A high-throughput DNA analysis method based on isothermal amplification on a suspension microarray for detecting mpox virus and viruses with comparable symptoms. Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1299:342416. [PMID: 38499413 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.342416] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 02/20/2024] [Accepted: 02/25/2024] [Indexed: 03/20/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mpox is a zoonotic disease caused by mpox virus (MPXV) infection. Since May 2022, there has been a marked increase in human mpox cases in different regions. Rash, fever, and sore throat are typical signs of mpox. However, other viruses, such as the B virus (BV), herpes simplex virus types 1 (HSV-1), herpes simplex virus types 2 (HSV-2), and varicella zoster virus (VZV), can also infect people and cause comparable symptoms. Therefore, clinical symptoms and signs alone make distinguishing MPXV from these viruses difficult. RESULTS In this study, we combined suspension microarray technology with recombinase-aided amplification technology (RAA) to establish a high-throughput, sensitive, and quantitative method for detecting MPXV and other viruses that can cause similar symptoms. The experimental results confirmed that the technique has outstanding sensitivity, with a minimum detection limit (LOD) of 0.1 fM and a linear range of 0.3 fM to 20 pM, spanning five orders of magnitude. The approach also exhibits exquisite selectivity, as the amplified signal can only be detected when the target virus nucleic acid is present. Additionally, serum recoveries ranging from 80.52% to 119.09% suggest that the detection outcomes are generally considered reliable. Moreover, the time required for detection using this high-throughput method is very short. After DNA extraction, the detection signal amplified by isothermal amplification on the bead array can be obtained in just 1 h. SIGNIFICANCE AND NOVELTY Our research introduces a new technique that utilizes suspension microarray technology and isothermal amplification to create a high-throughput nucleic acid assay. This innovative method offers multiple benefits compared to current techniques, such as being cost-effective, time-efficient, highly sensitive, and having high throughput capabilities. Furthermore, the assay is applicable not only for detecting MPXV and viruses with similar symptoms, but also for clinical diagnostics, food safety, and environmental monitoring, rendering it an effective tool for screening harmful microorganisms.

Nanomaterials for detection of biomolecules and delivering therapeutic agents in theragnosis: A review. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 254:127904. [PMID: 37939770 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127904] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2023] [Revised: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 11/03/2023] [Indexed: 11/10/2023]
Abstract
Nanomaterials are emerging facts used to deliver therapeutic agents in living systems. Nanotechnology is used as a compliment by implementing different kinds of nanotechnological applications such as nano-porous structures, functionalized nanomaterials, quantum dots, carbon nanomaterials, and polymeric nanostructures. The applications are in the initial stage, which led to achieving several diagnoses and therapy in clinical practice. This review conveys the importance of nanomaterials in post-genomic employment, which includes the design of immunosensors, immune assays, and drug delivery. In this view, genomics is a molecular tool containing large databases that are useful in choosing an apt molecular inhibitor such as drug, ligand and antibody target in the drug delivery process. This study identifies the expression of genes and proteins in analysis and classification of diseases. Experimentally, the study analyses the design of a disease model. In particular, drug delivery is a boon area to treat cancer. The identified drugs enter different phase trails (Trails I, II, and III). The genomic information conveys more essential entities to the phase I trials and helps to move further for other trails such as trails-II and III. In such cases, the biomarkers play a crucial role by monitoring the unique pathological process. Genetic engineering with recombinant DNA techniques can be employed to develop genetically engineered disease models. Delivering drugs in a specific area is one of the challenging issues achieved using nanoparticles. Therefore, genomics is considered as a vast molecular tool to identify drugs in personalized medicine for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Fluorescent microbeads (MBs) are widely used as next-generation biosensors for the detection of target chemicals at highly sensitive concentrations, and for imaging and tracking in vitro and in vivo. However, most known methods for producing fluorescent MBs require complicated multistep processes that result in low production rates. In this study, we report a method for fabricating micrometer-sized quantum dot microbeads (QD-MBs) using a microfluidic chip and specially designed QD photoresist (QD-PR). This on-demand lab-on-a-chip method yielded monodispersed QD-MBs ranging from 1.89 to 33 μm with a coefficient of variation of less than 10%. The size distribution of the fabricated QD-MBs was Gaussian with a peak around the mean diameter and a spread of sizes around the peak. Compared with nanoscale QDs, the fabricated QD-MBs showed no emission loss. The full-width at half-maximum of the emission peak of the QD-MBs was smaller than that of the colloidal QDs, indicating a more uniform distribution and a higher density of QDs within the MB structure. In addition, we investigated the microfluidic flow regime that yielded the most uniform and controllable QD-MB. The MBs in the dripping regime were spherical and monodisperse, with an excellent particle size distribution. In this study, we present a simple and effective strategy for producing QD-MBs with controllable sizes, which can be crucial in diverse fields such as biosensing, drug delivery, and imaging.

