Novel Enzyme-Linked Aptamer Assay for the Determination of Aflatoxin B1 in Peanuts

Abstract

A novel enzyme-linked aptamer assay is reported for the determination of aflatoxin B₁ (AFB₁). AFB₁ can competitively bind with the immobilized biotin-aptamer and release biotin complementary DNA, leading to the gradual fading of the detection system color with increasing of AFB₁ concentration. In the absence of AFB₁, the biotinylated complementary DNA is not be released from the fixed aptamer. Therefore, the enzyme reaction occurs in the detection system. Under the optimized experimental conditions, the proposed method possessed a wide linear range for AFB₁ from 1 to 80?ng/mL (R² of 0.990) with a low detection limit of 0.36?ng/mL. The method was then applied to detect uncontaminated peanuts fortified with different concentrations of AFB₁. The recovery values were from 82.60% to 94.43%, which indicated the proposed method may be used to detect AFB₁ in food and has potential for the development of test kits.

A Label-Free Fluorescence Aptasensor Based on G-Quadruplex/Thioflavin T Complex for the Detection of Trypsin

A novel, label-free fluorescent assay has been developed for the detection of trypsin by using thioflavin T as a fluorescent probe. A specific DNA aptamer can be combined by adding cytochrome c. Trypsin hydrolyzes the cytochrome c into small peptide fragments, exposing the G-quadruplex part of DNA aptamer, which has a high affinity for thioflavin T, which then enhances the fluorescence intensity. In the absence of trypsin, the fluorescence intensity was inhibited as the combination of cytochrome c and the DNA aptamer impeded thioflavin T’s binding. Thus, the fluorescent biosensor showed a linear relationship from 0.2 to 60 μg/mL with a detection limit of 0.2 μg/mL. Furthermore, the proposed method was also successfully employed for determining trypsin in biological samples. This method is simple, rapid, cheap, and selective and possesses great potential for the detection of trypsin in bioanalytical and biological samples and medical diagnoses.     

Voltammetric Determination of Aflatoxin B1

For the first time the possibility of voltammetry used for the determination of aflatoxin B1 on a glassy carbon electrode was shown. The effect of pH of a supporting electrolyte on the analytical signal of aflatoxin B1 has been investigated and it was shown that there is a more pronounced peak with a maximum current at pH of 5.33. The most favorable supporting electrolyte for a linear range of detectable concentrations of aflatoxin B1 – 0.1 M (NH₄)₂SO₄ was determined. The results of research on the development of conditions of voltammetric measurement of aflatoxin B1 are presented.     

Electrochemical Immunosensor Made with Zein-based Nanofibers for On-site Detection of Aflatoxin B1

A disposable electrochemical immunosensor for on-site detection of aflatoxin B1(AFB1), one of the most toxic mycotoxins in agri-food products, was fabricated through a low-cost cut-printing method and then modified with zein/polypyrrole(PPy) electrospun nanofibers onto which anti-AFB1 monoclonal antibodies were immobilized covalently. Fabrication was possible with an innovative and simple approach to adsorb nanofibers onto the working electrode during electrospinning. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was employed as the principle of detection, and the data collected with a portable potentiostat were treated with information visualization techniques. The nanostructured immunosensor showed a high sensitivity for AFB1 with a linear detection range from 0.25 to 10 ng mL⁻¹ and a theoretical limit of detection of 0.092 ng mL⁻¹, which is adequate to detect AFB1 in food, according to regulatory agencies.     

Disposable Electrochemical Aptasensor for Ultrasensitive Determination of Aflatoxin B1 Using Copper Nanoparticles as Probes

An electrochemical aptasensor for aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) detection was constructed based on the copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) and gold nanoflowers modified screen-printed carbon electrodes as electrochemical probes and substrates, respectively. In the range of 100 aM to 100 pM, a good linear relationship between oxidation peak current of CuNPs and concentration of AFB1 was obtained. The high sensitivity could be ascribed to the amplified electrochemical signals by CuNPs. The high affinity of AFB1 with aptamer endowed its high selectivity. The above advantages and disposable traits made this aptasensor as an ideal platform for evaluation of AFB1 level in food samples.     

Electrochemical Aptasensor Based on Polycarboxylic Macrocycle Modified with Neutral Red for Aflatoxin B1 Detection

Novel electrochemical aptasensors based on glassy carbon electrodes modified with electropolymerized Neutral red and polycarboxylated macrocyclic ligands onto which the DNA aptamers were covalently attached have been developed for detection of Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). The interaction with an analyte resulted in the decrease of the cathodic peak current of the probe measured by CV and in the increase of the electron transfer resistance determined by EIS. The limit of detection was found to be 0.1 nM for CV and 0.05 nM for EIS methods, respectively. The aptasensor makes it possible to detect AFB1 in peanuts, cashew nuts, white wine and soy sauce with a recovery of 85–100 %.     

