Phage-displayed peptides have been proven to be powerful reagents for competitive and noncompetitive immunoassays. However, they are unconventional reagents, which greatly limit their analytical commercial applications and require additional reagents for detection. In this work, the peptides that specifically bind with anti-benzothiostrobin monoclonal antibody (mAb) or benzothiostrobin-mAb immunocomplex were synthesized and conjugated with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) as substitutes of the phage-displayed peptides to avoid their shortcomings and extend their applications. Competitive and noncompetitive fluorescence immunoassays (FIAs) for benzothiostrobin were developed by mAb coupling with magnetic nanoparticles as concentration elements and peptides conjugated with FITC as tracers. Compared with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, the FIAs reduced the number of steps from 6 to 2 and analysis time from more than 5 to 1.2 h. The competitive FIA showed the half-maximal inhibition concentration (IC50) of 16.8 ng mL-1 and detection range (IC10-IC90) of 1.0-759.9 ng mL-1, while the concentration of analyte producing 50% saturation of the signal (SC50) and detection range (SC10-SC90) of noncompetitive FIA were 93.4 and 5.9-788.2 ng mL-1, respectively. The average spiked recoveries were 68.33-98.50% and 73.33-96.67% for competitive and noncompetitive FIAs, respectively. The FIAs showed good correlation with high-performance liquid chromatography for the detection of benzothiostrobin in authentic samples.
