Multiplexed Determination of Amino‐Terminal Pro‐B‐Type Natriuretic Peptide and C‐Reactive Protein Cardiac Biomarkers in Human Serum at a Disposable Electrochemical Magnetoimmunosensor

A rapid magnetoimmunosensor for the simultaneous determination of two cardiac biomarkers, amino‐terminal pro‐B‐type natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP) and C‐reactive protein (CRP), in human serum is described. Specific capture antibodies were covalently immobilized onto carboxylic acid‐modified magnetic beads. The quantification of NT‐proBNP and CRP was performed by using indirect competitive and sandwich configurations, respectively, and horseradish peroxidase‐labeled tracers. The use of dual screen‐printed carbon electrodes allowed the achievement of simultaneous independent amperometric readout for each cardiac biomarker. The developed methodology showed very low limits of detection (0.47 ng mL^?1). An international standard for CRP serum spiked with NT‐proBNP was analyzed to evaluate the usefulness of the magnetoimmunosensor.

Monitoring of progestins: Development of immunochemical methods for purification and detection of levonorgestrel

A polyclonal antibody (Ab) for the progestin levonorgestrel (LNG) was generated, and immunochemical assays for its detection, clean-up and concentration were developed. A highly specific microplate diagnostic assay for the detection of LNG was developed that used the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. The LNG ELISA developed was sensitive and reproducible; it exhibited I₅₀ and I₂₀ values of 3.3 ± 1.8 ng mL⁻¹ and 0.6 ± 0.4 ng mL⁻¹, respectively, and the Abs did not cross react with any of the tested steroid hormones. The above Abs were used to develop a sol-gel-based immunoaffinity purification (IAP) method for concentration and clean-up of LNG that is compatible with subsequent immunochemical or instrumental chemical analytical procedures, such as liquid chromatography followed by mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Development of the columns included successful entrapment of Abs within a tetramethoxysilane (TMOS)-based SiO₂ polymer network. The Abs could bind the free analyte from solution, and the bound analyte could be easily eluted from the sol-gel matrix at high recoveries. The Ab selectivity towards the antigen was high, in both ELISA and the sol-gel columns, but the entrapped Abs cross-reacted with two other steroid hormones - ethynylestradiol (EE2) and nortestosterone (NT) - which share similar epitopes with LNG, despite the lack of cross reactivity in the ELISA. The validity of the method was investigated by LC-MS/MS and a good analytical correlation was obtained.     

Influence of backbone length and synthetic mutations on orientation of neurotensin fragments adsorbed onto a colloidal silver surface: SERS studies

Neurotensin (NT) is a naturally occurring neurotransmitter that mediates the metabotropic seven‐transmembrane G protein‐coupled receptors, namely NTR1s, richly expressed on tumor surface. Therefore, mutated active molecular fragments of NT that possess selective antagonist or weak agonist properties and the high affinity to NTR1 have attracted considerable interest for use in thrombus, inflammation, and imaging/treatment of tumors. In this work, SERS spectra of three N‐terminal fragments of human NT (NT^1‐6, NT^1‐8, and NT^1‐11) and six specifically mutated C‐terminal fragments of human NT, including NT^8‐13, [Dab⁹]NT^8‐13, [Lys⁸,Lys⁹]NT^8‐13, [Lys⁸‐(®)‐Lys⁹]NT^8‐13, [Lys⁹,Trp¹¹,Glu¹²]NT^8‐13, and NT^9‐13, adsorbed onto nanometer‐sized colloidal silver particles in an aqueous solution at pH level of the solution 2 are presented. A comparison was made between the structures of the native and mutated fragments to determine how changes in peptide length and mutations of the structure influenced the NT adsorption properties. Based on the interpretation of the obtained data, we showed that all of the investigated NT fragments, excluding [Lys⁹,Trp¹¹,Glu¹²]NT^8‐13, tended to adsorb on the silver surface mainly through the L‐tyrosine residue and the carboxylate group. The Tyr ring lied more‐or‐less flat on the silver surface. The hydrogen atom from the phenol group dissociated upon binding. On the other hand, [Lys⁹,Trp¹¹,Glu¹²]NT^8‐13 bound to this substrate through the close to vertical co‐pyrrole ring of the indole ring (Trp¹¹) and –COO^‐ . Comparison of the presented data with those obtained earlier for NT allows to suggest that in the case of naturally occurring neurotensin, both Tyr residues together with the carboxylate group play crucial role in the binding to the nanometer‐sized colloidal silver particles. This geometry of binding forces the NT molecule to lay flat on the surface. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Applicability of microplate assay coupled to Fiske-Subbarow reducer for the determination of phosphorous produced by in vivo human lymphocytes: PKC is probably cross talking with ecto 5′-nucleotidase

In this research, the phorbol ester, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), was used to assess the effect of protein kinase C (PKC) activation on the specific activity of ecto-5′-nucleotidase (eNT) in human lymphocytes. PMA mimics the effects of diacylglycerol, a natural compound released by the hydrolysis of the glycosilphosphatidilinositol (GPI) moiety, in activating PKC. In order to evaluate the activity of eNT in living lymphocytes, a micro-assay method was established with a low detection limit for inorganic phosphate (Pi) of 0.94 nmol Pi assay⁻¹. The dephosphorylation of Adenosine monophosphate (AMP) by functional lymphocytes was evaluated and the contribution of the eNT activity was calculated by its inhibition with the specific eNT inhibitor α,β-methylene ADP (MADP) and the use of the broad spectrum phosphatases inhibitor (but not eNT), levamisole. Under the conditions tested, we obtained an AMPase value of 8.05±4.4 nmol Pi million cells⁻¹ h⁻¹. The addition of MADP to the incubation media decreased the AMPase activity to 2.43±0.9 nmol Pi million cells⁻¹ h⁻¹ (p<0.05). On the other hand, when lymphocytes were incubated with PMA, an increase of 182% in the AMPase activity was observed. However, the addition of levamisole inhibited the AMPase activity by about 17%, while the co-incubation of cells with PMA and levamisole reduced only an 8% of the total PMA-increased AMPase activity. These results show that (1) a non-radioactive micro-method can be used to assess the Pi production in living cells; (2) the obtained data strongly suggest that eNT is the main ecto-enzyme present on the surface of circulating lymphocytes responsible for the hydrolysis of extracellular AMP; and (3) that PKC is cross talking with eNT.
