Objective: To develop a high sensitive and specific method for the detection of abrin.
Methods: The abrin monoclonal antibody (mAb) 7D1 coated with Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and abrin mAb labeled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP-mAb) were used to establish the immunocapturing method for abrin detection. The results were compared with the traditional double antibody sandwich ELISA.
Results: The detecting linear of immunocapture for abrin was 2.5-60 ng/mL, and the linear regression equation was y=0.012x-0.015 with the detection limit of 2.5 ng/mL. Ricin at different concentrations did not interfere the abrin detection results, which demonstrated that the method had a good specificity . This approach showed good reproducibility with relative standard deviation ranging from 5.18%-8.67%. It could be used for analyzing abrin-contaminated specimens such as water, beverage, and milk, etc. The results of comparison with the conventional double antibody sandwich ELISA indicated that the immunocapture have a broader linear scale, higher sensitivity, and a shorter detection time.
Conclusion: The developed immunocapturing method can be used for detecting traces of abrin.

Background: Commonly, ligand-binding platforms are being used for immunogenicity assessment, but with the recent advent of liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for protein quantification, this technology has become an alternative for the measurement of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs), when combined with an immunocapture step to extract them out of the biological sample.
Method: The monoclonal antibody adalimumab was immobilized on magnetic beads to isolate ADAs against this drug from serum samples. Multiple repetitions of immunopurification were used to minimize nonspecific binding and improve drug tolerance while maintaining sufficient recovery.

Immunoassays could provide valuable insights into disease biomarkers and gut health by measuring fecal proteins. However, reliably isolating intact proteins from feces is challenging due to its heterogeneous and variable composition. This paper aims to review and compare different methods for extracting proteins from fecal samples to make them suitable for immunoassay analysis.

The surface of HIV-1 is embedded with numerous host-derived proteins. Characterizing these proteins can enhance knowledge of virus biology and potentially identify novel therapeutic targets. As many of these proteins are present in low abundance on virion surfaces, their identification can be hindered by inherent variables in the methods employed to detect them, including their varying assay sensitivities, sample processing, quantitative capacity, and experimental reproducibility.

Article Synopsis
- Extracellular vesicles (EVs) from virus-infected cells could aid in vaccine development by encapsulating viral peptides and indicating tissue changes in infections.
- Blood samples from severe COVID-19 patients, mild cases, and uninfected healthcare workers were collected to analyze the molecular characteristics of EVs and identify suitable vaccine peptides.
- Despite the expectation to find viral peptides, the proteomic analysis revealed no such findings, but highlighted a diverse EV cargo linked to inflammation and viral replication, suggesting EVs play a significant role in COVID-19 pathology.
