Lateral flow immunoassays (LFAs) are widely used in point-of-care testing (POCT) for detecting small molecules. However, their application is often hindered by the complex synthesis of traditional chemically synthesized antigens. Nanobody-based coating antigen mimics have shown excellent analytical performance in various immunoassay platforms, but their application in LFAs still faces challenges.

Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers measured the prevalence of IgG anti-IgA in PID patients compared to healthy controls and found a low percentage of PID patients with these antibodies and hypersensitivity.
  • * The study suggests that complement activation might be a more significant factor in hypersensitivity reactions to immunoglobulin preparations, rather than just the presence of IgG anti-IgA.

The clonal selection theory (CST) is the centrepiece of the current paradigm used to explain immune recognition and memory. Throughout the past decades, the original CST had been expanded and modified to explain new experimental evidences since its original publication by Burnet. This gave origin to new paradigms that govern experimental immunology nowadays, such as the associative recognition of antigen model and the stranger/danger signal model.

Nontoxic substitutes to mycotoxins can facilitate the development of eco-friendly immunoassays. To explore a novel nontoxic substitute to ochratoxin A (OTA), this study screened shark anti-idiotypic variable new antigen receptors (VNARs) against the alpaca anti-OTA nanobody Nb28 through phage display. After four rounds of biopanning of a naïve VNAR phage display library derived from six adult Chiloscyllium plagiosum sharks, one positive clone, namely, P-3, was validated through a phage enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (phage ELISA).