Screening epitope peptides based on a phage-displayed random peptide and peptide microarrays to contribute to improving the diagnostic efficiency of systemic lupus erythematosus. Immunol Lett 2023:S0165-2478(23)00085-8. [PMID: 37247788 DOI: 10.1016/j.imlet.2023.05.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2023] [Revised: 05/19/2023] [Accepted: 05/22/2023] [Indexed: 05/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is one of the most common autoimmune diseases in China. At present, there are hundreds of autoantibodies in SLE patients; however, only a dozen of the autoantibodies can be routinely detected, and the available diagnostic antibodies are not sufficient for diagnosis or differential diagnosis of SLE patients with atypical clinical manifestations or other autoimmune diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to find new diagnostic markers to improve the diagnostic effect of SLE. METHODS The displayed random peptide library and peptide microarray were combined to identify SLE-related epitope peptides. A case-control design was used. The IgG antibodies in the sera from SLE patients, healthy controls, and other autoimmune disease controls underwent a reaction with the phage-display random peptide library, respectively. Selected epitope peptides were used to construct a peptide chip. A total of 644 serum samples (including 296 SLE patients, 168 disease controls, and 180 healthy controls) were used for further screening and verification. Peptides with an area under the curve (AUC) > 0.650 were further verified by ELISA. Finally, 500 serum samples (including 200 SLE patients, 150 disease controls, and 150 healthy controls) were used to verify and evaluate the diagnostic and differential diagnostic efficacy of the selected peptides. RESULTS After the previous screening, five epitope peptides (SLE_P19, SLE_P20, SLE_P27, SLE_P28, and SLE_P29) may have potential as SLE diagnostic markers. Additionally, SLE_P27 was superior to the other four peptides in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of SLE and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The AUC of SLE_P27 was 0.938, the sensitivity was 76.00%, the specificity was 92.70%, the positive likelihood ratio was 10.411, the negative likelihood ratio was 0.259, and the accuracy was 84.40%. The diagnostic efficacy of SLE can be increased by combining the five selected peptides with the anti-double stranded DNA antibody (anti-dsDNA)and anti-Smith antibodies (anti-Sm). CONCLUSIONS In this study, we identified five peptides that may serve as potential biomarkers for SLE diagnosis using the strategy of combining the displayed random peptide library with the peptide microarray. The combination of selected peptides and existing autoantibodies can significantly improve the diagnostic efficiency. These specific peptides are expected to be new diagnostic markers for SLE.

Abstract
Foodborne pathogens are a major public health concern and have a significant economic impact globally. From harvesting to consumption stages, food is generally contaminated by viruses, parasites, and bacteria, which causes foodborne diseases such as hemorrhagic colitis, hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), typhoid, acute, gastroenteritis, diarrhea, and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). Hence, early detection of foodborne pathogenic microbes is essential to ensure a safe food supply and to prevent foodborne diseases. The identification of foodborne pathogens is associated with conventional (e.g., culture-based, biochemical test-based, immunological-based, and nucleic acid-based methods) and advances (e.g., hybridization-based, array-based, spectroscopy-based, and biosensor-based process) techniques. For industrial food applications, detection methods could meet parameters such as accuracy level, efficiency, quickness, specificity, sensitivity, and non-labor intensive. This review provides an overview of conventional and advanced techniques used to detect foodborne pathogens over the years. Therefore, the scientific community, policymakers, and food and agriculture industries can choose an appropriate method for better results.

