Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1297:342325. [PMID: 38438246 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.342325] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2023] [Revised: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 03/06/2024]
Abstract
This review summarizes the stepwise strategy and key points for magnetic beads (MBs)-based aptamer selection which is suitable for isolating aptamers against small and large molecules via systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX). Particularities, if any, are discussed according to the target size. Examples targeting small molecules (<1000 Da) such as xenobiotics, toxins, pesticides, herbicides, illegal additives, hormones, and large targets such as proteins (biomarkers, pathogens) are discussed and presented in tabular formats. Of special interest are the latest advances in more efficient alternatives, which are based on novel instrumentation, materials or microelectronics, such as fluorescence MBs-SELEX or microfluidic chip system-assisted MBs-SELEX. Limitations and perspectives of MBs-SELEX are also reviewed. Taken together, this review aims to provide practical insights into MBs-SELEX technologies and their ability to screen multiple potential aptamers against targets from small to large molecules.

Abstract
Small-molecule contaminants, such as antibiotics, pesticides, and plasticizers, have emerged as one of the substances most detrimental to human health and the environment. Therefore, it is crucial to develop low-cost, user-friendly, and portable biosensors capable of rapidly detecting these contaminants. Antibodies have traditionally been used as biorecognition elements. However, aptamers have recently been applied as biorecognition elements in aptamer-based biosensors, also known as aptasensors. The systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) is an in vitro technique used to generate aptamers that bind their targets with high affinity and specificity. Over the past decade, a modified SELEX method known as Capture-SELEX has been widely used to generate DNA or RNA aptamers that bind small molecules. In this review, we summarize the recent strategies used for Capture-SELEX, describe the methods commonly used for detecting and characterizing small-molecule-aptamer interactions, and discuss the development of aptamer-based biosensors for various applications. We also discuss the challenges of the Capture-SELEX platform and biosensor development and the possibilities for their future application.

Abstract
Aptamers against deoxynivalenol (DON) were selected through capture-systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment. Through isothermal titration calorimetry and fluorimetric assay, aptamer candidate DN-2 demonstrated good affinity to DON with Kd value of 40.36 ± 6.32 nM. Accordingly, a Forster resonance energy transfer aptasensor was fabricated by using the aptamer DN-2 combined with AuCu bimetallic nanoclusters as energy donor and MoS2 nanosheets as energy acceptor. Under the optimal conditions, the fluorescence response was utilized for DON quantitative determination ranging from 5 to 100 ng/mL with a detection limit of 1.87 ng/mL. The practical application of this method was verified in maize flour samples and demonstrated a satisfied recovery of 94.6 ~ 103.1%. The obtained aptamers and their application in DON determination provide a new tool for DON monitoring in various foodstuff.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 425:127976. [PMID: 34883379 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.127976] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2021] [Revised: 11/20/2021] [Accepted: 11/30/2021] [Indexed: 05/27/2023]
Abstract
The complicated labeling procedure and high cost of split aptasensors have hitherto limited their application in the detection of hazardous substances. Herein we report the first examples of label-free aptasensors based on the fusion of a binary split G-quadruplex and malachite green (MG) aptamer, transducing recognition events into fluorescent signals through the allosteric regulation of the aptamer to achieve selective and sensitive detection. Specifically, RNA MGA was successfully converted into DNA MGA with comparable affinity and improved stability, thereby overcoming the limitations of poor stability and high expense. We subsequently split the DNA MGA and attached them to a G-rich DNA sequence at the 5' and 3' ends, to construct the binary split allosteric aptasensor. The performance of the binary split aptasensor for MG detection was significantly improved based on proposed allosteric regulation strategy, and the reconfiguration capability of the aptamers upon binding with targets was proven, providing the binary split aptasensor with superior sensitivity and selectivity. This sensing method has a wide dynamic detection range of 5 nmol·L-1 to 500 μmol·L-1, with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 4.17 nmol·L-1, and achieves the ultra-sensitive and super-rapid detection of MG. This newly proposed aptasensor is equipped with the advantages of being label-free, time saving and economical. More importantly, this successful construction of a fused aptasensor expands the principles of split aptasensor design and provides a universal platform for the detection of environmental contaminants.

