Abstract
A composition comprising gold nanoparticles which are linked to polyclonal antibodies. The composition may be used to detect the presence of a target which binds to the polyclonal antibody in solution. The binding of the target to the polyclonal antibody triggers a self-assembly of the polyclonal antibody and the gold nanoparticles. This self-assembly of the polyclonal antibody and the gold nanoparticles triggers a colour change in the surface plasmon of the gold nanoparticles which indicates the presence of the target.
