Immunosensors

The current trends and future aspects of the research and development of immunosensors are overviewed. A non-labelled immunosensor, whose selectivity depends on immunochemical affinity of an antigen for its corresponding antibody, has been developed as the basis for the potentiometric determination of an antigen, with an antibody-bound membrane or electrode. Non-labelled immunosensors for syphilis antibody, blood typing, human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), and human serum albumin have been investigated. In contrast with non-labelled immunosensors, labelled immunosensors may be characterized by marked enhancement of sensitivity. Of these labelled immunosensors, enzyme immunosensors that use the chemical amplification of a labelling enzyme for sensitivity are promising. Enzyme immunosensors with an oxygen electrode have been developed to determine AFP, HCG, IgG and toxin. Bioaffinity sensors with a preformed metastable ligand-receptor complex, which are similar to the enzyme immunosensor have been found effective for the determination of thyroxine (T4), biotin, and insulin.     

Layer-by-layer assembly of chemical reduced graphene and carbon nanotubes for sensitive electrochemical immunoassay

In this work, uniform and stable multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCT) and chemically reduced graphene (GR) composite electrode interface was fabricated by using layer-by-layer assembly method. The performances of these GR-MWCT assembled electrode interfaces were studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). It was demonstrated that the assembled composite film significantly improved the interfacial electron transfer rate compared with that of GR or MWCT modified electrode. Based on the GR-MWCT assembled interface, a sandwich-type electrochemical immunosensor was constructed using human IgG as a model target. In this assay, human IgG was fixed as the target antigen, the HRP-conjugated IgG as the probing antibody and hydroquinone as the electron mediator. The detection limit of the immunosensor was 0.2 ng mL(-1) (signal-to-noise ratio of 3). A good linear relationship between the current signals and the concentrations of Human IgG was achieved from 1 ng mL(-1) to 500 ng mL(-1). Moreover, this electrochemical immunosensor exhibited excellent selectivity, stability and reproducibility, and can be used to accurately detect IgG concentration in human serum samples. The results suggest that the electrochemical immunosensor based on GR-MWCT assembled composite will be promising in the point-of-care diagnostics application of clinical screening of multiple diseases.     

Immunosensor for the diagnosis of Chagas' disease

Trypanosoma cruzi proteins from epimastigote membranes, herein referred as antigens, have been used for the construction of an amperometric immunosensor for serological diagnosis of Chagas' disease. The proteins used had a molecular mass ranging from 30 to 100 kDa. The gold electrode was treated with cysteamine and glutaraldehyde prior to antigen immobilization. Antibodies present in the serum of patients with Chagas' disease were captured by the immobilized antigens and the affinity interaction was monitored by chronoamperometry at a potential of -400 mV (versus Ag pseudo-reference electrode) using peroxidase-labeled IgG conjugate and hydrogen peroxide, iodide substrate. The incubation time to allow maximum antigen-antibody and antibody-peroxidase-labeled IgG interactions was 20 min with a reactivity threshold at -0.104 microA.     

An immunosensor for ferritin based on agarose hydrogel

A novel electrochemical immunosensor for determination of ferritin in serum has been proposed. The immunosensor was prepared by immobilizing ferritin antibody (FeAb) on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) based on agarose hydrogel. The modification procedure of the immunosensor was characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The effects of amount of FeAb, incubation time and temperature on the immunosensor were explored to provide optimum analytical performance. The determination of ferritin was based on the change in DPV response before and after the antibody (Ab)-antigen (Ag) reaction. Tests result indicated that FeAb in the device microenvironment had biological activity. The detection limit for ferritin was 1.5 x 10(-5) g l(-1) and the linear range was 5-50 x 10(-5) g l(-1) with a correlation coefficient of 0.996. The storage stability was acceptable in pH 7.0 phosphate buffer saline (PBS) solution at 4 degrees C for 10 days. The proposed immunosensor provides a new promising method for the clinical immunoassay of ferritin.     

Electrochemiluminescence of CdSe quantum dots for immunosensing of human prealbumin

We describe a non-labeled electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunosensor based on CdSe quantum dots (QDs) for the detection of human prealbumin (PAB, antigen). The immunosensor was fabricated by layer by layer coupled with nanoparticle-amplification techniques. After two gold nanoparticle layers were self-assembled onto the gold electrode surface through cysteamine, anti-PAB (antibody) were conjugated with -COOH groups of both the CdSe QDs and cysteine, which were linked to the gold nanoparticle-modified electrode. The principle of ECL detection was that the immunocomplex inhibited the ECL reaction between CdSe QDs and K(2)S(2)O(8), which resulted in the decrease of ECL intensity. On the one hand, the immunocomplex increased the steric hindrance. On the other hand, the immunocomplex maybe inhibit the transfer of K(2)S(2)O(8) to the surface of the CdSe QD-electrode. The PAB concentration was determined in the range of 5.0 x 10(-10) to 1.0 x 10(-6) g mL(-1), and the detection limit was 1.0 x 10(-11) g mL(-1). The developed CdSe QD-based ECL immunosensor provides a rapid, simple, and sensitive immunoassay protocol for protein detection, which could be applied in more bioanalytical systems.     

