A novel rapid (20 min) fluorescent lateral flow test for chloramphenicol (CAP) detection in milk was developed. The chosen format is a binding-inhibition assay. Water-soluble quantum dots with an emission peak at 625 nm were applied as a label. Milk samples were diluted by 20 % with phosphate buffer to eliminate the matrix effect. The result of the assay could be seen by eye under UV light excitation or registered by a portable power-dependent photometer. The limit of CAP detection by the second approach is 0.2 ng/mL, and the limit of quantitation is 0.3 ng/mL. Figure

Enzyme immunoassays with optical detection are amongst the most widely used bioanalytical tools. We defined seven parameters for the quality assessment of immunoassays that were addressed in a systematic study of direct and indirect immunoassays, using the enzymes horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and alkaline phosphatase (AP), the chromogenic substrates 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and para-nitrophenyl phosphate, and the fluorescent substrates 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid and 4-methylumbelliferyl phosphate. The same monoclonal antibody against caffeine was used throughout the study. The four quality parameters regarding the standard curve were the test midpoint (sensitivity), the measurement range, the relative dynamic range of the signal, and the goodness of fit of the adjusted four-parameter logistic function. All HRP immunoassays showed a higher sensitivity compared to the AP assays. On the basis of all four criteria, it was established that the direct assay format is superior to the indirect format, the immunoassay using HRP TMB fulfilling all requirements best. In a second step, caffeine concentrations in 24 beverage and cosmetics samples were determined and three more quality parameters were assessed with this application. The direct HRP TMB assay showed one of the best intra- and inter-plate precisions and the best accuracy, defined by the correlation of results with those from the chosen reference method liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Considering all criteria, HRP TMB seems to be the enzyme substrate system of choice preferably used in the direct assay format. Figure

Myoglobin is one of several cardiac markers which become elevated in the blood following an acute myocardial infarction and can aid in the diagnosis of a heart attack. Here, a sandwich immunoassay for myoglobin was developed, including a thorough optimization of fluorescent dye-encapsulating liposomes versus enzymatic amplification (alkaline phosphatase and horseradish peroxidase) at each step. The optimized microtiter plate-based assay was capable of detecting as low as 11.3 pg/mL myoglobin and was successfully applied for the quantification of myoglobin in human serum. In comparison to enzymatic approaches, the liposomes demonstrated lower limits of detection, significantly reduced limits of quantification, improved signal discrimination through substantial signal enhancement, and reduced assay time. Liposomes were stable and functional at ambient temperatures for over 400 days. Finally, ease of use was greater due to lack of reliance on additional reagents, non-time-based signal enhancement, and excellent photostability. Optimal conditions identified for enzymatic approaches can also be used for liposome amplification, which makes substitution of these liposomes into existing assays straightforward. Thus, the extensive studies carried out here suggest that liposomes may be incorporated into formats currently utilizing enzymatic enhanced fluorescence with a potential for increased performance on various levels.

The fluorescent microsphere has been increasingly used as detecting label in immunoassay because of its stable configuration, high fluorescence intensity, and photostability. In this paper, we developed a novel lateral flow fluorescent microsphere immunoassay (FMIA) for the determination of sulfamethazine (SMZ) in milk in a quantitative manner with high sensitivity, selectivity, and rapidity. A monoclonal antibody to SMZ was covalently conjugated with the carboxylate-modified fluorescent microsphere, which is polystyrene with a diameter of 200 nm. Quantitative detection of SMZ in milk was accomplished by recording the fluorescence intensity of microspheres captured on the test line after the milk samples were diluted five times. Under optimal conditions, the FMIA displays a rapid response for SMZ with a limit of detection of as low as 0.025 ng mL?1 in buffer and 0.11 μg L?1 in milk samples. The FMIA was then successfully applied on spiked milk samples and the recoveries ranged from 101.1 to 113.6 % in the inter-batch assay with coefficient of variations of 6.0 to 14.3 %. We demonstrate here that the fluorescent microsphere-based lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) is capable of rapid, sensitive, and quantitative detection of SMZ in milk. Figure

