Multiplex detection of tumor markers with photonic suspension array

A novel photonic suspension array was developed for multiplex immunoassay. The carries of this array were silica colloidal crystal beads (SCCBs). The codes of these carriers are the characteristic reflection peak originated from their structural periodicity, and therefore they do not suffer from fading, bleaching, quenching, and chemical instability. In addition, because no dyes or materials related with fluorescence are included, the fluorescence background of SCCBs is very low. With a sandwich format, the proposed suspension array was used for simultaneous multiplex detection of tumor markers in one test tube. The results showed that the four tumor markers, α-fetoprotein (AFP), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carcinoma antigen 125 (CA 125) and carcinoma antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) could be assayed in the ranges of 1.0-500 ng mL⁻¹, 1.0-500 ng mL⁻¹, 1.0-500 U mL⁻¹ and 3.0-500 U mL⁻¹ with limits of detection of 0.68 ng mL⁻¹, 0.95 ng mL⁻¹, 0.99 U mL⁻¹ and 2.30 U mL⁻¹ at 3σ, respectively. The proposed array showed acceptable accuracy, detection reproducibility, storage stability and the results obtained were in acceptable agreement with those from parallel single-analyte test of practical clinical sera. This technique provides a new strategy for low cost, automated, and simultaneous multiplex immunoassay.     

Individually addressable electrode array for multianalyte electrochemiluminescent immunoassay based on a sequential triggering strategy

Multianalyte immunoassay in a single run is often necessary to monitor or quantitate several components in a complex sample matrix for various purposes. In this paper we present a novel, individually addressable electrode array for sequential electrochemiluminescent (ECL) immunoassay using a non-array detector. An immunosensor array was fabricated by site-selectively immobilizing multiple antigens on different electrodes. With a competitive immunoassay format, the amounts of the bound Ru(bpy)(3)(2+) derivative labeled antibodies decreased with the increase of the antigens in the sample, and the ECL signals from different immunosensors were collected in turn by a photomultiplier with the aid of a home-made single-pore-three-throw switch. Using human IgG and rat IgG as model analytes, this multianalyte immunoassay showed detection limits down to 8.9 and 7.2 ng mL(-1) for them, respectively. The results for real sample analysis demonstrated that this strategy can provide a simple, sensitive, low-cost and high-throughput ECL immunosensor array for clinical diagnosis.     

Electrochemical stripping analysis of nanogold label-induced silver deposition for ultrasensitive multiplexed detection of tumor markers

A multiplexed electrochemical immunoassay method was developed for simultaneous ultrasensitive measurement of tumor markers based on electrochemical stripping analysis of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs). The Ag NPs were deposited on a disposable immunosensor array with a reduction reaction catalyzed by nanogold labels. The immunosensor array was prepared by covalently immobilizing capture antibodies on chitosan modified screen-printed carbon electrodes. Through a sandwich-type immunoreaction, antibody-functionalized Au NPs were captured onto immunosensor surface to induce the silver deposition from a silver enhancer solution. The deposited Ag NPs could be directly measured by anodic stripping analysis in KCl solution. The catalytic deposition enhanced the analytical sensitivity for detection of protein markers. The interference of dissolved oxygen could be avoided as the detection was performed with positive stripping potential range. Using carcinoembryonic antigen and α-fetoprotein as model analytes, the proposed multiplexed immunoassay method showed wide linear ranges of three orders of magnitude with the detection limits down to 3.5 and 3.9 pg mL⁻¹, respectively. The localized silver deposition, as well as the stripping detection process, eliminated completely the electrochemical cross talk between adjacent immunosensors. The immunosensor array exhibited acceptable reproducibility, stability and accuracy, showing a promising potential in multianalyte determination for clinical application.     

Multichannel homogeneous immunoassay for detection of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) using a microfabricated capillary array electrophoresis chip

A high-throughput homogeneous immunoassay for the sensitive detection of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) has been developed using radial capillary array electrophoresis microdevices. Samples consisting of equilibrium mixtures of anti-TNT antibody (Ab), fluorescein-labeled TNT, and various concentrations of unlabeled TNT were electrokinetically injected into 48 channels of a radial capillary array electrophoresis microchannel plate. The rapid electrophoretic separation allows us to analyze the equilibrium ratio formed by the competition between the labeled and the unlabeled TNT for Ab binding. The simultaneous parallel TNT separations facilitate determination of a calibration curve for the TNT assay, which has high sensitivity (LOD, 1 ng/mL) and a wide dynamic range (1-300 ng/mL).     

Enhanced surface plasmon resonance immunoassay for human complement factor 4

Using an enhanced surface plasmon resonance (SPR) immunosensor, we have determined the concentration of human complement factor 4 (C4). Antibody protein was concentrated into a carboxymethyldextran-modified gold surface by electrostatic attraction force and a simultaneous covalent immobilization of antibody based on amine coupling reaction took place. The sandwich method was applied to enhance the response signal and the specificity of antigen binding assay. The antibody immobilized surface had good response to C4 in the range of 0.02-20 μg/ml by this enhanced immunoassay. The regeneration effect by pH 2 glycine-HCl buffer was also investigated. The same antibody immobilized surface could be used more than 80 cycles of C4 binding and regeneration. In addition, the ability to determinate C4 directly from serum sample without any purification was investigated. The sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility of the enhanced immunoassay are satisfactory. The results clearly demonstrate the advantages of the enhanced SPR technique for C4 immunoassay.     

