A tripod ligand as new sensitiser for the enzyme amplified lanthanide luminescence determination of esterase

Screening of a small library of tripod ligands resulted in the discovery of bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-(2-hydroxybenzyl)amine (HL1) as a new sensitiser, which is able to transfer its excitation energy to terbium(III). After synthesis of the acetic acid ester of HL1, a highly selective method for the determination of porcine liver esterase by means of enzyme amplified lanthanide luminescence (EALL) was developed. Enzyme-catalysed cleavage of the ester results in the formation of HL1. After excitation at 297 nm, the characteristic emission of Tb(III) at 545 nm is observed and used to determine the esterase concentration. In contrast to existing EALL methods, this method may be carried out at neutral pH and without further additives. Limit of detection for porcine liver esterase is 10(-9) mol l(-1) and limit of quantification is 3 x 10(-9) mol l(-1). A linear calibration range of two decades starting at the limit of quantification is observed.     

Detection strategies for bioassays based on luminescent lanthanide complexes and signal amplification

Two attractive detection strategies for bioassays are reviewed in this article. Both approaches use the highly sensitive time-resolved luminescence detection of lanthanide complexes in combination with a signal amplification scheme. While enzyme-amplified lanthanide luminescence (EALL) has been an established technique for more than a decade, nanoparticles doped with luminescent lanthanide complexes have been introduced very recently. In this paper, the basic properties and major applications of both techniques are presented, and their future perspectives are discussed critically.     

Detection scheme for bioassays based on 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid derivatives and enzyme-amplified lanthanide luminescence

2,6-Pyridinedicarboxylic acid (PDC) and its derivatives are introduced as a new sensitizer system for enzyme-amplified lanthanide luminescence (EALL), a detection scheme for bioassays, which combines enzymatic amplification with time-resolved luminescence measurements of lanthanide chelates. Various PDC esters have been synthesized as esterase substrates that are cleaved to PDC in the presence of the enzyme. PDC forms luminescent complexes with Tb(III) or Eu(III), and the evaluation of the reaction is used for the selective and sensitive detection of esterases. For an esterase from hog liver a limit of detection of 10⁻³ u/mL (equivalent to 10⁻⁹ mol/L) and a limit of quantification of 3 × 10⁻³ u/mL (equivalent to 3 × 10⁻⁹ mol/L) could be achieved. As a second model reaction, xanthine oxidase (XOD) catalyzes the oxidation of 2,6-pyridinedicarboxaldehyde to PDC. Here, the limit of detection was 3 × 10⁻³ u/mL and the limit of quantification 10⁻² u/mL for XOD from microorganisms. Major advantage of the tridentate PDC ligand is the possibility to perform all steps of the assay within or close to the physiological pH range, while the established EALL schemes based on bidentate salicylates or bisphenols have to be carried out at strongly alkaline pH to ensure sufficient complexation with the lanthanides.     

Electrochemical ELISA for the detection of cucumber mosaic virus using o-pheneylenediamine as substrate

A sensitive electrochemical enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the determination of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) was proposed in this paper. The activity of labeled enzyme, horseradish peroxidase, was measured with electrochemical methods using o-phenylenediamine as substrate. The enzymatic reaction product is 2,3-diaminophenazine, which can be easily reduced on the dropping mercury electrode with improved sensitivity. Coupled with the plate trapped antigen indirect ELISA format using polyclonal rabbit antibody of CMV, the electrochemical detection was performed for CMV with the detection limit of 0.5 ng ml⁻¹, which is ten times more sensitive than the colorimetric ELISA method. The conditions for enzymatic reaction and immunoassay were carefully optimized.     

Development of a Capillary Electrophoresis-Based Enzyme Immunoassay with Electrochemical Detection for the Determination of Okadaic Acid and Dinophysistoxin2 in Shellfish Samples

A capillary electrophoresis-based enzyme immunoassay (CE-EIA) with electrochemical (EC) detection system was developed for the determination of two diarrheic shellfish poisoning (DSP) toxins okadaic acid (OA) and dinophysistoxin2 (DTX2). In this method, after the competitive immunoreaction in liquid phase, the horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled antigen (Ag*) and the bound enzyme-labeled complex (Ag*-Ab) were separated and then the system of HRP catalyzing H₂O₂/o-aminophenol (OAP) reaction was adopted. The limit of detection (S/N = 3) was determined to be 0.05 and 0.07 ng/mL for OA and DTX2, respectively. The total analysis time was less than 40 min. The developed CE-EIA with EC detection system was capable of quantitatively detecting OA and DTX2 contents in the tested contaminated samples, and the results were compared with the same samples analyzed through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Consistent results between CE-EIA with EC detection and ELISA were found in most of the tested samples. The proposed system appeared to be more sensitive and faster than ELISA for determination of OA and DTX2 in shellfish meat extracts. Real shellfish samples were validated in recovery test, and the recoveries tested by the proposed method were 91.7–108.3% and 95.2–112.5% for OA and DTX2, respectively. The CE-EIA with EC detection provides a valid and sensitive analytical approach, not previously available, for the determination of OA and DTX2 in shellfish samples.     