Development of a Lateral Flow Strip with a Positive Readout for the On-Site Detection of Aflatoxin B1

Aflatoxin B₁ is one of the contamination indicators for food safety monitoring. The rapid and effective assessment and determination of AFB₁ in food is of great importance to dietary safety. The lateral flow assay shows advantages in its simplicity, and rapidity, and provides a visual readout, while the available lateral flow assay for AFB₁ requires a competitive format that produces readings inversely proportional to the AFB₁ concentration, which is counterintuitive and may lead to a potential misinterpretation of the results. Herein, we developed a positive readout aptamer-based lateral flow strip (Apt-strip) for the detection of AFB₁. This Apt-strip relies on the competition between AFB₁ and fluorescein-labeled complementary DNA strands (FAM-cDNA) for affinity binding to limited aptamers against AFB₁ (AFB₁-Apt). In the absence of AFB₁, AFB₁-Apt hybridizes with FAM-cDNA. No signal at the T-line of the Apt-strip was observed. In contrast, AFB₁-Apt binds to AFB₁ in the sample, and then a part of the FAM-cDNA is hybridized with the free AFB₁-Apt, at which time the other unreacted FAM-cDNA is captured by A35-Apt on the T-line. The signal was observed. This method achieved fast detection of AFB₁ with a detection limit (DL) of 0.1 ng/mL, positive readout, and increased sensitivity.

Using the Intrinsic Fluorescence of DNA to Characterize Aptamer Binding

The reliable, readily accessible and label-free measurement of aptamer binding remains a challenge in the field. Recent reports have shown large changes in the intrinsic fluorescence of DNA upon the formation of G-quadruplex and i-motif structures. In this work, we examined whether DNA intrinsic fluorescence can be used for studying aptamer binding. First, DNA hybridization resulted in a drop in the fluorescence, which was observed for A30/T30 and a 24-mer random DNA sequence. Next, a series of DNA aptamers were studied. Cortisol and Hg²⁺ induced fluorescence increases for their respective aptamers. For the cortisol aptamer, the length of the terminal stem needs to be short to produce a fluorescence change. However, caffeine and adenosine failed to produce a fluorescence change, regardless of the stem length. Overall, using the intrinsic fluorescence of DNA may be a reliable and accessible method to study a limited number of aptamers that can produce fluorescence changes.     

Electrochemical Aptasensor with Layer‐by‐layer Deposited Polyaniline for Aflatoxin M1 Voltammetric Determination

Mycotoxins are highly toxic metabolites of some fungi that frequently contaminate water, food and feed and hence cause several human and animal diseases. In this work, a new approach to the fast and reliable determination of aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) in water and milk has been proposed with reagent free protocol of signal measurement. For this purpose, DNA aptamer selective to AFM1 was entrapped between two thin layers of polyaniline (PANI) electrodeposited on glassy carbon electrode. The incubation of the aptasensor in the AFM1 solution results in remarkable decrease of the PANI intrinsic activity monitored by direct current voltammetry or electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Appropriate calibration curves were linear in the range from 3 to 90 ng/L with limit of detection (LOD) 1–5 ng/L depending on the measurement mode. Mechanism of signal generation involves shielding electrostatic interactions between the PANI and aptamer in the surface layer and variation of its redox activity attributed to the emeraldine form of PANI. Selectivity of the response was proved by similar experiments with aflatoxin B1 and ochratoxin A and by comparison of the results with those obtained with non‐specific aptamer in the sensing layer. Simple protocol for milk pretreatment has been proposed for reliable detection of AFM1 on the level of its threshold limited values (20 ng/L).

A Simple Electrochemical Aptamer Cytosensor for Direct Detection of Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia K562 Cells

A simple and rapid electrochemical aptamer cytosensor has been developed for direct detection of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) K562 cells based on a specific aptamer and a biotin conjugated concanavalin A (bio‐ConA) detection probe. The K562 cell could be specifically recognized by T2‐KK1B10 capture aptamer pre‐immobilized on gold modified electrode surface. Then, bio‐ConA was added in the reaction to identify K562 cell surface mannose, resulting in an aptamer‐K562 cell‐bio‐ConA sandwich complex. Finally, streptavidin conjugated alkaline phosphatase (ST‐ALP) combined with the bio‐ConA to catalyze α‐naphthyl (α‐NP) phosphate to form α‐naphthol which is highly electroactive at an operating voltage of 180 mV (vs. Ag/AgCl). Under optimum conditions, the DPV signals were proportional to the logarithm of K562 cell from 1×10² to 1×10⁷ cells mL⁻¹ with a detection limit of 79 cells mL⁻¹. The cytosensor also exhibited high selectivity, stability and reproducibility. When applied to detect K562 cells in human blood samples, recoveries between 79.6 %–93.3 % were obtained, indicating the developed biosensor would be a potential alternative tool for CML K562 cell detection in real biological samples.