Abstract
Electrochemical biosensors are superior technologies that are used to detect or sense biologically and environmentally significant analytes in a laboratory environment, or even in the form of portable handheld or wearable electronics. Recently, imprinted and implantable biosensors are emerging as point-of-care devices, which monitor the target analytes in a continuous environment and alert the intended users to anomalies. The stability and performance of the developed biosensor depend on the nature and properties of the electrode material or the platform on which the biosensor is constructed. Therefore, the biosensor platform plays an integral role in the effectiveness of the developed biosensor. Enormous effort has been dedicated to the rational design of the electrode material and to fabrication strategies for improving the performance of developed biosensors. Every year, in the search for multifarious electrode materials, thousands of new biosensor platforms are reported. Moreover, in order to construct an effectual biosensor, the researcher should familiarize themself with the sensible strategies behind electrode fabrication. Thus, we intend to shed light on various strategies and methodologies utilized in the design and fabrication of electrochemical biosensors that facilitate sensitive and selective detection of significant analytes. Furthermore, this review highlights the advantages of various electrode materials and the correlation between immobilized biomolecules and modified surfaces.

Abstract
Microsphere-based flow cytometry is a highly sensitive emerging technology for specific detection and clinical analysis of antigens, antibodies, and nucleic acids of interest. In this review, studies that focused on the application of flow cytometry as a viable alternative for the investigation of infectious diseases were analyzed. Many of the studies involve research aimed at epidemiological surveillance, vaccine candidates and early diagnosis, non-infectious diseases, specifically cancer, and emphasize the simultaneous detection of biomarkers for early diagnosis, with accurate results in a non-invasive approach. The possibility of carrying out multiplexed assays affords this technique high versatility and performance, which is evidenced in a series of clinical studies that have verified the ability to detect several molecules in low concentrations and with minimal sample volume. As such, we demonstrate that microsphere-based flow cytometry presents itself as a promising technique that can be adopted as a fundamental element in the development of new diagnostic methods for a number of diseases.

Abstract
Microarrays are essential components of analytical instruments. The elements of microarrays may be imbued with additional functionalities and encodings using composite materials and structures, but traditional microfabrication methods present substantial barriers to fabrication, design, and scalability. In this work, a tool-free technique was reported to additively batch-construct micromolded, composite, and arrayed microstructures. The method required only a compatible carrier fluid to deposit a material onto a substrate with some topography. Permutations of this basic fabrication approach were leveraged to gain control over the volumes and positions of deposited materials within the microstructures. As a proof of concept, cell micro-carrier arrays were constructed to demonstrate a range of designs, compositions, functionalities, and applications for composite microstructures. This approach is envisioned to enable the fabrication of complex composite biological and synthetic microelements for biosensing, cellular analysis, and biochemical screening.

Abstract
Chitosan is a natural polymer with acceptable biocompatibility, biodegradability, and mechanical stability; hence, it has been widely appraised for drug and gene delivery applications. However, there has been no comprehensive assessment to tailor-make chitosan cross-linkers of various types and functionalities as well as complex chitosan-based semi- and full-interpenetrating networks for drug delivery systems (DDSs). Herein, various fabrication methods developed for chitosan hydrogels are deliberated, including chitosan crosslinking with and without diverse cross-linkers. Tripolyphosphate, genipin and multi-functional aldehydes, carboxylic acids, and epoxides are common cross-linkers used in developing biomedical chitosan for DDSs. Methods deployed for modifying the properties and performance of chitosan hydrogels, via their composite production (semi- and full-interpenetrating networks), are also cogitated here. In addition, recent advances in the fabrication of advanced chitosan hydrogels for drug delivery applications such as oral drug delivery, transdermal drug delivery, and cancer therapy are discussed. Lastly, thoughts on what is needed for the chitosan field to continue to grow is also debated in this comprehensive review article.

