Improvement of surface plasmon resonance biosensor with magnetic beads via assembled polyelectrolyte layers

The conjugates of magnetic beads coupled with an antibody can be trapped on the Au film firmly due to the magnetic force for the immunoassay of a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor. However, this approach exhibits significant limitations in robustness and sensitivity due to incomplete dissociation of magnetic beads from the Au film. The incorporation of a polyelectrolyte film on the Au surface can prevent the magnetic beads from the direct contact with the Au film. The layer-by-layer assembly of polyelectrolyte was used as spacer between the gold surface and the magnetic bead. Different layers of polyelectrolyte can be assembled onto the Au film based on an electrostatic force between polycations and polyanions. After the polyelectrolyte film was fabricated on the Au film, the deposition of the magnetic beads was maintained effectively on the film, which favors the sensitivity of the biosensor and the regeneration of the sensing membrane. When the polyelectrolyte layers of (PAH/PSS)₃ were constructed on the Au film, the SPR biosensor with magnetic beads exhibited a satisfactory response to human IgG in the concentration range from 0.25 to 30.00 μg mL⁻¹, and the determination limit obtained is eight times lower than that obtained with (PAH/PSS)₁ layer.     

Magnetic force-based multiplexed immunoassay using superparamagnetic nanoparticles in microfluidic channel

This paper describes a novel microfluidic immunoassay utilizing binding of superparamagnetic nanoparticles to beads and deflection of these beads in a magnetic field as the signal for measuring the presence of analyte. The superparamagnetic 50 nm nanoparticles and fluorescent 1 microm polystyrene beads are immobilized with specific antibodies. When target analytes react with the polystyrene beads and superparamagnetic nanoparticles simultaneously, the superparamagnetic nanoparticles can be attached onto the microbeads by the antigen-antibody complex. In the poly(dimethylsiloxane)(PDMS) microfluidic channel, only the microbeads conjugated with superparamagnetic nanoparticles by analytes consequently move to the high gradient magnetic fields under the specific applied magnetic field. In this study, the magnetic force-based microfluidic immunoassay is successfully applied to detect the rabbit IgG and mouse IgG as model analytes. The lowest concentration of rabbit IgG and mouse IgG measured over the background is 244 pg mL(-1) and 15.6 ng mL(-1), respectively. The velocities of microbeads conjugated with superparamagnetic nanoparticles are demonstrated by magnetic field gradients in microfluidic channels and compared with the calculated magnetic field gradients. Moreover, dual analyte detection in a single reaction is also performed by the fluorescent encoded microbeads in the microfluidic device. Detection range and lower detection limit can be controlled by the microbeads concentration and the higher magnetic field gradient.     

On-column capture of a specific protein in capillary electrophoresis using magnetic beads

A method for capturing specific molecules separated by CE has been explored. To demonstrate on-column capture of migrating analyte molecules, two detection windows were fabricated on a capillary. Magnetic beads containing immobilized molecules that react with the specific molecules under study were placed between the detection windows in the capillary using magnets. Molecules in a sample solution injected into the capillary were separated and detected at the first detection window. After passing through the first detection window, the separated molecules encountered the magnetic beads, where the specific analyte was captured. As a result, the peak area for those analyte molecules decreased or disappeared completely at the second detection window. Rabbit IgG and carbonic anhydrase were employed to demonstrate on-column capture of a specific molecule. For rabbit IgG, magnetic beads containing the immobilized antibody (anti-rabbit IgG) were used. Rabbit IgG molecules were captured on the magnetic beads during CE migration. Furthermore, the capture of carbonic anhydrase was demonstrated by the reaction between magnetic beads (containing immobilized anti-rabbit IgG) and anti-carbonic anhydrase (rabbit IgG), before the beads were packed in the capillary. After packing the magnetic beads in the capillary, a mixture of two proteins was injected into the capillary. Two proteins were detected at the first detection window, while the peak corresponding to carbonic anhydrase disappeared at the second detection window. The results show that using an appropriate antibody, the present technique would be applicable to any proteins.     

Preparation and characterization of monodisperse superparamagnetic poly(vinyl alcohol) beads by reverse spray suspension crosslinking

A novel protocol for preparing magnetic poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) beads by reverse spray suspension crosslinking was reported. The hydrophilic Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles were mixed with PVA, glutaraldehyde, and water to form aqueous phase. Then the aqueous phase was sprayed into vegetable oil by a pressure of nitrogen gas to form water in oil (W/O) suspension. The magnetic PVA beads were obtained in the presence of hydrochloric acid catalyst. It was found that the magnetic PVA beads obtained good properties when the PVA concentration was 10%, and the oil phase temperature was controlled at 40 °C. The mechanical stirring has little impact on the size of magnetic PVA beads in the process of reverse spray suspension crosslinking. The Cibacron Blue (CB) was coupled on the surface of magnetic PVA beads by surface chemical reaction. The morphology, size, and magnetic properties of the magnetic PVA beads were examined by scanning electron microscopy, laser diffraction, and vibrating sample magnetometer, respectively. Compared with the stirring method, it was found that the size of magnetic PVA beads was monodisperse and their saturation magnetization was much higher. Fourier transform infrared and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy experimental results proved that CB molecules were covalently immobilized onto the surface of the magnetic PVA beads. Meanwhile, the protein affinity separation experiments demonstrated that the magnetic PVA beads can potentially be used as a carrier for large‐scale protein separation. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The effective and specific isolation of antibodies from human serum by using thiophilic paramagnetic polymer beads

A rapid and effective method to specifically isolate immunoglobulin G (IgG) from human serum by thiophilic paramagnetic polymer beads was developed. The thiophilic paramagnetic beads were synthesized with vinyl acetate and divinylbenzene by microsuspension polymerization in the presence of magnetite nanoparticles. Divinylsulfone and 2-mercapto-benzothiazole were subsequently used to modify the surface of these beads, resulting in thiophilic particles that exhibited a high specificity to the antibodies in serum at low salt concentration. The adsorbed IgG was eluted by 0.8 M KCl and 72% of the IgG in the serum was recovered. The purity of the isolated IgG reached 98.4% and the bioactivity was fully maintained (>99%). The high efficiency, mild conditions and simplicity make this technology suitable for the economic purification of antibodies in a large scale.     

