Quartz-crystal microbalance immunosensor for Schistsoma-japonicum-infected rabbit serum.

A quartz-crystal microbalance immunosensor (QCM) has been developed for the direct determination of Schistosoma-japonicum-infected rabbit serum. A self-assembled monolayer with carboxyl groups was first coated on a gold electrode of a quartz-crystal resonator by the spontaneous adsorption of 3-mercaptopropionic acid. Schistosoma-japonicum molecular antigen of 32 kD molecular weight was then covalently attached to the crystal surface. The QCM immunosensor was used to detect infected rabbit serum (IRS49-2000); a maximum titer of 1:800 was achieved.     

Application of a flow type quartz crystal microbalance immunosensor for real time determination of cattle bovine ephemeral fever virus in liquid

Bovine ephemeral fever (BEF) is a viral disease of cattle. A flow type quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) immunosensor was developed for the real time determination BEF virus (BEFV) that is suitable for clinical point-case diagnosis. Self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of thiols and sulphides by the cystamine–glutaraldehyde method was used for the immobilization of BEFV monoclonal antibody on the gold surface of a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). A positive correlation was found between the virus concentration and frequency changes (R² = 0.9962) on this QCM system. The reproducible rates for the 50 and 10 μg/mL samples were 4 and 13.9%, respectively. There was no interference from non-specifically adsorbed phage. Using this flow type QCM immunosensor, BEFV could specifically be detected with sensitivity comparable to a conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The measurement could be obtained directly, within several minutes, rather than hours as required visualizing the results of ELISA. In addition, the observation of reproducible and constant changes after successive additions of BEFV suggests that a QCM immunosensor in a flow cell could be developed for automated or continuous real time operation.     

High sensitivity microgravimetric biosensor for qualitative and quantitative diagnostic detection of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins

A piezoelectric immunosensor system was developed for the rapid detection of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs). The system uses a competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay (EIA) based on a mouse monoclonal antibody that is specific for 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (2,3,7,8-TCDD) and a conjugate of a dioxin-like competitor coupled to the enzyme horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The anti-dioxin antibody was deposited on a 10 MHz AT-cut quartz crystal resonator modified with a self-assembly monolayer of dithiobis-N-succinimidyl propionate. PCDDs at different concentrations in the range 0.001-10 ng mL-1 were mixed with a constant amount of HRP-conjugated competitor. The frequency responses due to the adsorption of the mixed samples on the biosensor surface were measured. The results show that 2,3,7,8-TCDD can be quantitatively detected with the developed immunosensor in the concentration range 0.01-1.3 ng mL-1. Cross-reactivities of the biosensor to various PCDD congeners were also investigated. The sensitivity and selectivity of the quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) biosensor is comparable to EIA and ELISA methods in the detection of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins. The developed QCM immunosensing system offers significant improvements in speed, sample throughout and cost for the qualitative and quantitative detection of PCDDs compared with GC-MS.     

Development of an immunosensor for human ferritin, a nonspecific tumor marker, based on a quartz crystal microbalance

A new human ferritin immunosensor was developed using anti-human ferritin antibodies (Abs) immobilized on the gold disc of a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). Two kinds of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) prepared by cystamine-glutaraldehyde and cystamine method were applied to immobilize anti-ferritin monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) and polyclonal antibodies (PoAbs) on the quartz, respectively. The reusabilities of quartz crystal adopting the SAMs were found to be better than those of the other immobilization methods used. The 10 cycles of measurements could be performed on the gold surface of the same crystal regenerated with a solution of glycine·HC1. This sensor system could be continuously performed for 15 days, the relative frequency shifts (the frequency shifts measured are relative to the response at the first day) were all found to be above 95%. A linear relationship existed between the frequency shifts (Hz) and the log values of human ferritin concentrations in the range from 0.1 to 100 ng/ml in buffer and mouse serum. This human ferritin immunosensor had some advantages: high sensitivity, high specificity, low sample requirement, high reusability, no label and no pretreatment etc.