Novel potentiometry immunoassay with amplified sensitivity for diphtheria antigen based on Nafion, colloidal Ag and polyvinyl butyral as matrixes

A novel potentiometry immunoassay with amplified sensitivity has been developed for the detection of diphtheria antigen (Diph) via immobilizing diphtheria antibody (anti-Diph) on a platinum electrode based on Nafion, colloidal Ag (Ag), and polyvinyl butyral (PVB) as matrixes in this study. The modified procedure was further characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The influence and factors influencing the performance of resulting immunosensor were studied in detail. The resulting immunosensor exhibited sigmoid curve with log Diph concentrations, high sensitivity (51.4 mV/decade), wide linear range from 8 to 800 ng ml(-1) with a detection limit of 1.5 ng ml(-1), rapid potentiometric response (<3 min) and long-term stability (>6 months). Analytical results of clinical samples show that the developed immunoassay is comparable with the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) method, implying a promising alternative approach for detecting diphtheria antigen in the clinical diagnosis.     

A disposable electrochemical immunosensor for flow injection immunoassay of carcinoembryonic antigen

A new simple immunoassay method for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) detection using a disposable immunosensor coupled with a flow injection system was developed. The immunosensor was prepared by coating CEA/colloid Au/chitosan membrane at a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE). Using a competitive immunoassay format, the immunosensor inserted in the flow system with an injection of sample and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled CEA antibody was used to trap the labeled antibody at room temperature for 35 min. The current response obtained from the labeled HRP to thionine-H(2)O(2) system decreased proportionally to the CEA concentration in the range of 0.50-25 ng/ml with a correlation coefficient of 0.9981 and a detection limit of 0.22 ng/ml (S/N=3). The immunoassay system could automatically control the incubation, washing and current measurement steps with good stability and acceptable accuracy. Thus, the proposed method proved its potential use in clinical immunoassay of CEA.     

Detecting penicillin G in milk with impedimetric label-free immunosensor

A label-free impedimetric flow injection immunosensor for the direct detection of penicillin G has been developed. Anti-penicillin G was immobilized on a gold working electrode modified with a self-assembled monolayer of thioctic acid. Real time monitoring of impedance was carried out at the optimum frequency of 160 Hz. Under optimum operating conditions the system provided a wide linear range between 1.0 x 10(-13) and 1.0 x 10(-8) M with a very low detection limit of 3.0 x 10(-15) M, much lower than the MRL of penicillin G in milk (1.2 x 10(-8) M). The immobilized anti-penicillin G on self-assembled thioctic acid monolayer gold electrode was very stable and provided good reproducible signal after regeneration up to 45 times with a relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) lower than 4%. Good recoveries and precisions were obtained when spiked raw milk samples were analyzed.     

A mediatorless and label-free amperometric immunosensor for detection of h-IgG

A novel experimental methodology for studying a mediatorless and label-free immunosensor is proposed by immobilizing antibody on gold nanoparticle/L-cysteine coated electrode (nano-Au/L-cysteine electrode). Differential pulse voltammograms (DPV) resulting from the assembled immunosensor indicate that the immunosensor shows excellent electrochemical response to dopamine so that the electrochemical response is utilized for the signal generation step of the immunosensor. Therefore, by means of unenzymatic-labeling procedure combined with the amperometric detection using dopamine as substrate, the immunological reaction can be detected. After the immunosensor is incubated with h-IgG solution, the access of electrocatalytic behavior center of the immunosensor to dopamine is partly inhibited, which leads to a linear decrease in amperometric response of the immunosensor with h-IgG concentration over a range 0.82-90 ng mL(-1) by DPV.     

Regulation of antibody response in vitro. X. Biphasic effect of cyclic AMP on the secondary anti-hapten antibody response to anti-immunoglobulin and enhancing soluble factor.

The effect of elevation of an intracellular cyclic AMP level on in vitro anti-hapten antibody response was studied, by using mesenteric lymph node cells of rabbits which were primed with dinitrophenylated Ascaris antigen (DNP-Asc) or DNP-ragweed antigen (DNP-Rag). The anti-hapten antibody response was induced by stimulation of the primed B cells by either DNP-heterologous carrier conjugate or anti-immunoglobulin (anti-Ig) for 24 hr (first stage), followed by 6-day culture of the activated cells in the presence of nonspecific enhancing factor (second stage). The stimulation with anti-Ig induced IgG anti-hapten antibody response and enhanced the formation of total IgG. Addition of dibutyryl cyclic AMP or aminophylline with anti-Ig or DNP-heterologous carrier during the first stage enhanced IgG anti-hapten antibody response. The optimal concentration of these reagents for the enhancement was 5 x 10(-4) M to 10(-3) M. The presence of 5 x 10(-6) M prostaglandin E1 during the first stage also enhanced the antibody response. Similarly, the presence of dibutyryl cyclic AMP or aminophylline during the stimulation of DNP-Rag-primed cells with homologous antigen (first stage) enhanced the antibody response. If the same concentration of dibutyryl cyclic AMP or aminophylline was added together with enhancing soluble factor during the second stage after the stimulation of the primed cells with anti-Ig, both the antibody response and the formation of IgG were suppressed. The antibody response of DNP-Rag-primed cells stimulated with homologous antigen was also suppressed if dibutyryl cyclic AMP or aminophylline was added during the subsequent culture (second stage). Evidence was obtained that suppression of antibody response by cyclic AMP during the second stage is probably due to inhibition of the proliferation of B cells. Neither of these drugs suppressed the formation of enhancing soluble factor from the carrier-specific cells stimulated with the homologous carrier. The results obtained in the present experiments suggested that stimulation of hapten-primed B cells with anti-gamma chain in the presence of an optimal concentration of dibutyryl cyclic AMP resulted in the formation of a significant amount of IgG anti-DNP antibody without participation of T cells.
