The 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) gene derived from Agrobacterium sp. strain CP4 is known to confer herbicide resistance. It has been extensively utilized in the development of living modified organism (LMO) over the past 25 years. With increasing importation of LMO agricultural products, there is a growing need for rapid and reliable detection methods for detecting the CP4 EPSPS protein. In this study, a rapid immunoassay kit based on the lateral flow assay (LFA) principle was developed to detect herbicide-resistant crops. Using recombinant CP4 EPSPS protein developed by the National Institute of Ecology, two in-house antibodies were produced and evaluated alongside two commercially available antibodies. The optimized antibody combination demonstrated a detection limit of 1%, exhibiting superior sensitivity and accuracy to an existing commercial rapid kit. Furthermore, the developed kit showed shorter analysis time and higher cost efficiency, significantly improving its applicability in field settings. These advancements highlight the potential of this rapid immunoassay kit not only for domestic and international market penetration, but also as a critical tool for advancing GMO detection technologies.