Bioactive hybrid metal-organic framework (MOF)-based nanosensors for optical detection of recombinant SARS-CoV-2 spike antigen. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 825:153902. [PMID: 35182622 PMCID: PMC8849853 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.153902] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2022] [Revised: 02/07/2022] [Accepted: 02/11/2022] [Indexed: 05/15/2023]
Abstract
Fast, efficient, and accurate detection of SARS-CoV-2 spike antigen is pivotal to control the spread and reduce the mortality of COVID-19. Nevertheless, the sensitivity of available nanobiosensors to detect recombinant SARS-CoV-2 spike antigen seems insufficient. As a proof-of-concept, MOF-5/CoNi2S4 is developed as a low-cost, safe, and bioactive hybrid nanostructure via the one-pot high-gravity protocol. Then, the porphyrin, H2TMP, was attached to the surface of the synthesized nanomaterial to increase the porosity for efficient detection of recombinant SARS-CoV-2 spike antigen. AFM results approved roughness in different ranges, including 0.54 to 0.74 μm and 0.78 to ≈0.80 μm, showing good physical interactions with the recombinant SARS-CoV-2 spike antigen. MTT assay was performed and compared to the conventional synthesis methods, including hydrothermal, solvothermal, and microwave-assisted methods. The synthesized nanodevices demonstrated above 88% relative cell viability after 24 h and even 48 h of treatment. Besides, the ability of the synthesized nanomaterials to detect the recombinant SARS-CoV-2 spike antigen was investigated, with a detection limit of 5 nM. The in-situ synthesized nanoplatforms exhibited low cytotoxicity, high biocompatibility, and appropriate tunability. The fabricated nanosystems seem promising for future surveys as potential platforms to be integrated into biosensors.

Abstract
The fluidic barrier in centrifugal microfluidic platforms is a newly introduced concept for making multiple emulsions and microparticles. In this study, we focused on particle generation application to better characterize this method. Because the phenomenon is too fast to be captured experimentally, we employ theoretical models to show how liquid polymeric droplets pass a fluidic barrier before crosslinking. We explain how secondary flows evolve and mix the fluids within the droplets. From an experimental point of view, the effect of different parameters, such as the barrier length, source channel width, and rotational speed, on the particles’ size and aspect ratio are investigated. It is demonstrated that the barrier length does not affect the particle’s ultimate velocity. Unlike conventional air gaps, the barrier length does not significantly affect the aspect ratio of the produced microparticles. Eventually, we broaden this concept to two source fluids and study the importance of source channel geometry, barrier length, and rotational speed in generating two-fluid droplets.

Dual-Signal-Encoded Barcodes with Low Background Signal for High-Sensitivity Analysis of Multiple Tumor Markers. CHEMOSENSORS 2022.

Abstract
The suspension array technology (SAT) is promising for high-sensitivity multiplexed analysis of tumor markers. Barcodes as the core elements of SAT, can generate encoding fluorescence signals (EFS) and detection fluorescence signals (DFS) in the corresponding flow cytometer channel. However, the bleed-through effect of EFS in the DFS channel and the reagent-driven non-specific binding (NSB) lead to background interference for ultrasensitive assay of multiple targets. Here, we report an ingenious method to eliminate background interference between barcode and reporter using low-background dual-signal-encoded barcodes (DSBs) based on microbeads (MBs) and quantum dots (QDs). The low-background DSBs were prepared via combination strategy of two signals containing scatter signals and fluorescence signals. Three types of MBs were distinguished by the scattering channel of flow cytometer (FSC vs. SSC) to obtain the scattered signals. Green quantum dots (GQDs) or red quantum dots (RQDs) were coupled to the surface of MBs by sandwich immune structure to obtain the distinguishable fluorescent signals. Furthermore, the amount of conjugated capture antibody on the MB’s surface was optimized by comparing the change of detection sensitivity with the addition of capture antibody. The combination measurements of specificity and NSB in SAT platform were performed by incubating the capture antibody-conjugated MBs (cAb-MBs) with individual QD-conjugated detection antibody (QDs-dAb). Finally, an SAT platform based on DSBs was successfully established for highly sensitive multiplexed analysis of six tumor markers in one test, which suggests the promising tool for highly sensitive multiplexed bioassay applications.

