Electrochemical studies of o-tilidine as a hydrogen donor substrate for peroxidase and its application in enzyme immunoassay

A highly sensitive electrochemical method is described for assay of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) using o-tilidine as substrate. Under the optimal conditions, the detection limit for HRP is 2.5 mU/l and the calibration range is from 5.0 to 1000 mU/l. The relative standard deviation of 11 measurements is 6.3% for 10.0 mU/l HRP. This new electrochemical system was further combined with an indirect enzyme immunoassay using direct antigen-coating format for the detection of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). The results show an improved sensitivity over the traditional o-phenylenediamine (OPD) spectrophotometric enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. Using this technique, a minimum detectable level of 2.0 ng/ml of purified CMV and 1:12500 dilution of CMV in infected leaf extractions can be achieved.     

An improved ELISA for the determination of southern bean mosaic virus with linear sweep voltammetry detection based on new system of PAP-H_2O_2-HRP

An improved enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the determination of southern bean mosaic virus (SBMV) with linear sweep voltammetry based on a new system of p-aminophenol (PAP)-H2O2-horseradish peroxidase (HRP) has firstly been developed.

Based on the voltammetric peak, HRP can be measured with a detection limit of 0.4 mU/L and a linear range of 1.0-1.0 × 102 mU/ L. The detection limit for the SBMV is 8.0 ng/mL and the highest dilution ratio for the detection of infected leaf sap is 1: 1.5×105.

Detection of TMV with ODA-H(2)O(2)-HRP voltammetric enzyme-linked immunoassay system

o-Dianisidine (ODA)-H₂O₂-horseradish peroxidase (HRP) voltammetric enzyme-linked immunoassay system has firstly been used for the detection of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). HRP catalyzes strongly the oxidation reaction of ODA by H₂O₂, the product of which produces a sensitive second order derivative linear sweep voltammetric peak at potential of −0.56 V (versus SCE) in Britton–Robinson (BR) buffer. HRP activity has been measured with this voltammetric peak and TMV detected through immunoreaction. The detection limit for HRP is 9.25×10^-7 mU l⁻¹ and the linear range is 2.5×10⁻⁶–5.0×10⁻⁴ mU l⁻¹. The detection limit for the clarified TMV is 0.25 ng ml⁻¹ and the highest dilution ratio detected for the infected leaf sap is 1:8×10⁵. The sensitivity for TMV detection with this method is higher than that with the enzyme-linked immunosorbent spectrophotometric assay (ELISA) using ODA-H₂O₂-HRP system. The processes of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction and the electro-reduction of the product of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction have been described.

Voltammetric determination of alkaline phosphatase and horseradish peroxidase activity using 3-indoxyl phosphate as substrate Application to enzyme immunoassay

The use of 3-indoxyl phosphate (3-IP) as an electrochemical substrate for ELISAs with voltammetric detection was investigated. Indirect measurements of alkaline phosphatase (AP) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) activity in solution were carried out. Picomolar levels of both enzymes can be detected, which enables the design of electrochemical immunoassays using this substrate. The enzymatic turnover of the substrate gives indigo blue, insoluble in aqueous solutions. This product is easily converted into its soluble parent compound, indigo carmine (IC), by addition of fuming sulphuric acid to the reaction media. IC shows a reversible voltammetric peak at the formal potential of −0.15 V (versus Ag pseudo-reference electrode) when a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) is used. The peak current of this process constitutes the analytical signal. Using this approach an ELISA assay to quantify pneumolysin (PLY, a toxin related to respiratory infections) was carried out using AP or HRP as enzymatic label. Calibration plots obtained are reported. 3-IP is demonstrated to be the first suitable substrate for the two most common enzyme labels used in immunoassays.

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.     

A capacitive biosensor for detection of staphylococcal enterotoxin B

A sensitive method for the detection of staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) using a flow-injection capacitive biosensor is presented. SEB was purified from a crude culture filtrate of Staphylococcus aureus through three chromatographic steps. The first two steps were based on ion-exchange chromatography, and the last step was carried out on a gel filtration column. The SEB recovery values after the purification stages were 88%, 74%, and 12%, respectively. A horseradish peroxidase labeled antistaphylococcal enterotoxin B was prepared by the periodate method and was further employed in a sandwich-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the determination of SEB concentrations in different samples obtained during the processing of the crude filtrate. The capacitive biosensor could detect SEB concentrations as low as 0.3 pg ml⁻¹ with a linearity ranging from 2.8 pg ml⁻¹ to 2.8 ng ml⁻¹ under optimized conditions. The response time was about 10 min. A good agreement was achieved between the developed capacitive biosensor system and ELISA as a reference method for detection of SEB levels in different purification samples. The newly developed sensor has the benefits of simplicity, high sensitivity, and multiple use capability.

The results revealed that compound 1 exhibited high anti-TMV activities with inhibition rates of 33.6%. This rate is high than that of positive control. The other compounds also showed potential activities with inhibition rates in the range of 18.8–28.4%, respectively.     

Apoferritin protein nanoparticles dually labeled with aptamer and horseradish peroxidase as a sensing probe for thrombin detection

A novel and ultrasensitive sandwich-type electrochemical aptasensor has been developed for the detection of thrombin, based on dual signal-amplification using HRP and apoferritin. Core/shell Fe₃O₄/Au magnetic nanoparticles (AuMNPs) loading aptamer1 (Apt1) was used as recognition elements, and apoferritin dually labeled with Aptamer2 (Apt2) and HRP was used as a detection probe. Sandwich-type complex, Apt1/thrombin/Apt2–apoferritin NPs–HRP was formed by the affinity reactions between AuMNPs–Apt1, thrombin, and Apt2–apoferritin–HRP. The complex was anchored on a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE). Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was used to monitor the electrode response. The proposed aptasensor yielded a linear current response to thrombin concentrations over a broad range of 0.5–100 pM with a detection limit of 0.07 pM (S/N = 3). The detection signal was amplified by using apoferritin and HRP. This nanoparticle-based aptasensor offers a new method for rapid, sensitive, selective, and inexpensive quantification of thrombin, and offers a promising potential in protein detection and disease diagnosis.     

Pyrene-stacked nanostructures constructed in the recombinant tobacco mosaic virus rod scaffold

The effect of pyrenes introduced into a tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) coat protein monomer on the formation and stability of the TMV assembly was investigated. The possible arrangement of the pyrenes in the inner cavity of the TMV rod was also estimated. The pyrene derivative was introduced to four specific amino acids in the cavity of the TMV rod structure. Rod-structure formation was examined by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Two pyrene-attached mutants (positions 99 and 100) assembled to increase the length of the rod structures by 2.5 microm at pH 5.5. The interaction of the pyrene moieties in the TMV cavity was investigated by steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopic analysis. Strong excimer emission with significantly short wavelength (465 nm) was observed from the two mutants mentioned above. Excitation and UV-visible spectra indicate that the pyrene moieties form pi-stacked structures in the TMV cavity. Details of the pyrene interaction were investigated by analyzing the fluorescence lifetime of the excimer. Results suggest that the pyrenes formed preassociated rigid structures with partially overlapped geometry in the restricted space of the TMV cavity. The pyrenes effectively stabilize the TMV rod through a pi-stacking interaction in a well-ordered way, and the single pyrene moiety introduced into the monomer affects the overall formation of the TMV rod structure.