Determination of Estradiol by Biotin‐Avidin‐Amplified Electrochemical Enzyme Immunoassay

Abstract

A simple, sensitive biotin‐avidin‐amplified electrochemical enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the determination of estradiol (E₂) was proposed in this paper. The complex of biotinylated anti‐E₂ antibody and horseradish peroxidase‐labeled avidin (HRP‐avidin) were regarded as a probe in this system. The activity of labeled enzyme was measured with electrochemical methods using o‐phenylenediamine as substrate. Coupled with the plate‐coated antigen, indirect ELISA format using E₂‐ovalbumin, the electrochemical detection was performed for E₂ with the detection limit of 21.0 pg/ml, and the linear range of determination of 50.0–500.0 pg/ml. The proposed method has been used for the determination of E₂ in river water with satisfactory results. Compared with the traditionally spectrophotometric ELISA detection, this method shows greatly heightened sensitivity. The limit of detection improved by about two orders of magnitude, which is very suitable for the conditions with extremely low concentration of analyte or very small volumes of sample present.     

Production of antibodies and development of highly sensitive formats of enzyme immunoassay for saxitoxin analysis

In this paper the production of antibodies against saxitoxin (STX) is described, as is the optimization and comparison of two competitive ELISA formats (direct and indirect) for the detection of this toxin. Tests were performed in a 96-well microplate using the toxin-specific polyclonal antibodies produced in our laboratory, obtained from rabbits immunized with saxitoxin-keyhole limpet hemocyanin (STX-KLH). In indirect ELISA format saxitoxin, conjugated to bovine serum albumin (STX-BSA) was coated onto the microtitre plate and incubated with standard toxin and anti-STX antibody. A goat anti-rabbit IgG Peroxidase conjugate was used to enable detection. In the direct ELISA format, STX standard, STX conjugate to horseradish peroxidase (STX-HRP), and enzyme substrate/chromogen solution were sequentially added to the microplate after antibody coating.Results showed the saxitoxin detection limit to be 3 and 10 pg mL(-1) for direct and indirect ELISA formats, respectively.The suitability of the assay for quantification of saxitoxin in mussels was also studied. Samples were spiked with saxitoxin before and after sample treatment to study the extraction efficiency and matrix effect, respectively. After treatment, samples were analysed at 1:1000 v/v dilution in PBS to minimize the matrix effect and to detect the regulatory limit of 40-80 micro g saxitoxin per 100 g mussels as stipulated by the Food and Drug Administration. The efficiency of extraction of saxitoxin was from 72 to 102%. These data were confirmed by liquid chromatography coupled with fluorimetric detection, the technique currently used for quantitative determination of toxins in seafood.     

Comparison of Electrochemical and Spectro-Photometric Detection in Hrp-Based Elisa for Tobacco Mosaic Virus

ABSTRACT

An electrochemical method was compared with a spectrophotometric method using a horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-based indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with direct antigen coating (DAC) technique for the determination of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). In substrates for a spectrophotometric HRP-based ELISA method, was selected as the substrate for the electrochemical method as well as the spectrophotometric method. 2, 3-Diaminophenazine is the product of the oxidation of OPD with H₂O₂ catalyzed by HRP in the selected conditions. It is electroactive and has a sensitive voltammetric response at -0.93 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) in alkaline solution. The detection limit of free HRP, by second-order derivative linear-sweep voltammetry, is 1.1 mU/L. This method can be further used to detect TMV antigen. The peak current is linear with TMV concentration in the range of 0.25-5.0 ng/mL. The detection limit for TMV is 0.25 ng/mL and the highest dilution ratio detected for the infected leaf sap is 1:102400. Compared with the classical OPD ELISA spectrophotometric method, the detection limits of the electrochemical method for the clarified TMV and the infected leaf sap detection are about ten and four times lower, respectively.     

Immunochemical Detection of Microquantities of Bacterial Formate Dehydrogenase

Abstract

Two immunochemical methods were developed for detection of NAD⁺?dependent formate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.2, FDH) isolated from the methylotrophic bacteria Pseudomonas sp. 101:1) the dot-blot analysis using rabbit polyclonal antibodies; and 2) the indirect competitive ELISA using poly- or monoclonal mouse antibodies. The first method was used for screening the bacterial gene bank, the sensitivity is 5 and 1 pg enzyme per sample using the anti-rabbit antibodies - horse radish peroxidase conjugate or the biotinylated anti-rabbit antibodies and avidin - peroxidase conjugate, respectively. The second method was applied for precise determination of FDH concentration in cell-free extracts of selected recombinant clones. Mouse polyclonal antibodies to bacterial FDH have exibited a rather high affinity binding also to FDH from the methylotrophic yeast Candida methylica. In the indirect competitive ELISA the sensitivity of bacterial FDH determination is 1 ng per sample.     

