and evidence for person-to-person transmission are noted.
