The invention provides a reagent strip for joint detection of a syphilis specific IgM antibody and a specific total antibody and a preparation method thereof, relating to a reagent for joint detection of a syphilis specific IgM antibody and a specific total antibody. The reagent strip is provided with two reagent strips, wherein the two reagent strips are both provided with vector plates, sample adding pads, colloidal gold pads, nitrocellulose membranes, control lines and absorbent pads and respectively provided with a syphilis specific IgM antibody detection line and a specific total antibody detection line. The preparation method comprises the following steps: preparing recombinant syphilis antigens TPN17 and TPN47, applying samples of nitrocellulose membranes, preparing colloidal gold,labeling TPN17 and TPN47 with colloidal gold and preparing immunochromatography detection strips. The reagent strip can be used for detecting the syphilis specific IgM antibody and the specific totalantibody in the specimens of whole blood, blood serum, blood plasma, cerebrospinal fluid and the like. During detection, the specimen amount is minimal, special instruments are not needed and the results are directly interpreted by the naked eyes. The reagent strip is simple, convenient, fast, accurate and reliable and has strong specificity, high sensitivity, low cost and wide application range.
