AI Article Synopsis

  • The traditional gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) used in colorimetric lateral flow immunoassays (LFIA) are often limited in sensitivity due to their insufficient signal brightness.
  • A new "three-in-one" multifunctional nanohybrid (FeO@MOF@Pt) has been developed, combining FeO nanoparticles, MIL-100(Fe), and platinum nanoparticles, which enhances colorimetric signal brightness and sensitivity.
  • This new system can achieve a sensitivity of 0.5 pg/mL for procalcitonin testing, which is about 2280 times greater than conventional AuNP-based LFIA, indicating its potential for improved disease diagnostics.

Article Abstract

Colorimetric lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as signal reporters has been widely used in point-of-care testing. Nonetheless, the potential of traditional AuNP-based LFIA for the early diagnosis of disease is often compromised by limited sensitivity due to the insufficient colorimetric signal brightness of AuNPs. Herein, we develop a "three-in-one" multifunctional catalytic colorimetric nanohybrid (FeO@MOF@Pt) composed of FeO nanoparticles, MIL-100(Fe), and platinum (Pt) nanoparticles. FeO@MOF@Pt displays enhanced colorimetric signal brightness, fast magnetic response, and ultrahigh peroxidase-mimicking activity, which are beneficial to the enhancement of the sensitivity of LFIA by coupling with magnetic separation and catalytic amplification. When integrated with the dual-antibody sandwich LFIA platform, the developed FeO@MOF@Pt can achieve an ultrasensitive immunochromatographic assay of procalcitonin with a sensitivity of 0.5 pg mL, which is approximately 2280-fold higher than that of conventional AuNP-based LFIA and superior to previously published immunoassays. Therefore, this work suggests that the proposed catalytic colorimetric nanohybrid can act as promising signal reporters to enable ultrasensitive immunochromatographic disease diagnostics.

One of the most significant challenges for image-guided cancer-targeted therapy is to develop multifunctional optical contrast agents enabling simultaneous targeting and therapy. Herein, a feasible strategy is based on the incorporation of therapeutic moieties into the non-delocalized structure of polymethine indocyanines, known as the "structure-inherent targeting" concept. By possessing a rigid chloro-cyclohexenyl ring in the heptamethine cyanine backbone, a new type of multifunctional near-infrared fluorescent dye, Ph790H, that targets tumor without the need for additional targeting ligands is synthesized.

Ultra-sensitive detection of norovirus using a three-in-one CRISPR platform based on a DNA hydrogel and composite functional nanomaterials.

The ultrasensitive sensor with three optical response mechanisms was proposed for the determination of trace amounts of norovirus using a 3-in-1 GCSNAs (a gap-containing spherical nucleic acid nanoparticles) probe. A simple and highly sensitive three-mode biosensor with Raman, colorimetric, and fluorescence functions was proposed and implemented using the GCSNAs probe and a DNA hydrogel for norovirus detection. When the virus exists, the trans-cleavage activity of CRISPR-Cas12a was activated by double-stranded dsDNA (dsDNA) generated by reverse transcription and recombinase polymerase isothermal amplification (RT-RPA) to degrade the DNA hydrogel/GCSNA composition and release the three-in-one (3-in-1) probe-GCSNA, realising the triple ultrasensitive detection of norovirus.