Abstract
In-stent restenosis (ISR) can pose serious challenges for cardiologists following coronary stent implantation. Early identification of patients at high risk of ISR is considered to be effective for its prevention. However, factors that can reliably predict the risk of ISR remain elusive at present. The present study aimed to investigate the possible association between plasma long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) levels and ISR. A total of 410 patients with single-vessel lesion who received drug-eluting stents (DES) were included in the present study. After 12-36 months of follow-up, coronary angiography was performed and ISR was defined as >50% diameter stenosis at follow-up. RT-qPCR was used to measure lncRNA expression. Expression of the lncRNA RNA antisense non-coding RNA at the INK4 locus (ANRIL) was found to be upregulated whereas the lncRNA homeobox A11 antisense (HOXA11-AS) was downregulated in the plasma of patients with ISR compared with that from patients without ISR (P<0.001). Logistic regression analysis revealed that ANRIL [odds ratio (OR)=2.95; 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.68-8.08] was an independent risk factor for ISR, whilst HOXA11-AS (OR=0.58; 95% CI=0.48-0.71) was found to be an independent protective factor for ISR. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis demonstrated that high ANRIL expression [area under the ROC (auROC)=0.755; 95% CI=0.702-0.803] and low HOXA11-AS levels (auROC=0.712; 95% CI=0.657-0.763) predicted a high risk for ISR, and the combined score of ANRIL and HOXA11-AS (auROC=0.844; 95% CI=0.798-0.884) was more efficient at predicting ISR than either ANRIL or HOXA11-AS alone (P<0.001). In conclusion, increased ANRIL and decreased HOXA11-AS expressions were associated with ISR. However, combined ANRIL and HOXA11-AS plasma levels proved to be more effective at predicting ISR compared with either ANRIL or HOXA11-AS alone, suggesting that the multiplex detection of lncRNAs could be used to predict ISR in the future.

Abstract
Direct RNA detection is critical for providing the RNA insights into gene expression profiling, noncoding RNAs, RNA-associated diseases and pathogens, without reverse transcription. However, classical RNA analysis usually requires RT-PCR, which can cause bias amplification and quantitation errors. To address this challenge, herein we report a microfluidic RNA chip (the microchip prototype) for direct RNA detection, which is primarily based on RNA extension and labeling with DNA polymerase. This detection strategy is of high specificity (discriminating against single-nucleotide differences), rapidity, accuracy, nuclease resistance, and reusability. Further, we have successfully detected disease-associated RNAs in clinical samples, demonstrating its great potentials in biomedical research and clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
The diagnosis and monitoring of cancer have been facilitated by discovering tumor "biomarkers" and methods to detect their presence. Yet, for certain cancers, we still lack sensitive and specific biomarkers or the means to quantify subtle concentration changes successfully. The identification of new biomarkers of disease and improving the sensitivity of detection will remain key to changing clinical outcomes. Patient liquid biopsies (serum and plasma) are the most easily obtained sources for noninvasive analysis of proteins that tumor cells release directly and via extracellular microvesicles and tumor shedding. Therefore, an emphasis on creating reliable assays using serum/plasma and "direct, in-solution" ELISA approaches has built an industry centered on patient protein biomarker analysis. A need for improved dynamic range and automation has resulted in the application of ELISA principles to paramagnetic beads with chemiluminescent or fluorescent detection. In the clinical testing lab, chemiluminescent paramagnetic assays are run on automated machines that test a single analyte, minimize technical variation, and are not limited by serum sample volumes. This differs slightly from the R&D setting, where serum samples are often limiting; therefore, multiplexing antibodies to test multiple biomarkers in low serum volumes may be preferred. This review summarizes the development of historical biomarker "standards", paramagnetic particle assay principles, chemiluminescent or fluorescent biomarker detection advancements, and multiplexing for sensitive detection of novel serum biomarkers.

Abstract
Efficient strategies to promote microvascularization in vascular tissue engineering, a central priority in regenerative medicine, are still scarce; nano- and micro-sized aggregates and spheres or beads harboring primitive microvascular beds are promising methods in vascular tissue engineering. Capillaries are the smallest type and in numerous blood vessels, which are distributed densely in cardiovascular system. To mimic this microvascular network, specific cell components and proangiogenic factors are required. Herein, advanced biofabrication methods in microvascular engineering, including extrusion-based and droplet-based bioprinting, Kenzan, and biogripper approaches, are deliberated with emphasis on the newest works in prevascular nano- and micro-sized aggregates and microspheres/microbeads.