A new strategy for electrochemical immunoassay based on enzymatic silver deposition on agarose beads

A novel, sensitive electrochemical immunoassay in a homogeneously dispersed medium is described herein based on the unique features of agarose beads and the special amplified properties of biometallization. The immunochemical recognition event between human immunoglobulin G (IgG) and goat anti-human IgG antibody is chosen as the model system to demonstrate the proposed immunoassay approach. Avidin-agarose beads rapidly react with the biotinylated goat anti-human IgG antibody to form agarose beads-goat anti-human IgG conjugate (agarose bead-Ab). Agarose bead-Ab, alkaline phosphatase conjugated goat anti-human IgG antibody (ALP-Ab) and the human IgG analyte are mixed to form sandwich-type immunocomplex followed by the addition of the enzymatic silver deposition solution to deposit silver onto the surface of proteins and agarose beads. The silver deposited are dissolved and quantified by anodic stripping voltammetry. The influence of relevant experimental variables was examined and optimized. The logarithm of the anodic stripping peak current depended linearly on the logarithm of the concentration of human IgG in the range from 1 to 1000 ng/ml. A detection limit as low as 0.5 ng/ml human IgG was attained by 3σ-rule. The R.S.D. of the approach is 9.65% for eight times determination of 10 ng/ml human IgG under same conditions. Optical microscope and TEM graphs were also utilized to characterize agarose beads and silver nanoparticles formed.     

Purification of the specific immunoglobulin G1 by immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography using nickel complexes of chelating porous and nonporous polymeric sorbents based on poly(methacrylic esters). Effect of polymer structure

Ni2+ complexes of the chelating nonporous and porous bead sorbents based on methacrylic esters crosslinked with ethylene dimethacrylate were used in isolation of the horseradish peroxidase-specific immunoglobulin IgG1 from the crude mouse ascitic fluid by immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC). Iminodiacetic and aspartic acids were attached to porous poly(glycidyl methacrylate) beads differing in size, morphology and chemical composition. Ethylenediaminetriacetic acid and quinolin-8-ol chelating groups were attached mainly to the surface hydroxyl groups in nonporous poly(diethylene glycol methacrylate) beads through spacers. The latter sorbents exhibited better kinetic characteristics than the former but a very low IgG1 sorption capacity. In a single-step IMAC procedure, the best efficiency in the specific IgG1 purification was obtained with porous sorbents (recovery 92%, purity 73%). Differences in IMAC separations are discussed from the point of view of morphology of polymer beads as well as of the type and concentration of chelating ligands.     

Sequential injection chemiluminescence immunoassay for anionic surfactants using magnetic microbeads immobilized with an antibody

A rapid and sensitive immunoassay for the determination of linear alkylbenzene sulfonates (LAS) is described. The method involves a sequential injection analysis (SIA) system equipped with a chemiluminescence detector and a neodymium magnet. Magnetic beads, to which an anti-LAS monoclonal antibody was immobilized, were used as a solid support in an immunoassay. The introduction, trapping and release of the magnetic beads in the flow cell were controlled by means of a neodymium magnet and adjusting the flow of the carrier solution. The immunoassay was based on an indirect competitive immunoreaction of an anti-LAS monoclonal antibody on the magnetic beads and the LAS sample and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled LAS, and was based on the subsequent chemiluminscence reaction of HRP with hydrogen peroxide and p-iodophenol, in a luminol solution. The anti-LAS antibody was immobilized on the beads by coupling the antibody with the magnetic beads after activation of a carboxylate moiety on the surface of magnetic beads that had been coated with a polylactic acid film. The antibody immobilized magnetic beads were introduced, and trapped in the flow cell equipped with the neodymium magnet, an LAS solution containing HRP-labeled LAS at constant concentration and the luminol solution were sequentially introduced into the flow cell based on an SIA programmed sequence. Chemiluminescence emission was monitored by means of a photon counting unit located at the upper side of the flow cell by collecting the emitted light with a lens. A typical sigmoid calibration curve was obtained, when the logarithm of the concentration of LAS was plotted against the chemiluminescence intensity using various concentrations of standard LAS samples (0-500 ppb) under optimum conditions. The time required for analysis is less than 15 min.     

Immobilization of β-Galactosidase onto Magnetic Beads

A study of the cross-linking of β-galactosidase on magnetic beads is reported here. The magnetic beads were prepared from artemisia seed gum, chitosan, and magnetic fluid in the presence of a cross-linking regent (i.e., glutaraldehyde). The reactive aldehyde groups of the magnetic beads allowed the reaction of the amino groups of the enzymes. The animated magnetic beads were used for the covalent immobilization of β-galactosidase. The effect of various preparation conditions on the activity of the immobilized β-galactosidase, such as immobilizing time, amount of enzyme, and the concentration of glutaraldehyde, were investigated. The influence of pH and temperature on the activity and the stability of the enzyme, both free and immobilized, have been studied. And o-nitrophenyl-β-d-galactopyranoside (ONPG) was chosen as a substrate. The β-galactosidase immobilized on the magnetic beads resulted in an increase in enzyme stability. Optimum operational temperature for immobilized enzyme was 10 °C higher than that of free enzyme and was significantly broader.