Abstract
Food contains a variety of poisonous and harmful substances that have an impact on human health. Therefore, food safety is a worldwide public concern. Food detection approaches must ensure the safety of food at every step of the food supply chain by monitoring and evaluating all hazards from every single step of food production. Therefore, early detection and determination of trace-level contaminants in food are one of the most crucial measures for ensuring food safety and safeguarding consumers’ health. In recent years, various methods have been introduced for food safety analysis, including classical methods and biomolecules-based sensing methods. However, most of these methods are laboratory-dependent, time-consuming, costly, and require well-trained technicians. To overcome such problems, developing rapid, simple, accurate, low-cost, and portable food sensing techniques is essential. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a type of porous materials that present high porosity, abundant functional groups, and tunable physical and chemical properties, demonstrates promise in large-number applications. In this regard, MOF-based sensing techniques provide a novel approach in rapid and efficient sensing of pathogenic bacteria, heavy metals, food illegal additives, toxins, persistent organic pollutants (POPs), veterinary drugs, and pesticide residues. This review focused on the rapid screening of MOF-based sensors for food safety analysis. Challenges and future perspectives of MOF-based sensors were discussed. MOF-based sensing techniques would be useful tools for food safety evaluation owing to their portability, affordability, reliability, sensibility, and stability. The present review focused on research published up to 7 years ago. We believe that this work will help readers understand the effects of food hazard exposure, the effects on humans, and the use of MOFs in the detection and sensing of food hazards.

Abstract
Mesoporphyrin IX (MPIX) contains a planar macrocycle center that can interact with various divalent metal ions through the exposed binding sites, leading to the metalation of MPIX. The DNA aptamers for porphyrin molecules usually display different catalytic functions (termed deoxyribozymes or DNAzymes), which can accelerate such chemical reactions. Inspired by this, an affinity chromatography selection approach was designed for identifying a porphyrin metalation DNAzyme. In our experiment, N-methyl mesoporphyrin IX (NMM), an analog of MPIX, is used as the target molecule, owing to its stable and high fluorescence enhancement after combining with specific oligonucleotides. Our results showed that the selected aptamer Nm1 is capable of binding to NMM with a low micromolar dissociation constant (0.75 ± 0.08 μM) and displays a catalytic activity for MPIX metalation with 3.3-fold rate enhancement. The protocol for isolation of such a porphyrin metalation DNAzyme is described in detail here.

Abstract
Aptamer-functionalized nanoparticles have been widely studied as targeted probes in biomedical applications for targeted therapy and imaging. The rigidity of the nanoparticle could stabilized the spatial structure of the aptamer, ensuring the selectivity and affinity for target recognition in the complex environment. The main aim of this article study was to explore the effect of the spatial structure of aptamer in the interaction between aptamer nanoprobes and receptors. We designed and synthesized aptamer functionalized nanoparticle systems with different derivation lengths, and developed a unique kinetic analysis to quantify affinity interactions. The system used silver decahedral nanoparticles (Ag10NPs), which was then chemically functionalized with thrombin (or IgE) aptamers of different tail lengths to produced different nanoprobes, and employed thrombin (or IgE) as target on a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor to evaluate the binding of these nanoprobes. Kinetic analysis of the SPR binding curve was performed to evaluated the affinity between nanoprobes and targets. Under the premise of eliminating multivalent interactions, we found that the distance between aptamer and nanoparticle could affect the affinity between nanoprobe and target. Furthermore, we found that keeping a certain distance between aptamer and nanoparticle could effectively improved the recognition efficiency of the aptamer nanoprobe and target. It shows that the rigidity of nanomaterials could maintain the spatial structure of the aptamer.

A flexible paper based electrochemical portable biosensor towards recognition of ractopamine as animal feed additive: Low cost diagnostic tool towards food analysis using aptasensor technology.

