基于无标记的核酸适配体荧光生物传感器检测凝血酶

设计了一个简单、通用、基于核酸适配体无标记的高敏感、高专一检测凝血酶的荧光方法。以无标记凝血酶核酸适配体单链DNA为识别元素,Pico Green染料传导互补双链的荧光信号。Pico Green是一种不对称菁,当其单独存在时不产生荧光信号,而当其被吸附到互补的双链DNA上时,可产生很强的荧光信号,但被吸附到单链DNA上时,却无明显的信号改变。基于该性质,将其用于凝血酶的检测。该方法对凝血酶的响应线性范围为1.0×10~(-14)~1.0×10~(-7)mol/L,相关系数(r~2)为0.99,检出限为1.0×10~(-14)mol/L。1.0×10~(-8)mol/L两种干扰物质(牛血清蛋白和细胞色素C)的存在不影响凝血酶的检测,表明该方法对凝血酶具有非常好的专一性。该方法成功应用于对人血清样品的检测,其平均回收率为97%~102%。方法可简单、灵敏、特异性地检测凝血酶,有望用于医学临床诊断等领域。

Label-free Aptamer-based Fluorescent Detection of Thrombin

A simple and universal aptamer-based label-free approach for highly selective and sensitive fluorescence detection of thrombin was designed.The method is based on the specific recognition ability of label-free aptamer towards their targets,and PicoGreen dye was used to transduce the fluorescent signal of the double strand DNA duplex.As an asymmetric cyanine dye,PicoGreen reagent does not produce any fluorescence signal when it extsts alone.However,upon binding to dsDNA,it shows a significant fluorescence signal whereas no significant fluorescence change could be observed when it binds to ssDNA.Based on this property,it was used in the detection of thrombin.The results showed that a dynamic range of 1.0×10-14-1.0×10-7 mol/L(r2=0.99) was obtained with a detection limit as low as 1.0×10-14 mol/L.In order to determine the specificity of this method,the sensing system against two interfering substances such as bovine serum albumin(BSA) and cytochrome C(Cyt C) was tested.It is found that the interfering substances(each at 1.0×10-8 mol/L) could not effect on the detection of thrombin,which indicated the high selectivity of the sensing method toward thrombin.The present method was successfully applied in the determination of thrombin in real human serum with average recoveries of 97%-102%.The experiments results demonstrated that the proposed method was simple,specific and sensitive,and it was hopeful to apply in the field of medical clinical diagnosis.