Sensitive electrochemical immunosensor array for the simultaneous detection of multiple tumor markers

A novel electrochemical immunosensor array for the simultaneous detection of multiple tumor markers was developed by incorporating electrochemically addressing immobilization and one signal antibody strategy. As a proof-of-principle, an eight-electrode array including six carbon screen-printed working electrodes was used as a base array for the analysis of two important tumor markers, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and α-fetoprotein (AFP) and a horseradish peroxidase-labeled antibody was employed as a signal antibody. The immunosensor in the array was fabricated in sequence by covalently coupling the capture antibody onto the surface of the desired working electrode, which was firstly electrochemically addressably grafted with an aminophenyl group by reduction of in situ generated aminophenyl diazonium cation generated from p-phenylenediamine, using glutaraldehyde as cross-linker. This allowed the selective immobilization of the capture antibody at the desired position on a single array via an electrochemical operation. The immunoassay in sandwich mode was performed by specifically binding the targets, second antibodies and one signal antibody to the immunosensor array. The result showed that the steady current density was directly proportional to the concentration of target CEA/AFP in the range from 0.10 to 50 ng mL(-1) with a detection limit of 0.03 ng mL(-1) for CEA and 0.05 ng mL(-1) for AFP (S/N = 3), respectively. This work demonstrates that the employment of an electrochemically addressing method for the fabrication of an immunosensor array and one signal antibody is a promising approach for the determination of multiple tumor markers in clinical samples.     

Preparation and properties of ZnO nanorod array/liquid crystal composite system

ABSTRACT

In this study, By hydrothermal reaction, we prepared ZnO nanorod array of high aspect ratio with different growth time. The prepared ZnO nanorod array was on one side of the liquid crystal cell, the another side of the liquid crystal cell is ITO-glass, then the ZnO nanorod array/liquid crystal composite was injected into the liquid crystal cell. Experimental results showed that the bandwidth of the reflection spectrum of the ZnO nanorod array/liquid crystal composite system was wider than the system without ZnO nanorod array. In addition, effects of polymerisation temperatures and the length of ZnO nanorod array on the broad-band reflection of N*-LC composite films were systematically investigated.     

Latex piezoelectric immunoassay: detection of agglutination of antibody-bearing latex using a piezoelectric quartz crystal

A method for immunoassay of CRP (C-reactive protein) was developed using a piezoelectric quartz crystal. Previous immunoassays using a piezoelectric crystal have required the formation of a thin film on the crystal, to which an antibody is affixed. The occurrence of antigen-antibody reaction increases the weight attached to the crystal surface, which causes a reduction in the oscillation frequency. In our method, the frequency reduction was observed using antibody-bearing latex without any film. One possible mechanism of the frequency change is that the crystal acts as a sensing apparatus for viscosity or density change in the solution due to aggregation of latex particles. The detection limit was almost the same as that for latex photometric immunoassay (LPIA). The present method has been designated as latex piezoelectric immunoassay (LPEIA).     

Functionalised electrode array for the detection of nitric oxide released by endothelial cells using different NO-sensing chemistries

In a preliminary study aimed at developing strategies for the simultaneous detection of various biologically important molecules, a procedure is described that allows the electrochemical detection of nitric oxide (NO) released by a population of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) by using an array of electrodes comprising three individually addressable electrodes. Each electrode in the array was modified with a different NO-sensitive electrocatalyst, thereby demonstrating the possibility of modifying the individual electrodes in an array with different sensing chemistries. This study opens a doorway to the development of arrays of electrodes for the simultaneous detection of multiple analytes in a complex environment by suitably tailoring the sensitivity and selectivity of each electrode in the array to a specific analyte in the test medium.     

Duplexed sandwich immunoassays on a fiber-optic microarray

In this paper, we describe a duplexed imaging optical fiber array-based immunoassay for immunoglobulin A (IgA) and lactoferrin. To fabricate the individually addressable array, microspheres were functionalized with highly specific monoclonal antibodies. The microspheres were loaded in microwells etched into the distal face of an imaging optical fiber bundle. Two microsphere-based sandwich immunoassays were developed to simultaneously detect IgA and lactoferrin, two innate immune system proteins found in human saliva. Individual microspheres could be interrogated for the simultaneous measurement of both proteins. The working concentration range for IgA detection was between 700 pM and 100 nM, while the working concentration range for lactoferrin was between 385 pM and 10 nM. The cross-reactivity between detection antibodies and their non-specific targets was relatively low in comparison to the signal generated by the specific binding with their targets. These results suggest that the degree of multiplexing on this fiber-optic array platform can be increased beyond a duplex.