Abstract
Due to the costly and time-consuming traditional techniques, providing a low-cost, portability and flexibility diagnostic tool with the ability to monitor and detect various animal feed additive is highly demanded. Over the years, paper-based biosensors have emerged as point of care (POC) diagnostic, easy-to-use and miniaturized tools. However, they have been suffered from low sensitivity. Aptamer as appropriate bioreceptor can overcome the most common disadvantage of paper based sensor by increasing selectivity and sensitivity. In this study, a novel paper-based electrochemical aptasensor was successfully developed to detection of ractopamine (RAC). RAC concentration was evaluated using a designed three-electrode paper based biodevice system. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the engineered aptasensor provided good sensitivity and selectivity for the detection of RAC. Using proposed flexible sensor RAC was determined in the range of 0.001 µM to 100 mM which the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) was obtained as 0.01 µM. Finally, aptasensor was used to the monitoring of RAC in untreated human plasma specimens which LLOQ and linear range were 0.01 µM and 0.01 µM to 10 mM, respectively. We hope that the exploitation of aptamer in electrochemical paper based sensor will be able to broaden our understanding for developing the application of low-cost and portable biodevices for the sensitive and selective paper-based sensor to identify other chemical and biological compounds.

Abstract
Infectious diseases are considered as a pressing challenge to global public health. Accurate and rapid diagnostics tools for early recognition of the pathogen, as well as individualized precision therapy are essential for controlling the spread of infectious diseases. Aptamers, which were screened by systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX), can bind to targets with high affinity and specificity so that have exciting potential in both diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the latest development of SELEX technology and focus on the applications of aptamer-based technologies in infectious diseases, such as targeted drug-delivery, treatments and biosensors for diagnosing. The challenges and the future development in this field of clinical application will also be discussed.

Abstract
The emerging aptamer, developed through the systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) process, has revolutionized and facilitated the discoveries in basic research. Among all SELEX technology, Capture-SELEX is a variant of the in vitro selection process, which is suitable for isolating aptamers against small molecules. Capture-SELEX library was developed to enable the immobilization of the oligonucleotides instead of the target molecules during the aptamer selection process. The review provides an update on the recent-advances in this new screening method with particular emphasis on key points of capture protocol and its applications. The limitations and the prospects of the Capture-SELEX are also discussed. We hope that present review will inspire more researchers to understand the selection problems from the perspective of Capture-SELEX. Moreover, it will open new pave to improve the efficiency and success of screening to meet the growing demand for aptasensor discovery in small molecules.

Abstract
Yersinia enterocolitica remains a threat to public health, and a sensitive detection method is a prerequisite due to its complicated diagnosis associated with slow growth. Recently, aptamer-based detection systems have played a vital role in the development of simple, rapid, sensitive, and specific detection methods. Herein, highly specific ssDNA aptamers were screened against Y. enterocolitica at the different growth stages by whole cell-SELEX. Cells at different growth stages were harvested and incubated with an ssDNA library to get an enriched pool of specific aptamer candidates. After the 10th round of SELEX, the enriched pool was sequenced and grouped into seven families based on homology and similarity of the secondary structure. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that the aptamers M1, M5, and M7 with K d values of 37.93 ± 7.88 nM, 74.96 ± 21.34 nM, and 73.02 ± 18.76 nM had the highest affinity and specificity to the target, respectively. The selected aptamers showed binding to the different growth stages of Y. enterocolitica with a significant increase in the gated fluorescence. Our aptamer selection strategy is convenient, and the developed aptamer can be useful for an accurate and reliable detection system.

Abstract
As(III) is a toxic heavy metal which causes serious health problems. Therefore, the development of highly sensitive sensors for As(III) detection is of great significance. Herein, a turn-on luminescence resonance energy transfer (LRET) method based on luminous nanorods was designed for As(III) detection. Biotin-labelled As(III) aptamers were tagged to avidin functionalized luminous nanorods as energy donors, while graphene oxide (GO) acted as the energy acceptor. The adsorption of single-stranded DNA on graphene oxide resulted in the efficient quenching of the luminescence of the nanorods through the LRET process. In the presence of As(III), aptamers bonded to As(III) preferentially and resulted in the formation of aptamer-As(III) complexes. The aptamer-As(III) complexes were rubbed off from the GO surface due to their conformational change, which led to the recovery of the luminescence of the nanorods. A good linear relationship between the luminescence intensity and concentration of As(III) was obtained in the range from 1 to 50 ng·mL−1, with a detection limit of 0.5 ng·mL−1. Furthermore, the developed sensors showed good specificity towards As(III) and proved capable of detecting As(III) in the environment and food samples. The proposed time-resolved sensors provide a promising sensing strategy for the rapid and sensitive detection of As(III).

