Enhanced optical immunosensor based on surface plasmon resonance for determination of transferrin

Wavelength modulation surface plasmon resonance biosensors (SPR) using colloidal Au nanoparticles and double-linker sensing membrane enhancement are reported for determination of transferrin. The 2-mercaptoethylamine (MEA) was immobilized on the biosensor surface with traditional amine coupling method. The interaction between colloidal Au nanoparticles and MEA was investigated. The anti-transferrin was immobilized on the biosensor surface prepared with staphylococcal protein A (SPA). The interaction of the antibody and antigen was monitored in real time. The good response was obtained in the concentration range 1-20, 0.1-20 and 0.05-20 μg/mL for directly immune assay, double-linker assay and colloidal Au-amplified assay. The result clearly demonstrates that these methods may obtain significantly enhancement of sensitivity for the wavelength modulation SPR biosensor.     

Au NPs-aptamer conjugates as a powerful competitive reagent for ultrasensitive detection of small molecules by surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy

Features of Au NPs-aptamer conjugates as a powerful competitive reagent to substitute antibody in enhancing surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy (SPR) signal for the detection of small molecule are explored for the first time. In order to evaluate the sensing ability of Au NPs-aptamer conjugates as a competitive reagent, a novel SPR sensor based on indirect competitive inhibition assay (ICIA) for the detection of adenosine is constructed by employing the competitive reaction between antiadenosine aptamer with adenosine and antiadenosine aptamer with its partial complementary ss-DNA. The partial complementary ss-DNA of antiadenosine aptamer is firstly immobilized on SPR gold film as sensing surface. When the Au NPs-antiadenosine aptamer conjugates solution is added to SPR cell in the absence of adenosine, Au NPs-antiadenosine aptamer conjugates is adsorbed to SPR sensor by the DNA hybridization reaction, and results in a large change of SPR signal. However, the change of SPR signal is decreased when the mixing solution of adenosine with Au NPs-antiadenosine aptamer conjugates is added. This is because adenosine reacts with antiadenosine aptamer in Au NPs-antiadenosine aptamer conjugates and changes its structure from ss-DNA to tertiary structure, which cannot hybridize with its partial complementary ss-DNA immobilized on SPR gold surface. Based on this principle, a SPR sensor for indirect detection of adenosine can be developed. The experimental results confirm that the SPR sensor possesses a good sensitivity and a high selectivity for adenosine, which indirectly confirms that Au NPs-aptamer conjugates is a powerful competitive reagent. More significantly, it can be used to develop other SPR sensors based on ICIA to detect different targets by changing the corresponding type of aptamer in Au NPs-aptamer conjugates.     

QCM and EC-SPR Studies of Cytochrome cSelf-assembled on Au Electrode and Enhancement of SPR Signal by Au Nanoparticles

Quartz crystal microbalance(QCM) and cyclic voltammetry(CV) were used to characterize the monolayer of cytochrome c(Cyt c), which was adsorbed on gold film modified with alkanethiol mixed monolayer. A direct comparison of protein surface coverages calculated from QCM and cyclic voltammetric measurements illustrates that the ratio of the electroactive Cyt c to the total surface-confined Cyt cis 34%, which suggests that the orientation is a main factor affecting the electroactivity of Cyt c. Moreover, surface plasmon resonance(SPR) measurement combined with CV “in situ” was used to investigate the conformational change of Cyt c in the redox process. Besides, Au nanoparticles(Au NPs) were adsorbed on the surface of Cyt c. The result indicates that Au NPs promote electron transfer between Cyt c and the gold electrode, and SPR result suggests Au NPs enhance SPR signal.     

Amplified surface plasmon resonance based DNA biosensors, aptasensors, and Hg2+ sensors using hemin/G-quadruplexes and Au nanoparticles

Thiolated nucleic acid hairpin nanostructures that include in their stem region a "caged" G-quadruplex sequence, and in their single-stranded loop region oligonucleotide recognition sequences for DNA, adenosine monophosphate (AMP), or Hg(2+) ions were linked to bare Au surfaces or to Au nanoparticles (NPs) linked to Au surfaces. The opening of the hairpin nanostructures associated with the bare Au surface by the complementary target DNA, AMP substrate, or Hg(2+) ions, in the presence of hemin, led to the self-assembly of hemin/G-quadruplexes on the surface. The resulting dielectric changes on the surface exhibited shifts in the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectra, thus providing a readout signal for the recognition events. A similar opening of the hairpin nanostructures, immobilized on the Au NPs associated with the Au surface, by the DNA, AMP, or Hg(2+) led to an ultrasensitive SPR-amplified detection of the respective analytes. The amplification originated from the coupling between the localized surface plasmon associated with the NPs and the surface plasmon wave, an effect that cooperatively amplifies the SPR shifts that result from the formation of the hemin/G-quadruplexes. The different sensing platforms reveal impressive sensitivities and selectivities toward the target analytes.     

