Fiber-optic immunosensor for detection of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever IgG antibodies in patients.

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a severe viral disease with high fatality rate. CCHF virus is endemic in parts of Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and southeastern Europe. Rapid diagnostics of CCHF is vital for appropriate clinical management and prevention of secondary spread from human-to-human.

Fe(III)-TAML activator: a potent peroxidase mimic for chemiluminescent determination of hydrogen peroxide.

Efforts to replace native peroxidase with its low molecular weight alternatives have stimulated a search for peroxidase mimetics. Herein we describe the oxidation of luminol with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by commercially available Fe(III)-TAML activator 1a, which was shown to be a more active catalyst than hemin. At Fe(III)-TAML activator 1a use in chemiluminescent assay for H2O2 determination the detection limit value (3σ) of 5×10(-8)M was similar to the detection limit obtained with horseradish peroxidase (1×10(-7)M) and significantly lower than that obtained in the presence of hemin (6×10(-7)M).

Highly sensitive microfluidic competitive enzyme immunoassay based on chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer for the detection of neuron-specific enolase.

A microfluidic competitive enzyme immunoassay based on chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (CRET) was developed for highly sensitive detection of neuron-specific enolase (NSE). The CRET system consisted of horseradish peroxidase (HRP)/luminol as a light donor and fluorescein isothiocyanate as an acceptor. When fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled antibody binds with HRP-labeled antigen to form immunocomplex, the donor and acceptor are brought close each other and CRET occurs in the immunocomplex.

Mechanism of action of 4-dialkylaminopyridines as secondary enhancers in enhanced chemiluminescence reaction.

Kinetic study of peroxidase-catalyzed oxidation of 3-(10'-phenothiazinyl)propane-1-sulfonate (SPTZ) by hydrogen peroxide demonstrated that the addition of 4-dialkylaminopyridines to a substrate solution significantly increased a rate of production of SPTZ cation radical and did not affect the rate of decomposition of this radical. These results explain the mechanism of action of 4-dialkylaminopyridines as secondary enhancers in enhanced chemiluminescence reaction used widely in analytical practice.
