Human parvovirus B19 is a prevalent childhood infectious virus that poses a great challenge to public health, so the detection of B19V is of great importance. In this study, a DNA sensor based on CbAgo, a Cas effector, and a dual electrochemical signal amplification strategy was developed by using a novel nanocomposite MnO/CMK-3/g-CN/AgNPs for initial signal amplification, with CMK being an ordered mesoporous carbon nanomaterial. Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were used as electrocatalytic probes for secondary signal amplification to detect B19 DNA. The detection process begins with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification using the B19V infectious clone plasmid (pB19-M20) as a template and NS1-F/R as primers, followed by specific cleavage of B19 DNA based on the programmable cutting sites of CbAgo effector protein. This study enriches the application of Argonaute proteins in sensing and introduces a novel method to detect B19V. Under optimized conditions, the biosensor can detect B19 DNA in the range of 10-10 M, with a detection limit (LOD) of 0.2 fM. The results indicate that the developed DNA sensor holds promise for reliable and sensitive detection of B19 DNA in human serum.

A triple signal amplified electrochemical aptasensor for the detection of bisphenol A (BPA) was developed for the first time based on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), hemin/G-quadruplex DNAzyme, and exonuclease I (Exo I) assisted amplification strategies. The BPA aptamer (Apt) hybridized with the capture probe (CP) was fixed on the gold electrode (GE) to form the double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) structure. When BPA was present, the Apt was detached from the GE surface by specific recognition between the BPA and Apt, forming BPA-Apt complexes in solution.

The development of B-lymphoblastic leukemia is tightly associated with aberrant expression of Pax-5a. This work presented a novel dual signal amplification strategy-based Pax-5a detection method by combining the rolling circle amplification reaction (RCA) and the Entropy-driven toehold-mediated strand displacement (ETSD). Particularly noteworthy is the employed ETSD, which effectively improves the rate and stability of the reaction due to its unique entropy-driven principle.