Abstract
A selection of aptamers specific for di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and development of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) aptasensor are described in this paper. The aptamers were selected from an immobilized ssDNA library using the systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX). The enrichment was monitored using real-time quantitative PCR (Q-PCR), and the aptamers were identified by high-throughput sequencing (HTS), gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) colorimetric assay, and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). The EIS aptasensor was developed to detect DEHP in water samples. After eight rounds of enrichment, HTS, AuNPs colorimetric assay, and LSPR analysis indicated that four aptamers had higher binding activity, and aptamer 31 had the highest affinity (Kd = 2.26 ± 0.06 nM). The EIS aptasensor had a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.103 pg/mL with no cross-reactivity to DEHP analogs and a mean recovery of 76.07% to 141.32% for detection of DEHP in water samples. This aptamer is novel with the highest affinity and sensitivity.

Abstract
Developing easy-to-use and miniaturized sensors for in-field monitoring of targets which is related to human health is necessary. Ractopamine (RAC) is a feed additive with serious side effects that is forbidden in many countries. This study reports the fabrication of an impedimetric aptasensor for ultrasensitive and selective detection of the RAC in human biological fluids. Accordingly, an efficient nanocomposites was synthesized by a beneficial combination of graphene quantum dots (GQDs), quantum dots (QDs) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) for modifying a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). This nanocomposite is promising to present a synergistic effect in the increase of the active surface area of the modified electrode to more load the biocapture of the target. Next, the RAC-binding aptamer (Apt) was attached to the AgNPs/QDs@GQDs/GCE surface and a sensitive layer for the RAC detection was embedded. A RAC-Apt complex was formed upon adding the RAC and the changes of the electrochemical behavior were studied by some electrochemical techniques such as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Under optimal conditions, the charge transfer resistance (Rct) value was increased linearly with increasing of the RAC concentrations in the range of 1 fM to 901.4 nM. Limit of detection (LOD) was calculated to be 330 aM which is superior by other reported electrochemical methods in the RAC sensing. The applicability of the aptasensor was tested in human urine and blood serum as the real samples and satisfactory results of specificity were achieved. It seems that the proposed strategy not only provides a new ultrasensitive strategy for RAC detection but also expands the application of the sensing interface to develop other aptasensors by changing the Apt sequence.

Abstract
Copper(II) polyphthalocyanine (CuPPc) was combined with graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) to form a heterojunction with enhanced photoelectrochemical (PEC) signal. A sensitive PEC method was developed for determination of ractopamine based on a PEC inner filter effect between gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and the g-C3N4/CuPPc. A gold electrode was modified with g-C3N4/CuPPc and the DNA was linked to the AuNPs. Initially, the PEC signal is weak due to the inner filter effect between the AuNPs and g-C3N4/CuPPc. In the presence of ractopamine, it interacts with the aptamer and the complementary chain (C chain) is released. This triggers the entropy-driven cyclic amplification and results in the release of the substrate B chain (SB chain) from three-dimensional DNA stabilizer. The probe is released from the electrode due to the interaction of probe DNA and the SB chain. As a result, the PEC signal increases linearly in the 0.1 pmol·L-1 to 1000 pmol·L-1 ractopamine concentration range. The detection limit is 0.03 pM, and the relative standard deviation is 3.4% (at a 10 pmol·L-1 level; for n = 11). The method has been successfully applied to the determination of ractopamine in pork samples. Graphical abstract Schematic presentation of detection method based on PEC inner filter effect between AuNPs and the g-C3N4/CuPPc being fabricated for ractopamine. 3D DNA was used as stabilizer to decrease the PEC blank signal.

Abstract
Spermine contamination ranks as one of the food safety issues, it will cause some adverse reactions if the intake of spermine is excessive in human body. So it is of great significance to establish fast and efficient analysis method to detect spermine in foods. In this study, the spermine aptamers with high affinity and specificity were obtained by the capture systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (Capture-SELEX) technique. Forty-one aptamer sequences were obtained by cloning and sequencing, and were divided into eight families based on homology and secondary structure analysis. The affinity and specificity of candidate aptamers was analyzed by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and fluorescence assay. The aptamers named APJ-6 was picked out as the optimal aptamer that recognizes spermine specifically with the Kd value of 9.648 ± 0.896 nM. In order to verify the practicability of the selected aptamers, the sensitive aptamer-based fluorescene assay was designed. Under optimized conditions, this aptasensor exhibited a low detection limit of 0.052 nM, as well as a linear within the range of 0.1-20 nM. Besides, it has been further applied for the determination of spermine in pork samples and the recoveries ranged from 86.45% to 98.15%, showing its great potential for sensitive analysis in food safety control.

