Enzyme cascade-amplified immunoassay based on the nanobody-alkaline phosphatase fusion and MnO nanosheets for the detection of ochratoxin A in coffee.

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a common food contaminant with multiple toxicities and thus rapid and accurate detection of OTA is indispensable to minimize the threat of OTA to public health. Herein a novel enzyme cascade-amplified immunoassay (ECAIA) based on the mutated nanobody-alkaline phosphatase fusion (mNb-AP) and MnO nanosheets was established for detecting OTA in coffee. The detection principle is that the dual functional mNb-AP could specifically recognize OTA and dephosphorylate the ascorbic acid-2-phosphate (AAP) into ascorbic acid (AA), and the MnO nanosheets mimicking the oxidase could be reduced by AA into Mn and catalyze the 3,3',5,5'-tetramethyl benzidine into blue oxidized product for quantification.