Immunosensor for okadaic acid using quartz crystal microbalance

An immunosensor for the determination of okadaic acid (OA) using a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) was developed and optimised in standard solutions. Several coupling techniques, protein A, protein G and polyethylenimine (PEI) with glutaraldehyde (GA) cross-linking, were investigated for the determination of okadaic acid and a very good result was obtained with PEI coupling. With the PEI coupling method, the optimisation of incubation time for the activation of PEI on the crystal surface using GA, the effect of the dilution factor of OA-bovine serum albumin (BSA) conjugate and the amount of antibody on crystal frequency were studied. Different molar ratios (4:1, 14:1, 30:1) of OA to bovine serum albumin for the conjugation were examined and the results using ELISA and a QCM showed that a ratio of 14:1 was slightly better than the other two. The strong attachment of the cross-linked complex to the gold surface resulted in an excellent storage lifetime of 38 days. However, the detection limit (1.9 μg/ml) and the sensitivity of the sensor were not satisfactory. Significant improvement of the performance of the device was obtained by incorporating an antibody-BSA hydrogel. Initial results showed that the minimum amount of analyte detectable and the sensitivity of the device were improved by 524- and 80-fold, respectively.     

A piezoelectric immunoassay based on self-assembled monolayers of cystamine and polystyrene sulfonate for determination of Schistosoma japonicum antibodies

A piezoelectric immunosensor based on an improved immobilization strategy combining self-assembled monolayers (SAM) of cystamine (Cys) and polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) has been developed for the determination of Schistosoma japonicum antibodies (SjAb) in rabbit serum. Cys SAM were first applied to the gold electrode surface of the crystal, serving as a positively-charged base. Schistosoma japonicum antigen (SjAg) was then electrostatically immobilized on the crystal by means of a negatively-charged PSS layer. When sealed by use of an appropriately selected blocking reagent for BSA and normal rabbit serum (NRS), non-specific adsorption could be substantially reduced.The immunosensor was used to determine SjAb in optimized buffer medium with addition of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), which served as an immunoreaction enhancer. It was shown experimentally that SjAg immobilized by the Cys-PSS adsorption procedure had higher immunological activity or binding efficiency than those immobilized by the glutaraldehyde (GLU) binding or direct attachment procedures. The immunosensor developed had satisfactory sensitivity and detection limit, and regeneration of the piezoelectric quartz-crystal was easy. Analytical results obtained with infected rabbit serum samples indicated that the proposed immunosensor is a promising alternative for qualitative and quantitative determination of SjAb in clinical diagnosis of infection with Schistosoma japonicum.     

A reusable piezo-immunosensor with amplified sensitivity for ceruloplasmin based on plasma-polymerized film

A reusable piezoelectric immunosensor with amplified sensitivity has been developed for the detection of ceruloplasmin (CP) in human serum. The quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) was deposited with plasma-polymerized n-butyl amine film with the surface topology further characterized by using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Anti-ceruloplasmin antibody (CP-Ab) was electrostatically adsorbed on the PPF-modified crystal via an oppositely charged polyelectrolyte layer of alginate. It was found that the alginate-mediated immobilization interface could allow for antibodies to be largely immobilized with well-retained immunoactivity. In particular, a simple regeneration process for the sensor produced, i.e. by shifting the pH, can also be realized. Moreover, an optimized assay medium containing polyethylene glycol (PEG) was tested with enhanced immunosensing response (sensitivity). A dynamic concentration range of two orders of magnitude and a detection limit of 0.15 μg ml⁻¹ of CP were observed. Analytical results of clinical samples show that the developed immunoassay is comparable with the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. However, it presents some superior advantages over the traditional sandwich format in that the analyzing performances are direct, rapid and simple without multiple separation and labeling steps.     

Quartz crystal microbalance immunoassay for carcinoma antigen 125 based on gold nanowire-functionalized biomimetic interface

Gold nanowires with of designed length on a solid substrate have been proven as an efficiently immobilized affinity support for the detection of carcinoma antigen 125 (CA 125) in this study. The presence of gold nanowires provides a well-defined three-dimensional structure, and greatly amplifies the coverage of the anti-CA 125 protein on the probe surface. Moreover, the amount of anti-CA 125 varied with the change of the morphology of the probe, and achieved an optimal quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) response towards anti-CA 125 adsorption at the number of gold nanolayers of 5. The formed immune-probe exhibits good QCM responses for the detection of CA 125, and allows the detection of CA 125 at concentrations as low as 0.5 U ml(-1). The QCM immunosensor exhibited good precision, high sensitivity, acceptable stability, accuracy and reproducibility. The as-prepared immunosensors were used to analyze CA 125 in human serum specimens. Analytical results suggest that the developed immunoassay method is a promising alternative approach for detecting CA 125 in the clinical diagnosis. Compared with conventional ELISA, the proposed immunoassay system was simple and rapid without multiple labeling and separation steps. Importantly, the route provides an alternative approach to incorporate multiple gold nanolayers onto the solid matrix for biosensing applications.