Multiplex bead-array competitive immunoassay for simultaneous detection of three pesticides in vegetables 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We report on a multiplex bead-based competitive immunoassay using suspension array technology for the simultaneous detection of the pesticides triazophos, carbofuran and chlorpyrifos. Three hapten-protein conjugates were covalently bound to carboxylated fluorescent microspheres to serve as probes. The amount of conjugates and antibodies were optimized. The new multi-analyte assay has dynamic ranges of 0.02–50 ng?mL?1, 0.5–500 ng?mL?1 and 1.0–1000 ng?mL?1 for triazophos, carbofuran and chlorpyrifos, respectively, and the detection limits are 0.024, 0.93 and 1.68 ng?mL?1. This new multiplex assay is superior to the traditional ELISA in possessing a wider detection range, better reproducibility and the feature of multi-target detection. Cross-reactivity studies indicated that the bead-array method is highly selective for the three target pesticides, and that individual analyses have no significant influence between each other, also without cross-reactions from other structurally related pesticides. The method was applied to analyze vegetables spiked with the three pesticides, and the recoveries were in ranges of 78.5–112.1 %, 72.2–120.2 % and 70.2–112.8 %, respectively, with mean coefficients of variation of <15 %.

A duplex–triplex switchable DNA nanomachine was fabricated and has been applied for the demonstration of intracellular acidification and apoptosis of Ramos cells, with graphene oxide (GO) not only as transporter but also as fluorescence quencher. The machine constructed with triplex-forming oligonucleotide exhibited duplex–triplex transition at different pH conditions. By virtue of the remarkable difference in affinity of GO with single-stranded DNA and triplex DNA, and the super fluorescence quenching efficiency of GO, the nanomachine functions as a pH sensor based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer. Moreover, taking advantage of the excellent transporter property of GO, the duplex–triplex/GO nanomachine was used to sense pH changes inside Ramos cells during apoptosis. Fluorescence images showed different results between living and apoptotic cells, illustrating the potential of DNA scaffolds responsive to more complex pH triggers in living systems. Figure

We are presenting the first method for identification and quantification of antibiotic derivatives in honey samples using regenerable antigen microarrays in combination with an automated flow injection system. The scheme is based on an indirect competitive immunoassay format using monoclonal antibodies bound to the surface of the microarray. The surface of glass slides was coated with epoxy-activated poly(ethylene glycol) and enables direct immobilization of the antibiotic derivatives. The antigen/antibody interaction on the surface of the chip can be detected by chemiluminescence (CL) read-out via CCD camera. The method allows for fast analysis of the four analytes simultaneously and without purification or extraction. An effective data evaluation method also was developed to warrant unambiguous identification of the spots and to establish grey levels of CL intensities. The software developed enables fast and automated processing of the CL images. Dose?Cresponse curves were obtained for the derivatives of enrofloxacin, sulfadiazine, sulfamethazine and streptomycin. Spiking experiments revealed adequate recoveries within the dynamic ranges of the calibration curves of enrofloxacin (92%?±?6%), sulfamethazine (130%?±?21%), sulfadiazine (89%?±?20%) and streptomycin (93%?±?4%).

Nanoporous gold (NPG) was utilized as a support for immobilizing alkaline phosphatase (ALP) conjugated to monoclonal antibodies against either prostate specific antigen (PSA) or carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). The antibody-ALP conjugates were coupled to self-assembled monolayers of lipoic acid and used in direct kinetic assays. Using the enzyme substrate p-aminophenylphosphate, the product p-aminophenol was detected by its oxidation near 0.1?V (vs. Ag|AgCl) using square wave voltammetry. The difference in peak current arising from oxidation of p-aminophenol before and after incubation with biomarker increased with biomarker concentration. The response to these two biomarkers was linear up to 10?ng mL?1 for CEA and up to 30?ng mL?1 for PSA. The effect of interference on the PSA assay was studied using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a model albumin protein. The effect of interference from a serum matrix was examined for the PSA assay using newborn calf serum. A competitive version of the immunoassay using antigen immobilized onto the NPG surface was highly sensitive at lower antigen concentration. Estimates of the surface coverage of the antibody-ALP conjugates on the NPG surface are presented. Figure

