Lupin is increasingly being used in a variety of food products due to its nutritional, functional and nutraceutical properties. However, several examples of severe and even fatal food-associated anaphylaxis due to lupin inhalation or ingestion have been reported, resulting in the lupin subunit β-conglutin, being defined as the Lup an 1 allergen by the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS) in 2008. Here, we report an innovative method termed aptamer-recombinase polymerase amplification (Apta-RPA) exploiting the affinity and specificity of a DNA aptamer selected against the anaphylactic β-conglutin allergen termed β-conglutin binding aptamer II (β-CBA II), facilitating ultrasensitive detection via isothermal amplification. Combining magnetic beads as the solid phase with Apta-RPA detection, the total assay time was reduced from 210 min to just 25 min, with a limit of detection of 3.5 × 10−11 M, demonstrating a rapid and ultrasensitive generic methodology that can be used with any aptamer. Future work will focus on further simplification of the assay to a lateral flow format.