Abstract
The use of color-encoded microspheres for a bead-based assay has attracted increasing attention for high-throughput multiplexed bioassays. A fluorescent PCC 6803@ZIF-8 composite was prepared as a bead-based assay platform by a self-assembled zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) on the surface of inactivated PCC 6803 cells. The composite fluorescence owing to the presence of pigment proteins in PCC 6803 could be gradually bleached with the prolongation of the ultraviolet light irradiation time. The composites with different fluorescence intensities were therefore obtained as encoded microspheres for the multiplexed assay. ZIF-8 provides a stable, rigid shell and a large specific surface area for composites, which prevent the composites from breakage during use and storage, simplify the protein immobilization procedure, reduce non-specific adsorption, and enhance the detection sensitivity. The encoded composites were successfully used to detect multiple DNA insertion sequences of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The presented strategy offers an innovative color-encoding method for high-throughput multiplexed bioassays without the need of using chemically synthesized fluorescent materials.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Early disease detection is a prerequisite for early intervention. Urine is not subjected to homeostatic control, and therefore, it accumulates very early changes associated with disease processes, some of which may be used as biomarkers. Animal models must be used to identify urinary changes associated with very early stages of diseases to avoid potential interfering factors and obtain urine samples at a sufficiently early time point before pathological or clinical manifestations occur. AREAS COVERED We reviewed recent (from 2009-2020) urine proteome studies using animal models of many diseases. We focused on early changes in urine proteome of animal models, particularly changes occurring prior to alterations in blood tests, light microscopy observations and clinical manifestations. Additional studies relevant to the topic were also extracted from the references of the cited papers. Changes in the urine proteome at different disease stages and the ability of the urine proteome to differentiate among different animal models are also discussed in this review. EXPERT COMMENTARY Urine proteomes of animal models may reflect early changes that occur even before changes in blood parameters, light microscopy observations and clinical manifestations, suggesting the potential use of urinary biomarkers for the very early detection of human diseases.

Abstract
Although suspension array technology (SAT), which uses encoded microspheres, provides high-quality results with versatile applicability for information-intensive bioanalytic applications, current encoding strategies limit the number of codes that can be distinguished. In this paper, we introduce density-encoded hydrogel microcarriers (DMs), which employ the intrinsic density property of biomaterials as a high-capacity coding dimension. Two hydrogel monomers were employed at different ratios to synthesize microgels with distinctive densities. DMs not only can be simultaneously decoded and separated using density gradient centrifugation, but also are compatible with flow cytometry detection. The size and color of DMs have been used as extra coding parameters, to construct an 8 × 2 × 4 (density × size × color) three-dimensionally encoded hydrogel microcarrier library. With aptamer-functionalized DMs (ADMs), we developed a 4-plex protein quantification method for the label-free detection of plasma biomarkers with sub-nanomolar detection limits and good linearities. Moreover, ADMs can be used for label-free naked-eye detection of tumor-derived exosomes. We believe that the simplicity and functionality of DMs will advance the field of suspension arrays and inspire the development of DM-based diagnostic applications.

Modernization of Control of Pathogenic Micro-Organisms in the Food-Chain Requires a Durable Role for Immunoaffinity-Based Detection Methodology-A Review. Foods 2021; 10:foods10040832. [PMID: 33920486 PMCID: PMC8069916 DOI: 10.3390/foods10040832] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2021] [Revised: 03/28/2021] [Accepted: 04/02/2021] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Food microbiology is deluged by a vastly growing plethora of analytical methods. This review endeavors to color the context into which methodology has to fit and underlines the importance of sampling and sample treatment. The context is that the highest risk of food contamination is through the animal and human fecal route with a majority of foodborne infections originating from sources in mass and domestic kitchens at the end of the food-chain. Containment requires easy-to-use, failsafe, single-use tests giving an overall risk score in situ. Conversely, progressive food-safety systems are relying increasingly on early assessment of batches and groups involving risk-based sampling, monitoring environment and herd/flock health status, and (historic) food-chain information. Accordingly, responsible field laboratories prefer specificity, multi-analyte, and high-throughput procedures. Under certain etiological and epidemiological circumstances, indirect antigen immunoaffinity assays outperform the diagnostic sensitivity and diagnostic specificity of e.g., nucleic acid sequence-based assays. The current bulk of testing involves therefore ante- and post-mortem probing of humoral response to several pathogens. In this review, the inclusion of immunoglobulins against additional invasive micro-organisms indicating the level of hygiene and ergo public health risks in tests is advocated. Immunomagnetic separation, immunochromatography, immunosensor, microsphere array, lab-on-a-chip/disc platforms increasingly in combination with nanotechnologies, are discussed. The heuristic development of portable and ambulant microfluidic devices is intriguing and promising. Tant pis, many new platforms seem unattainable as the industry standard. Comparability of results with those of reference methods hinders the implementation of new technologies. Whatever the scientific and technological excellence and incentives, the decision-maker determines this implementation after weighing mainly costs and business risks.