We report on a novel electrochemiluminescent (ECL) immunoassay for the ultrasensitive determination of morphine by making use of a gold electrode which was modified with a nanocomposite film containing self-assembled polyamidoamine (PAMAM) CdS quantum dots and electrodeposited gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs). The highly uniform and well-dispersed quantum dots were capped with PAMAM dendrimers. Due to the synergistic effect of the modified quantum dots and the electrodeposited Au-NPs, the ECL response is dramatically enhanced. Under optimal experimental conditions, the immunoreaction between morphine and anti-morphine antibody resulted in a decrease of the ECL signal because of steric hindrance. The calibration plot is linear in the morphine concentration range from 0.2 to 180 ng?mL?1, with a detection limit as low as 67 pg?mL?1. The sensor was successfully applied to the determination of morphine in blood plasma. This kind of assay is expected to pave new avenues in label-free drug assays. Figure

A multiplexed assay strategy was developed for the detection of nucleic acid hybridization. It is based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and multi-sized quantum dots (QDs) deposited on the surface of silica photonic crystal beads (SPCBs). The SPCBs were first coated with a three-layer primer film formed by the alternating adsorption of poly(allylamine hydrochloride) and poly(sodium 4-styrensulfonate). Probe DNA sequences were then covalently attached to the carboxy groups at the surface of the QD-coated SPCBs. On addition of DNA-AuNPs and hybridization, the fluorescence of the donor QDs is quenched because of the close proximity of the AuNPs. However, the addition of target DNA causes a recovery of the fluorescence of the QD-coated SPCBs, thus enabling the quantitative assay of hybridized DNA. Compared to fluorescent dyes acting as acceptors, the use of AuNPs results in much higher quenching efficiency. The multiplexed assay displays a wide linear range, high sensitivity, and very little cross-reactivity. This work, where such SPCBs are used for the first time in a FRET assay, is deemed to present a new and viable approach towards high-throughput multiplexed gene assays. Figure

Specific and sensitive analysis to reveal and monitor the wide variety of chemical contaminants polluting all environment compartments, feed, and food is urgently required because of the increasing attention devoted to the environment and health protection. Our research group has been involved in monitoring the presence and distribution of agrochemicals by monitoring beehives distributed throughout the area studied. Honeybees have been used both as biosensors, because the pesticides affect their viability, and as “contaminant collectors” for all environmental pollutants. We focused our research on the development of analytical procedures able to reveal and quantify pesticides in different samples but with a special attention to the complex honeybee matrix. Specific extraction and purification procedures have been developed and some are still under optimization. The analytes of interest were determined by gas or liquid chromatographic methods and by compound-specific or group-specific immunoassays in the ELISA format, the analytical performance of which was improved by introducing luminescence detection. The range of chemiluminescent immunoassays developed was extended to include the determination of completely different pollutants, for example explosives, volatile organic compounds (including benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes), and components of plastics, for example bisphenol A. An easier and portable format, a lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) was added to the ELISA format to increase application flexibility in these assays. Aspects of the novelty, the specific characteristics, the analytical performance, and possible future development of the different chromatographic and immunological methods are described and discussed.

We have made a comparison of (a) different surface chemistries of SPR sensor chips (such as carboxymethylated dextran and carboxymethylated C1) and (b) of different assay formats (direct, sandwich and subtractive immunoassay) in order to improve the sensitivity of the determination of the model bacteria Acidovorax avenae subsp. citrulli (Aac). The use of the carboxymethylated sensor chip C1 resulted in a better sensitivity than that of carboxymethylated dextran CM5 in all the assay formats. The direct assay format, in turn, exhibits the best sensitivity. Thus, the combination of a carboxymethylated sensor chip C1 with the direct assay format resulted in the highest sensitivity for Aac, with a limit of detection of 1.6?×?106 CFU mL-1. This SPR immunosensor was applied to the detection of Aac in watermelon leaf extracts spiked with the bacteria, and the lower LOD is 2.2?×?107 CFU mL?1. Figure

