Based on indirect competitive immunoassay mechanism, bisphenol A (BPA) was detected by the evanescent wave all-fiber immunosensor previously developed with the detection limit of 0.2 microg x L(-1) and the linear detection range of 0.3-33.4 microg x L(-1). The effects of two commonly used organic solvents, including acetonitrile and n-hexane, on the immunosensing assay of BPA were investigated. The influence mechanism of organic solvents on immunosensing assay was discussed. The experimental results showed that the effect of n-hexane on immunosensing assay was negligible even at a high concentration of up to 10%, whereas the effect of acetonitrile on the immunosensing assay was relatively great. BPA could be detected in solutions containing a low concentration of acetonitrile. However, the specific binding reaction between antibody and antigen in homogeneous solution was completely inhibited by high concentrations of acetonitrile, and the quantitative analysis of BPA was not achieved. This might result from the changes of antibody conformation or binding capability between antibody and antigen because acetonitrile replaced a part of the water molecules on the antibody surface.

Leveraging Synthetic Antibody-DNA Conjugates to Expand the CRISPR-Cas12a Biosensing Toolbox.

We report here the use of antibody-DNA conjugates (Ab-DNA) to activate the collateral cleavage activity of the CRISPR-Cas12a enzyme. Our findings demonstrate that Ab-DNA conjugates effectively trigger the collateral cleavage activity of CRISPR-Cas12a, enabling the transduction of antibody-mediated recognition events into fluorescence outputs. We developed two different immunoassays using an Ab-DNA as activator of Cas12a: the CRISPR-based immunosensing assay (CIA) for detecting SARS-CoV-2 spike S protein, which shows superior sensitivity compared with the traditional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the CRISPR-based immunomagnetic assay (CIMA).

All-in-one microfluidic immunosensing device for rapid and end-to-end determination of salivary biomarkers of cardiovascular diseases.

Routine screening for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) through point-of-care assays for at-home or community-based testing of salivary biomarkers can significantly improve patient outcomes. However, its translatability has been hindered by a dearth of biosensing devices that streamline assay procedures for rapid biomarker quantitation. To address this challenge through end-to-end engineering, we developed an in-house, all-in-one microfluidic immunosensing device that integrates on-chip vibration-enhanced incubation, magnetic-assisted separation using immune magnetic bead probes, and colorimetric readout via absorbance measurements.

Ochratoxins (OTs, including OTA, OTB, and OTC), exhibit nephrotoxicity, carcinogenicity, teratogenicity, and immunotoxicity, contaminating wheat, maize, and rice, so endangering human health. In this study, we designed and screened haptens using computational chemistry to prepare mAb 4G11, which simultaneously recognized OTA, OTB, and OTC with high sensitivity and specificity. We developed a fluorescent microsphere immunochromatographic assay (FMIA), which could detect the total amount of OTs with a visual detection limit of 0.

Tris(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) ([Ru(bpy)]), as a versatile molecule, has been widely applied in various fields, such as photocatalysis, electrochemiluminescence and fluorescence probes, solar cell and LED due to its excellent optical and electrical properties, good water solubility, high chemical stability. In this work, we prepared electrostatic nanoaggregates from [Ru(bpy)] and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs@[Ru(bpy)] ENAs) as a new type of SERS nanotags. Each [Ru(bpy)] ion carries two positive charges with strong affinity to negative surfaces, which enables a strong electrostatic interaction between [Ru(bpy)] and negatively charged silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and fast (within 10 min) formation of AgNPs@[Ru(bpy)] ENAs.