Abstract
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), a highly glycosylated protein, overexpresses in many cancers. In this study, computational methods were used to optimize CEA aptamers. Experimental evaluvation of selected aptamers were conducted through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. After two and three-dimensional structure modeling, the complexes of twelve reported aptamers against CEA were simulated using the ZDOCK server. Based on docking scores, two aptamer sequences (CSR59 and CSR57.1) were selected and used to create a new library. This ssDNA aptamer library consisting of 91 sequences was created using diverse in silico mutational methods. We obtained seventeen sequences having higher binding scores than reported sequences. Based on ZDOCK scores, the interaction domain of CEA, and steric hindrance due to glycosylation, two aptamer sequences (G3S1.5 and G2S2.2) were selected. An impedimetric aptasensor was designed, and selected aptamers were used as biorecognition elements. Resistance to charge transfer (Rct) quantities confirmed the bioinformatic approach and molecular docking scores. The result showed that the interaction ability of selected aptamers was about 13.5 fold higher than the control. It can be concluded that the selected aptamers have good potential for detection of carcinoembryonic antigen biomarker.

Abstract
We report a novel method for the efficient screening of aptamers from a complex ssDNA library based on a microarray chip, which was named Microarray-SELEX. In this method, the target protein (lactoferrin) and negative proteins (α-lactalbumin, β-lactoglobulin, bovine serum albumin, and casein) were each dotted and immobilized on a slide to form a protein microarray. Moreover, the library was added to this chip to interact with negative proteins, then with the target protein. The process of SELEX could be monitored on-line using a fluorescent microarray scanner and the whole process was performed in only six rounds. Finally, five aptamers (YFL-1, YFL-4, YFL-5, YFL-6 and YFL-7) were obtained, which showed good specificity towards lactoferrin in the presence of negative proteins. The equilibrium dissociation constants (K d) of the aptamers were in the nanomolar range. Briefly, Microarray-SELEX is a rapid, easy, sensitive and efficient method for screening aptamers.

Abstract
A novel DNA motor for thrombin detection was described here based on proximity ligation assay (PLA) induced DNAzyme recycling cleavage. Fluorophore labeled DNA is modified on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and the fluorescent signal is quenched by AuNPs. The PLA between target thrombin and two aptamers induces the forming of Mg2+-dependent DNAzyme. The fluorophore labeled DNA is cleaved circularly by the DNAzyme, releasing the fluorescent fragment from AuNPs surface. The cleavage and rebinding process create a processive walking along AuNPs surface track. As a result, the fluorescent intensity recovers significantly. A good linear relationship is obtained between the ratio of fluorescence intensity and thrombin concentration in the range from 10 pM to 10 nM. The limit of detection is calculated to be 4 pM. These results are comparable or even better than other amplification based methods.

Abstract
Aptamers (DNA or RNA) have complex three-dimensional shapes that can bind to specific targets. Relative to antibodies, aptamers benefit from their low cost of production, easy chemical modification, high chemical stability, reproducibility, and low levels of immunogenicity and toxicity. However, the true value of aptamers lies in their simplicity by which these molecules can be engineered into sensors as bio-recognition elements in diagnostics, drug discovery and therapy, environmental monitoring and food quality testing, etc. Many different types of techniques, such as optical, electrochemical, radiochemical and piezoelectronic methods, have been applied for the design of aptamer-based methods, in which chemiluminescence (CL) detection techniques have become very popular in recent years. This review focuses on the recent advances in the development of aptamer-based CL sensors for different target detection. We highlight specific examples that showcase the use of aptamers in practical applications, and provide the challenges and opportunities in this promising field.