We report on an ultrasensitive fluorescence immunoassay for human chorionic gonadotrophin antigen (hCG). It is based on the use of silica nanoparticles coated with a copolymer (prepared from a fluorene, a phenylenediamine, and divinylbenzene; PF@SiO2) that acts as a fluorescent label for the secondary monoclonal antibody to β-hCG antigen. In parallel, Fe3O4 nanoparticles were coated with polyaniline, and these magnetic particles (Fe3O4@PANI) served as a solid support for the primary monoclonal antibody to β-hCG antigen. The PF@SiO2 exhibited strong fluorescence and good dispersibility in water. A fluorescence sandwich immunoassay was developed that enables hCG concentrations to be determined in the 0.01–100 ng·mL?1 concentration range, with a detection limit of 3 pg·mL?1. Figure

Natural toxin (for example mycotoxin and phycotoxin) contamination of food is of safety and economic concern, so much effort is devoted to the development of screening methods which enable the toxins to be continuously and widely monitored in food and feed. More generally speaking, rapid and non-instrumental assays for detection of a variety of food contaminants are generating ever-increasing scientific and technological interest because they enable high-throughput, economical, on-site monitoring of such contaminants. Among rapid methods for first-level screening of food contaminants, lateral-flow immunoassay (LFIA), also named immunochromatographic assay or immune-gold colloid immunoassay, has recently attracted scientific and industrial interest because of its attractive property of enabling very rapid, one-step, in-situ analysis. This review focuses on new aspects of the development and optimization of lateral-flow devices for mycotoxin and phycotoxin detection, including strategies for management of matrix interference and, particularly, for investigation of the improvements achieved by signal-enhancing strategies or by application of non-gold nanoparticle signal reporters. Figure 1

Quantitating explosive materials at trace concentrations in real-time on-site within the marine environment may prove critical to protecting civilians, waterways, and military personnel during this era of increased threat of widespread terroristic activity. Presented herein are results from recent field trials that demonstrate detection and quantitation of small nitroaromatic molecules using novel high-throughput microfluidic immunosensors (HTMI) to perform displacement-based immunoassays onboard a HYDROID REMUS100 autonomous underwater vehicle. Missions were conducted 2–3 m above the sea floor, and no HTMI failures were observed due to clogging from biomass infiltration. Additionally, no device leaks were observed during the trials. HTMIs maintained immunoassay functionality during 2 h deployments, while continuously sampling seawater absent without any pretreatment at a flow rate of 2 mL/min. This 20-fold increase in the nominal flow rate of the assay resulted in an order of magnitude reduction in both lag and assay times. Contaminated seawater that contained 20–175 ppb trinitrotoluene was analyzed. Figure

We report on a new kind of electrochemical immunosensors for simultaneous determination of the biomarkers carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). Thionine and ferrocene were applied as distinguishable electrochemical tags (and mediators) which were covalently conjugated on anti-AFP and anti-CEA antibodies, respectively, via carboxy groups. The resulting conjugates were co-immobilized on a glassy carbon electrode functionalized with gold nanoparticles. Finally, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was immobilized onto the modified electrode. Labeled thionine and ferrocene, respectively, act as distinguishable tags for simultaneous determination of AFP and CEA due to the difference in the location of their voltammetric peaks. With a one-step immunoassay format, the analytes in the sample produced transparent immunoaffinity reaction with the corresponding antibodies on the electrode. Once the immunocomplex is formed, it partially inhibits the active center of the immobilized HRP, and this decreased the activity of HRP in terms of reduction of hydrogen peroxide. This immunosensor enables the simultaneous determination of AFP and CEA in a single run and within the same dynamic range (0.01–50?ng?mL?1) and the same lower detection limit (0.01?ng?mL?1). The reproducibility and stability of the immunosensors are acceptable. The dual immunosensor was applied to evaluate several specimens, and the assay results are in acceptable agreement with clinical data. Figure
This contribution devises a novel multiplexed electrochemical immunoassay for simultaneous detection of alpha-fetoprotein and carcinoembryonic antigen by using thionine and ferrocene as distinguishable signal tags on a one-spot immunosensor. The assay was performed by using one-step immunoreaction between the immobilized antibodies and the analytes. Although the linear range is relatively narrow, it completely meets the requirement of clinical diagnosis. 相似文献