Surface plasmon resonance immunosensor for ErbB2 breast cancer biomarker determination in human serum and raw cancer cell lysates

A highly sensitive surface plasmon resonance (SPR) immunosensor for the important ErbB2 breast cancer biomarker has been developed. Optimization of the assay has been carried out, including signal enhancement employing gold nanoparticles (GNPs). The effect of the signal amplification of the GNPs has been also studied. The assay has been tested with clinically relevant matrices. Results in 50% human serum yielded a LOD of 180 pg mL⁻¹ which is a concentration 83 times lower than the clinical cut-off. Raw lysates from model breast cancer cell lines (SK-BR-3, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-436) have been also assayed and higher quantities of the ErbB2 protein were clearly observed in the ErbB2 over-expressing case (SK-BR-3). The results confirmed that the simple and highly sensitive SPR immunosensor represents a feasible tool for ErbB2 detection.     

Development and characterization of Au-YSZ surface plasmon resonance based sensing materials: high temperature detection of CO

Au-YSZ nanocomposite films exhibited a surface plasmon resonance absorption band around 600 nm that underwent a reversible blue shift and narrowed upon exposure to CO in air at 500 degrees C. A linear dependence of the sensing signal was observed for CO concentrations ranging between 0.1 and 1 vol % in an air carrier gas. This behavior of the SPR band, upon exposure to CO, was not observed when using nitrogen as the carrier gas, indicating an oxygen-dependent reaction mechanism. Additionally, the SPR band showed no measurable signal change upon exposure to CO at temperatures below approximately 400 degrees C. The oxygen and temperature-dependent characteristics, coupled with the oxygen ion formation and conduction properties of the YSZ matrix, are indicative of charge-transfer reactions occurring at the three-phase boundary region between oxygen, Au, and YSZ, which result in charge transfer into the Au nanoparticles. These reactions are associated with the oxidation of CO and a corresponding reduction of the YSZ matrix. The chemical-reaction-induced charge injection into the Au nanoparticles results in the observed blue shift and narrowing of the SPR band.     

Enzyme-free surface plasmon resonance aptasensor for amplified detection of adenosine via target-triggering strand displacement cycle and Au nanoparticles

Herein, we combine the advantage of aptamer technique with the amplifying effect of an enzyme-free signal-amplification and Au nanoparticles (NPs) to design a sensitive surface plasmon resonance (SPR) aptasensor for detecting small molecules. This detection system consists of aptamer, detection probe (c-DNA1) partially hybridizing to the aptamer strand, Au NPs-linked hairpin DNA (Au-H-DNA1), and thiolated hairpin DNA (H-DNA2) previously immobilized on SPR gold chip. In the absence of target, the H-DNA1 possessing hairpin structure cannot hybridize with H-DNA2 and thereby Au NPs will not be captured on the SPR gold chip surface. Upon addition of target, the detection probe c-DNA1 is forced to dissociate from the c-DNA1/aptamer duplex by the specific recognition of the target to its aptamer. The released c-DNA1 hybridizes with Au-H-DNA1 and opens the hairpin structure, which accelerate the hybridization between Au-H-DNA1 and H-DNA2, leading to the displacement of the c-DNA1 through a branch migration process. The released c-DNA1 then hybridizes with another Au-H-DNA1 probe, and the cycle starts anew, resulting in the continuous immobilization of Au-H-DNA1 probes on the SPR chip, generating a significant change of SPR signal due to the electronic coupling interaction between the localized surface plasma of the Au NPs and the surface plasma wave. With the use of adenosine as a proof-of-principle analyte, this sensing platform can detect adenosine specifically with a detection limit as low as 0.21 pM, providing a simple, sensitive and selective protocol for small target molecules detection.
