The availability of metal mesh device sensors has been investigated using surface-modified nickel mesh. Biotin was immobilized on the sensor surfaces consisting of silicon and nickel via a thiol-ene click reaction, known as the Michael addition reaction. Biotinylation on the maleimidated surface was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The binding of streptavidin to the biotinylated surfaces was evaluated using a quartz crystal microbalance and a metal mesh device sensor, with both techniques providing similar binding constant value. The recognition ability of the biotin immobilized using the thiol-maleimide method for streptavidin was comparable to that of biotin immobilized via several other methods. The adsorption of a biotin conjugate onto the streptavidin-immobilized surface via the biotin-streptavidin-biotin sandwich method was evaluated using a fluorescent microarray, with the results demonstrating that the biological activity of the streptavidin remained.

A dual-mode immunoassay method was developed for colorimetric and fluorescence detection of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) based on streptavidin-induced gold nanoparticle aggregation (AuNP@SA). AuNP-modified streptavidin-biotin labeling AFB1 complete antigen aggregations (AuNP@SA@Bio-BSA-AFB1) were synthesized as the competitive binding and dual-mode probe. AuNP@SA@Bio-BSA-AFB1 aggregations possessed high colorimetric and fluorescence quenching intensities.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder that causes extensive damage to multiple organs and tissues and has no known cure. This study introduces a microfluidic detection platform that combines a microfluidic reaction chip with a micro-spectrometer to accurately detect the anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (anti-CCP Ab) biomarker, commonly associated with arthritis. The surface of the microfluidic reaction chip is functionalized using streptavidin to enable the subsequent immobilization of biotinylated-labeled cyclic citrullinated peptide (biotin-CCP) molecules through a streptavidin-biotin reaction.

Noninvasive liquid biopsies can be used for early tumor diagnosis by identifying the methylation level of the tumor suppressor genes (TSGs)-a reliable index for cancer evaluation. However, identifying trace circulating genes from specimens remains challenging. This work introduces a novel method that combines magnetic isolation and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) to concentrate and detect the methylated TSG promotors.

A novel approach is introduced using nanoplasmonic microarray-based solid-phase recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) that offers high sensitivity and multiplexing capabilities for gene detection. Nanoplasmonic microarrays were developed through one-step immobilization of streptavidin/biotin primers and fine-tuning the amplicon size to achieve high plasmon-enhanced fluorescence (PEF) on the nanoplasmonic substrate, thereby improving sensitivity. The specificity and sensitivity of solid-phase RPA on nanoplasmonic microarrays was evaluated in detecting E, N, and RdRP genes of SARS-CoV-2.

Interleukin-6 (IL6) is a cytokine mainly involved in inflammatory processes associated with various diseases, from rheumatoid arthritis and pathogen-caused infections to cancer, where malignant cells exhibit high proliferation and overexpression of cytokines, including IL6. Furthermore, IL6 plays a fundamental role in detecting and differentiating tumor cells, including colorectal cancer (CRC) cells. Therefore, given its range of biological activities and pathological role, IL6 determination has been claimed for the diagnosis/prognosis of immune-mediated diseases.