Biomarker assays may be useful for screening and diagnosis of cancer if a set of molecular markers can be quantified and statistically differentiated between cancerous cells and healthy cells. Markers of disease are often present at very low concentrations, so methods capable of low detection limits are required. Quantum dots (QDs) are nanoparticles that are emerging as promising probes for ultrasensitive detection of cancer biomarkers. QDs attached to antibodies, aptamers, oligonucleotides, or peptides can be used to target cancer markers. Their fluorescent properties have enabled QDs to be used as labels for in-vitro assays to quantify biomarkers, and they have been investigated as in-vivo imaging agents. QDs can be used as donors in assays involving fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), or as acceptors in bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET). The nanoparticles are also capable of electrochemical detection and are potentially useful for “lab-on-a-chip” applications. Recent developments in silicon QDs, non-blinking QDs, and QDs with reduced-size and controlled-valence further make these QDs bioanalytically attractive because of their low toxicity, biocompatibility, high quantum yields, and diverse surface modification flexibility. The potential of multiplexed sensing using QDs with different wavelengths of emission is promising for simultaneous detection of multiple biomarkers of disease. Figure

An isothermal cross-priming amplification (CPA) assay for Agrobacterium tumefaciens nopaline synthase terminator (T-Nos) was established and investigated in this work. A set of six specific primers, recognizing eight distinct regions on the T-Nos sequence, was designed. The CPA assay was performed at a constant temperature, 63 °C, and detected by real-time fluorescence. The results indicated that real-time fluorescent CPA had high specificity, and the limit of detection was 1.06?×?103 copies of rice genomic DNA, which could be detected in 40 min. Comparison of real-time fluorescent CPA and conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was also performed. Results revealed that real-time fluorescent CPA had a comparable sensitivity to conventional real-time PCR and had taken a shorter time. In addition, different contents of genetically modified (GM)-contaminated rice seed powder samples were detected for practical application. The result showed real-time fluorescent CPA could detect 0.5 % GM-contaminated samples at least, and the whole reaction could be finished in 35 min. Real-time fluorescent CPA is sensitive enough to monitor labeling systems and provides an attractive method for the detection of GMO. Figure

We report on a fluorescent assay for oxytetracycline (OTC) using a fluorescein-labeled long-chain aptamer assembled onto reduced graphene oxide (rGO). The π-π stacking interaction between aptamer and rGO causes the fluorescence of the label to be almost completely quenched via energy transfer so that the system has very low background fluorescence. The addition of OTC leads to the formation of G-quadruplex OTC complexes and prevents the adsorption of labeled aptamer on the surface of rGO. As a result, fluorescence is restored, and this effect allows for a quantitative assay of OTC over the 0.1–2 μM concentration range and with a detection limit of 10 nM. This method is simple, rapid, selective and sensitive. It may be applied to other small molecule analytes by applying appropriate aptamers. Figure

O-sulfotransferases (OSTs) are critical enzymes in the cellular biosynthesis of the biologically and pharmacologically important heparan sulfate and heparin. Recently, these enzymes have been cloned and expressed in bacteria for application in the chemoenzymatic synthesis of glycosaminoglycan-based drugs. OST activity assays have largely relied on the use of radioisotopic methods using [35S] 3′-phosphoadenosine-5′-phosphosulfate and scintillation counting. Herein, we examine alternative assays that are more compatible with a biomanufacturing environment. A high throughput microtiter-based approach is reported that relies on a coupled bienzymic colorimetric assay for heparan sulfate and heparin OSTs acting on polysaccharide substrates using arylsulfotransferase-IV and p-nitrophenylsulfate as a sacrificial sulfogroup donor. A second liquid chromatography-mass spectrometric assay, for heparan sulfate and heparin OSTs acting on structurally defined oligosaccharide substrates, is also reported that provides additional information on the number and positions of the transferred sulfo groups within the product. Together, these assays allow quantitative and mechanistic information to be obtained on OSTs that act on heparan sulfate and heparin precursors. Figure
