Biosensor screening for veterinary drug residues in foodstuffs

The advent of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor has led to many applications in diverse fields from the pharmaceutical industry to the life sciences and other areas within biotechnology. One area that has seen a significant increase in applications is the testing for veterinary drug residues in foodstuffs. These include tests for antibiotics, beta-agonists, and antiparasitic drugs. The introduction of the Biacore Q in the late 1990s, an SPR biosensor dedicated to the food industry, and the complementary development of kits to test for these residues mean that end users have a viable alternative screening test to the established enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) techniques. This paper reviews many SPR biosensor veterinary drug tests that have been developed, with particular emphasis placed on kit-based assays.     

Surface plasmon resonance biosensor for genetically modified organisms detection

The development of a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) affinity biosensor based on DNA hybridisation is described. This biosensor has been applied to genetically modified organisms (GMOs) detection. Single stranded DNA (ssDNA) probes were immobilised on the sensor chip of an SPR device and the hybridisation between the immobilised probe and the complementary sequence (target) was monitored. The probe sequences were internal to the sequence of 35S promoter and NOS terminator which are inserted sequences in the genome of GMO regulating the transgene expression. The system has been optimised using synthetic oligonucleotides, then applied to real samples analysis. Samples, containing the transgenic target sequences, were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and then detected with the SPR biosensor.     

An optical surface plasmon resonance biosensor for determination of tetanus toxin

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) has been successfully applied for the simple, rapid, and label-free assay of various biomolecules. This assay evaluates a novel wavelength modulation SPR biosensor for the detection of tetanus toxin. The wavelength modulation SPR biosensor is designed based on fixing the incident angle of light and measuring the reflected intensities in the resonance wavelength range spanning 400-800 nm simultaneously. Tetanus toxin (TeNT), one of the most potent toxins known, is synthesized as a 150 kDa single polypeptide chain. The SPR biosensor has been shown to be capable of directly detecting concentration of tetanus toxin as low as 0.028 Lf ml⁻¹. Under selected experimental conditions, the SPR biosensor has a good reproducibility, sensitivity and reversibility. The results illustrate how wavelength modulation SPR biosensor can be used to detect biomolecular interactions.     

A novel electrochemical SPR biosensor

In this paper, we demonstrate for the first time that upon electrochemical oxidation/reduction, the transition in the conductivity of polyaniline (PAn) film on gold electrode surface leads to a large change of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) response due to a change in the imaginary part of dielectric constant of PAn film. Based on the amplifying response of SPR to the redox transformation of PAn film as a direct result of the enzymatic reaction between horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and PAn in the presence of H₂O₂, a novel PAn-mediated HRP sensor has been fabricated. The electrochemical SPR biosensor, unlike a usual binding assay with SPR, can afford a larger SPR response, and can also be reused by reducing the PAn film electrochemically to its reduced state. This method opens up a new route to the fabrication of SPR biosensor.     

Detection of microcystins in environmental samples using surface plasmon resonance biosensor

An indirect inhibitive surface plasmon resonance (SPR) immunoassay was developed for the microcystins (MCs) detection. The bioconjugate of MC-LR and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was immobilized on a CM5 sensor chip. A serial premixture of MC-LR standards (or samples) and monoclonal antibody (mAb) were injected over the functional sensor surface, and the subsequent specific immunoreaction was monitored on the BIAcore 3000 biosensor and generated a signal with an increasing intensity in response to the decreasing MCs concentration. The developed SPR immunoassay has a wide quantitative range in 1-100 μg L⁻¹. Although not as sensitive as conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), the SPR biosensor offered unique advantages: (1) the sensor chip could be reusable without any significant loss in its binding activity after 50 assay-regeneration cycles, (2) one single assay could be accomplished in 50 min (including 30-min preincubation and 20-min BIAcore analysis), and (3) this method did not require multiple steps. The SPR biosensor was also used to detect MCs in environmental samples, and the results compared well with those obtained by ELISA. We conclude that the SPR biosensor offers outstanding advantages for the MCs detection and may be further developed as a field-portable sensor for real-time monitoring of MCs on site in the near future.     

