Abstract

We report the development of a novel europium nanoparticle-based immunoassay (ENIA) for rapid detection of influenza A and influenza B viruses. ENIA demonstrated a sensitivity of 90.7% (147/162) for influenza A viruses and 81.80 % (9/11) for influenza B viruses compared to a in house RT-PCR assay while testing influenza-positive clinical samples.