Biofunctionalized dendritic polyaniline nanofibers for sensitive electrochemical immunoassay of biomarkers

Multi-armed dendritic polyaniline nanofibers (MPANFs) were first synthesized and functionalized with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and carcinoembryonic antibody (anti-CEA) for highly efficient electrochemical immunoassay of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA, as a model analyte here) in this work. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) techniques were employed to characterize the synthesized MPANFs. By using anti-CEA-conjugated core-shell gold-Fe(3)O(4) nanocomposites (GoldMag) as immunosensing probes and biofunctionalized MPANFs as molecular tags, a new sandwich-type homogeneous immunoassay strategy was developed for the determination of CEA by coupling with a home-made flow-through magneto-controlled microfluidic device. Under optimal conditions, the electrochemical immunoassay exhibited a wide dynamic range of four orders of magnitude from 1.0 pg mL(-1) to 50 ng mL(-1) with a low detection limit of 0.1 pg mL(-1) CEA at 3σ. Intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation were below 10%. The assayed results for clinical serum specimens with the electrochemical immunoassay were received in good accordance with the results obtained from the referenced enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method.     

Gold Electrodes for Detection of Enzyme Assays with 3‐Indoxylphosphate as Substrate

The advantageous characteristics of gold not only for its electrochemical behavior but also for the unique adsorptive protein characteristics are the basis of this paper. 3‐Indoxyl phosphate (3‐IP) has previously been demonstrated to be a very convenient substrate for the electrochemical detection, using carbon‐based electrodes, of enzymeimmunoassays (EIAs) that employ not only alkaline phosphatase (AP) but also horseradish peroxidase (HRP) as label. Combination of both: gold electrodes and 3‐IP has not been studied and it produces a very suitable detection for EIAs. The electrochemical behavior of indigo, product of the enzymatic hydrolisis of 3‐IP, has been thoroughly studied for the first time on disk and band gold electrodes. The possibility of electrodepositing gold on the bands and automation has also been considered. The detection has been applied for the determination of osteocalcin with an HRP‐based ELISA (enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay).     

Reaction monitoring of enzyme-catalyzed ester cleavage by time-resolved fluorescence and electrospray mass spectrometry: method development and comparison

Two complementary methods for reaction monitoring of the esterase-catalyzed cleavage of bis(2-pyridylmethyl)(2-acetoxyphenyl)amine are developed and compared. While enzyme-amplified lanthanide luminescence (EALL) allows for the time-resolved fluorescence determination of the intrinsically non-fluorescent product, both substrate and product of the enzymatic reaction may be determined simultaneously by electrospray mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Excitation wavelength for the Tb(III) complex of the reaction product is 297 nm and emission was detected at 545 nm, which is the characteristic emission wavelength of the terbium(III) ion. In contrast to other EALL techniques, the presented method allows for the direct monitoring of an enzymatic conversion without any further sample preparation (e.g., rebuffering). For the mass spectrometric measurements the mass traces were set to m/z=306, 328, 348, and 370 for the protonated ester, the resulting phenol and their sodium adducts, respectively.

Ultrasensitive and accelerated detection of ciguatoxin by capillary electrophoresis via on-line sandwich immunoassay with rotating magnetic field and nanoparticles signal enhancement

A sensitive and rapid on-line immunoassay for the determination of ciguatoxin CTX3C was developed based on a capillary mixing system, which was integrated with capillary electrophoresis (CE) separation and electrochemical (EC) detection. In the sandwich immunoassay system, anti-CTX3C-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles were used as immunosensing probes, and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and anti-CTX3C antibody were bound onto the surface of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and used as recognition elements. Online formation of immunocomplex was realized in capillary inlet end with an external rotating magnetic field. Compared with classical HPLC-MS and ELISA, the assay adopting AuNPs as multienzyme carriers and online sandwich immunoassay format with rotating magnetic field exhibited higher sensitivity and shorter assay time. The linear range of the assay for CTX3C was from 0.6 to 150 ng/L with a correlation coefficient of 0.9948 (n = 2), and the detection limit (S/N = 3) was 0.09 ng/L. The developed assay showed satisfying reproducibility and stability, and it was successfully applied for the quantification of CTX3C in fish samples.     