Combined affinity and catalytic biosensor: in situ enzymatic activity monitoring of surface-bound enzymes

Surface Plasmon Resonance Spectroscopy (SPR) and miniature Fiber Optic Absorbance Spectroscopy (FOAS) were combined to monitor in situ and quantitatively an enzymatic model reaction catalyzed by beta-lactamase. The enzyme was covalently immobilized to the gold surface of a SPR chip, which was functionalized with NeutrAvidin through a biotinylated alkanethiol self-assembled monolayer, thus serving as a highly sensitive affinity biosensor. SPR was used to control the density of the surface-bound enzyme. Nitrocefin as the enzymatic substrate was allowed to react with the immobilized enzyme in the SPR flow cell, and its turnover was detected with the FOAS system acting as the catalytic biosensor. The coupling of the two techniques has a substantial potential for highly controlled on-line monitoring of surface-bound enzyme activity. The FOAS technique may also be easily employed as an add-on device to other types of affinity sensing instruments.     

A low-cost surface plasmon resonance instrument based on detection of resonance excitation wavelength

A laboratory-made surface plasmon resonance (SPR) instrument based on the detection of resonance excitation wavelength has been successfully fabricated. The performance and workability of the SPR instrument was demonstrated as a DNA biosensor. Biotinylated single-stranded oligonucleotides (ssDNA) were chemically immobilized on a gold-film surface of the SPR instrument as a DNA probe for the detection of its fully complementary, half-complementary and non-complementary ssDNA. The immobilization of the ssDNA probe was done by avidin-biotin linkage. The ssDNA used were 12-mer oligonucleotides. The sensing mechanism was based on the shift in resonance wavelength of an excitation light beam as the target ssDNA hybridized with the ssDNA on the gold-film surface. The linear dynamic ranges of the DNA biosensor for fully complementary and half-complementary ssDNA are 0.04-1.2 pM and 0.08-1.1 pM, respectively. The DNA biosensor showed higher sensitivity to fully complementary ssDNA than to half-complementary ssDNA. But no shift of resonance wavelength to the non-complementary ssDNA was observed.     

Detection of bisphenol A using a novel surface plasmon resonance biosensor

We present a compact surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor for the detection of bisphenol A (BpA), an endocrine-disrupting chemical. The biosensor is based on an SPR sensor platform (SPRCD) and the binding inhibition detection format. The detection of BpA in PBS and wastewater was performed at concentrations ranging from 0.05 to 1,000 ng/ml. The limit of detection for BpA in PBS and wastewater was estimated to be 0.08 and 0.14 ng/ml, respectively. It was also demonstrated that the biosensor can be regenerated for repeated use. Results achieved with the SPR biosensor are compared with those obtained using ELISA and HPLC methods.     

Gold nanostar-enhanced surface plasmon resonance biosensor based on carboxyl-functionalized graphene oxide

A new high-sensitivity surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor based on biofunctional gold nanostars (AuNSs) and carboxyl-functionalized graphene oxide (cGO) sheets was described. Compared with spherical gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), the anisotropic structure of AuNSs, which concentrates the electric charge density on its sharp tips, could enhance the local electromagnetic field and the electronic coupling effect significantly. cGO was obtained by a diazonium reaction of graphene oxide (GO) with 4-aminobenzoic acid. Compared with GO, cGO could immobilize more antibodies due to the abundant carboxylic groups on its surface. Testing results show that there are fairly large improvements in the analytical performance of the SPR biosensor using cGO/AuNSs-antigen conjugate, and the detection limit of the proposed biosensor is 0.0375 μg mL⁻¹, which is 32 times lower than that of graphene oxide-based biosensor.     

Kinetic Analysis of the Interaction between Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs and Cyclooxygenase-2Using Wavelength Modulation Surface Plasmon Resonance

A surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor based on wavelength modulation technology was developed and validated for the kinetic analysis of the interactions between two nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and cyclooxygenase‐2 (COX‐2). After the effect of different concentration COX‐2 on the binding capacity of the SPR biosensor surface was studied, the COX‐2 was immobilized covalently onto the biosensor surface using a standard amine coupling method. The affinity constants for indomethacin, ketoprofen binding to COX‐2 are 7.5×10³ L/mol and 9.25×10³ L/mol, respectively. The biosensor surface can be regenerated after being rinsed with 0.01 mol/L NaOH, and the biosensor can be used repeatedly. These indicated that the wavelength modulation SPR biosensor has the potential application in the fields of pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and drug discovery.
