Development of a rapid detection method for deoxycholic acid (DCA) is crucial for its diagnosis in the early stages of inflammation and cancer. In this study, we expressed a soluble recombinant anti-DCA single-chain variable fragment (scFv) in . To convert scFv into a Quenchbody (Q-body), we labeled scFv using commercially available maleimide-linked fluorophores. The TAMRA-C5-maleimide-conjugated Q-body showed the highest response within a few minutes of DCA addition, indicating its applicability as a wash-free immunoassay probe for onsite DCA detection.