Determination of Total PSA Using Magnetic Beads and a Re‐usable Screen Printed Carbon Electrode Array

A total PSA (tPSA) assay using magnetic beads (1 µm) and a re‐usable 8‐channel screen printed electrochemical array is here reported. The reaction scheme is based on a one step sandwich assay. The linear range obtained is comprised between 5 and 100 ng/mL of tPSA and have a limit of detection of 1.86 ng/mL. This methodology was validated, performing determination of tPSA in serum and the results were compared with a commercial ELISA kit.     

A novel method for time-resolved fluorimetric determination and imaging of the activity of peroxidase, and its application to an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay

A new type of fluorescence assay for the determination of peroxidase (POx) activity is presented. The assay is based on the indication of the enzymatic consumption of H(2)O(2) (HP), using a fluorescent europium-tetracycline (Eu(3)TC) complex as indicator. On addition of HP, this complex forms a highly fluorescent adduct (Eu(3)TC-HP), which is decomposed in the presence of POx to form the weakly fluorescent europium-tetracycline (Eu(3)TC). Hence, the activity of the enzyme can be directly determined by means of the luminescent Eu(3)TC complex as indicator. The POx assay demonstrated herein was elaborated starting from a spectral characterization of the complex systems involved. Due to the long lifetime of lanthanide luminescence, both steady-state and time-resolved luminescence assays can easily be performed. The time-resolved assay can quantify POx in the range from 4.0 x 10(-5) to 5.9 x 10(-3) U mL(-1), with a limit of detection of 1.0 x 10(-5) U mL(-1). The effects of POx inhibitors such as cyanide, hydroxylamine, and azide have also been studied. In addition, a time-resolved fluorescent detection method for a POx-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been developed, which is demonstrated in a sandwich model assay with bovine IgG serving as analyte. Furthermore, a time-resolved fluorescent imaging method is demonstrated that makes use of a straightforward imaging set-up adjusted to the optical properties of the europium reagent.     

Polarographic Enzyme-Immunoassay for Trace Hepatitis B Surface Antigen

Abstract

A polarographic enzyme-immunoassay for Hepatitis B Surface Antigen(HBsAg) has been established, in which horseradish peroxidase(HRP) is used as the labeled enzyme, o-phenylenediamine(OPD) as the substrate, and the enzyme-generated product,2,2′-diaminoazobenzene (DAA). is detected by linear-potential scan polarography. Under optimal conditions, the second derivative current of DAA is linear with the concentration of HBsAg from 0.1 to 5 ng/mL. The correlation coefficient(r) is 0.9994. The detection limit is 0.05ng/mL and the relative standard deviation is 6.7%(8 replicates). The sensitivity of the assay is about 20-fold higher than that of ELISA. The assay has been successfully applied for minute determination of HBsAg in both human serum and the negative control serum from ELISA kits.     

Immunoassay based on peroxidase silver conjugate for the determination of human immunoglobulins against tick-borne borreliosis (lyme disease) by voltammetry and spectrophotometry

In this work two strategies for the synthesis of peroxidase silver conjugates for the qualitative and quantitative determination of immunoglobulins (IgG) to ixodid tick-borne borreliosis (ITBB) (Lyme disease) in human serum were proposed. The first approach for Ab-HRP@AgNP conjugate synthesis involved silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) capped with a commercial peroxidase conjugate (Ab-HRP) by passive adsorption. The second strategy was based on the initial coupling of Ag NPs with human anti-species antibodies (Ab) by passive adsorption followed by the introduction of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) enzyme into the reaction mixture as a blocking reagent for Ab@AgNP@HRP conjugate synthesis. The formation of peroxidase silver conjugates was proved by UV/Vis spectroscopy and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The catalytic activity of Ab-HRP@AgNP and Ab@AgNP@HRP conjugates was evaluated by Michaelis-Menten kinetics. A commercially available 96-well microtiter plate with recombinant antigens to ITBB was used as a platform for immobilization of analyzed IgG. The HRP in Ab-HRP@AgNP conjugate was found to retain a sufficient level of activity for interaction with the H₂O₂ substrate to form an intensely colored reaction product. Therefore Ab-HRP@AgNP conjugate can be used in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with spectrophotometric detection of 3,3’,5,5’-Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB Ox) for quantitative determination of IgG to ITBB in human serum in the concentration range 12.5–800 ng ml⁻¹ with LOD 2 ng ml⁻¹. Ab@AgNP@HRP conjugate is recommended for the electrochemical determination of IgG to ITBB in human serum at LOD 3 ng ml⁻¹ with registration of silver oxidation by linear sweep anodic stripping voltammetry (LSASV). Ag NPs in Ab-HRP@AgNP and Ab@AgNP@HRP conjugates do not change electrochemical activity during storage and can be used as an electrochemical label in LSASV method in case of HRP inactivation. The immunoassay based on peroxidase silver conjugates expands the analytical potential for the determination of IgG to ITBB especially during the period of increasing incidence.