Selection and Identification of Novel Aptamers Specific for Clenbuterol Based on ssDNA Library Immobilized SELEX and Gold Nanoparticles Biosensor. Molecules 2018; 23:molecules23092337. [PMID: 30216975 PMCID: PMC6225122 DOI: 10.3390/molecules23092337] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2018] [Revised: 09/06/2018] [Accepted: 09/07/2018] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
We describe a multiple combined strategy to discover novel aptamers specific for clenbuterol (CBL). An immobilized ssDNA library was used for the selection of specific aptamers using the systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX). Progress was monitored using real-time quantitative PCR (Q-PCR), and the enriched library was sequenced by high-throughput sequencing. Candidate aptamers were picked and preliminarily identified using a gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) biosensor. Bioactive aptamers were characterized for affinity, circular dichroism (CD), specificity and sensitivity. The Q-PCR amplification curve increased and the retention rate was about 1% at the eighth round. Use of the AuNPs biosensor and CD analyses determined that six aptamers had binding activity. Affinity analysis showed that aptamer 47 had the highest affinity (Kd = 42.17 ± 8.98 nM) with no cross reactivity to CBL analogs. Indirect competitive enzyme linked aptamer assay (IC-ELAA) based on a 5′-biotin aptamer 47 indicated the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.18 ± 0.02 ng/L (n = 3), and it was used to detect pork samples with a mean recovery of 83.33–97.03%. This is the first report of a universal strategy including library fixation, Q-PCR monitoring, high-throughput sequencing, and AuNPs biosensor identification to select aptamers specific for small molecules.

Abstract
A highly efficient method for eliminating terminal fixed region interference of aptamer with real-time monitoring of the SELEX process was described by silver decahedra nanoparticles probe (Ag10-A10-RP(15)) capture and block the terminal fixed region candidates. A microarray chip was developed by immobilization of target protein (lipocalin-1 (LCN-1)) and control proteins (Human serum albumin (HSA), Bovine serum albumin (BSA) and Holo-transferrin) on the biochip surface. The nucleic acid pool was first incubated with target and then captured by hybridization with Ag10-A10-RP(15). The work allows rapid screening of aptamer elimination fixed-region interference, and the kinetic constants of candidate sequences can be quickly determined using SPRi technology. Eventually, ten aptamers with high affinity and specific for LCN-1 after only fifth-round of selection was acquired.

Abstract
A novel label-free protocol was developed for measuring the affinity between ractopamine and its monoclonal antibody (McAb) based on microdialysis (MD) on-line sampling integrated with flow injection chemiluminescent detection. In this study, unbound ractopamine was sampled by MD probe from homogeneous immunoreaction equilibrious systems, and then real-time quantified using flow injection chemiluminescent detection. The quantified concentrations of unbound ractopamine in the immunoreaction equilibrious systems were treated with Scatchard analysis and Klotz analysis to obtain the affinity constant. The mean recovery of MD probe for sampling ractopamine was found to be 24.2%. The affinity constants calculated by Scatchard analysis and Klotz analysis both were 1.0 × 106 M-1, indicating that the investigated ractopamine mouse McAb was a medium-affinity antibody. The result showed good agreement with that obtained from thiocyanate elution test. This protocol for measuring antibody affinity is free of protein conjugation of hapten and enzyme labeling of McAb. Therefore it avoids affinity decrease resulting from steric hindrance, occupancy of the antigenic determinants, and deactivation of antibody, which has been frequently encountered in the reported conventional approaches. It opens up a new pathway for direct measurement of antibody affinity with a facile, rapid, accurate and low-cost approach.

Abstract
Pneumococci are one of the leading causes of infections throughout the world causing problems mainly in children, elderly, and immune-deficient patients. In recent years antibiotic resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae strains become widespread. Therefore simple, rapid, and specific detection methods are needed for public health. In this study, DNA aptamer probes against S. pneumoniae were selected using bacterial Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment (SELEX) and these probes were integrated in to a graphene oxide (GO) based fluorescent assay. Among the tested aptamers three candidates Lyd-1, Lyd-2 and Lyd-3 showed Kd values of 844.7 ± 123.6, 1984.8 ± 347.5, and 661.8 ± 111.3 nM, respectively. These candidates showed binding affinity to S. pneumoniae and no specific binding to the bacteria used in negative selection. The binding of aptamers were showed by fluorescence spectroscopy and flow cytometry. GO based label-free fluorescent assay developed using Lyd-3 aptamer had a unique detection limit of 15 cfu mL-1. Thus we believe that the selected aptamers and fabricated GO based assay has potential to be used in the detection of S. pneumoniae. Selected aptamers selectively bind to S. pneumonia with anti-pneumococcal potential and holds great potential to be used as molecular probes for identifying and targeting.
