A DNA-antibody conjugate is a synthetic molecule that combines the unique functions of both an antibody and DNA. With the increased accessibility of commercialized kits, the procedure for constructing conjugates is simplified and the requirement for chemistry background is reduced. As a result, the difficulty of preparing a DNA-antibody conjugate has been significantly lowered. Therefore, the application of DNA-antibody conjugates has attracted more interest in recent years. The most common application of DNA-antibody conjugates is based on the amplifiable property of DNA through PCR. This includes single-conjugate-based immuno-PCR, paired-conjugates-based proximity ligation assay, and proximity extension assay. These methods achieve highly sensitive or specific detection of target proteins. The conjugated single stranded DNA molecules can also specifically hybridize with another strand containing its complementary sequence. This property can be used to selectively bind fluorophore labeled DNA strands, which plays an important role in tissue imaging and spatial omics. All these factors make DNA-antibody conjugates have a broad range of applications in research, diagnosis, and potentially therapy.

DNA-templated chemical reactions have found wide applications in drug discovery, programmed multistep synthesis, nucleic acid detection, and targeted drug delivery. The control of these reactions has, however, been limited to nucleic acid hybridization as a means to direct the proximity between reactants. In this work a system capable of translating protein-protein binding events into a DNA-templated reaction which leads to the covalent formation of a product is introduced.

Aberrations of genomic DNA methylation have been confirmed to be involved in the evolution of human cancer and have thus gained the potential to be depicted as biomarkers for cancer diagnostics and prognostic predictions, which implicates an urgent need for detection of total genomic DNA methylation. In this work, we suggested an assay for the quantification of global DNA methylation, utilizing methylation specific antibody (5mC) modified magnetic beads (MBs) for immunorecognition and affinity enrichment. Subsequently, the captured DNA on the surface of MBs interacted with the glucose oxidase-conjugated DNA antibody whose catalytic reaction product was engaged in electrochemical detection of the overall level of DNA methylation on a PB-doped screen-printed electrode.

Many bioconjugation strategies for DNA oligonucleotides and antibodies suffer limitations, such as site-specificity, stoichiometry and hydrolytic instability of the conjugates, which makes them unsuitable for biological applications. Here, we report a new platform for the preparation of DNA-antibody bioconjugates with a simple benzoylacrylic acid pentafluorophenyl ester reagent. Benzoylacrylic-labelled oligonucleotides prepared with this reagent can be site-specifically conjugated to a range of proteins and antibodies through accessible cysteine residues.

Sensitive detection of the SARS-CoV-2 protein remains a great research interest in clinical screening and diagnosis owing to the coronavirus epidemic. Here, an ultrasensitive chemiluminescence (CL) imaging strategy was developed through proximity hybridization to trigger the formation of a rolling circle-amplified G-quadruplex/hemin DNAzyme for the detection of the SARS-CoV-2 protein. The target protein was first recognized by a pair of DNA-antibody conjugates, Ab-1 and Ab-2, to form a proximity-ligated complex, Ab-1/SARS-CoV-2/Ab-2, which contained a DNA sequence complemental to block DNA and thus induced a strand displacement reaction to release the primer from a block/primer complex.