Abstract
Digital ELISA is introduced as a novel platform with unique advantages for detecting multiple kinds of single-molecule in the sample. How to improve the sensitivity of detection is the direction of current related research. Here, we report an immunoassay method that applied electrokinetic effects to isolate the individual encoded beads and confine in micro-wells to improve the efficiency of cytokines detection simultaneously. The microfluidic design provided a non-uniform electric field to induce dielectrophoresis (DEP) force and to manipulate the beads. Two wavelengths of excitation light excited the encoded beads for simultaneous detection of reporters. The light was confined to the bottom slide via the principle of total internal reflection. Finally, the concentration of captured cytokines was obtained by picking up each bead from the image and then integrating the intensity of fluorescent light emitted from the reporters. The results demonstrated that the fill percentage of encoded beads was raised from 10-20% to 60-80% via DEP effect. By comparing the fluorescence color of the particle, itself and its surface, the concentration of four target cytokines, IL-2, IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-α, were calculated to the pg/ml level. The spike and recovery experiments verified the efficiency, more than 70% of the target molecules were captured. The reliability of our method was verified by flow cytometry as well. In conclusion, we expect the application of DEP can increase the sensitivity of digital ELISA for multiple rapid detection.

Abstract
Food safety is an important livelihood issue, which has always been focused attention by countries and governments all over the world. As food supply chains are becoming global, food quality control is essential for consumer protection as well as for the food industry. In recent years, a great part of food analysis is carried out using new techniques for rapid detection. As the first biochip technology that has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), there is an increasing interest in suspension array technology (SAT) for food and environmental analysis with advantages of rapidity, high accuracy, sensitivity, and throughput. Therefore, it is important for researchers to understand the development and application of this technology in food industry. Herein, we summarized the principle and composition of SAT and its application in food safety monitoring. The utility of SAT in detection of foodborne microorganisms, residues of agricultural and veterinary drugs, genetically modified food and allergens in recent years is elaborated, and the further development direction of SAT is envisaged.

Abstract
Functional core/shell particles are highly sought after in analytical chemistry, especially in methods suitable for single-particle analysis such as flow cytometry because they allow for facile multiplexed detection of several analytes in a single run. Aiming to develop a powerful bead platform of which the core particle can be doped in a straightforward manner while the shell offers the highest possible sensitivity when functionalized with (bio)chemical binders, polystyrene particles were coated with different kinds of mesoporous silica shells in a convergent growth approach. Mesoporous shells allow us to obtain distinctly higher surface areas in comparison with conventional nonporous shells. While assessing the potential of narrow- as well as wide-pore silicas such as Mobil composition of matter no. 41 (MCM-41) and Santa Barbara amorphous material no. 15 (SBA-15), especially the synthesis of the latter shells that are much more suitable for biomolecule anchoring was optimized by altering the pH and both, the amount and type of the mediator salt. Our studies showed that the best performing material resulted from a synthesis using neutral conditions and MgSO4 as an ionic mediator. The analytical potential of the particles was investigated in flow cytometric DNA assays after their respective functionalization for individual and multiplexed detection of short oligonucleotide strands. These experiments revealed that a two-step modification of the silica surface with amino silane and succinic anhydride prior to coupling of an amino-terminated capture DNA (c-DNA) strand is superior to coupling carboxylic acid-terminated c-DNA to aminated core/shell particles, yielding limits of detection (LOD) down to 5 pM for a hybridization assay, using labeled complementary single-stranded target DNA (t-DNA) 15mers. The potential of the use of the particles in multiplexed analysis was shown with the aid of dye-doped core particles carrying a respective SBA-15 shell. Characteristic genomic sequences of human papillomaviruses (HPV) were chosen as the t-DNA analytes here, since their high relevance as carcinogens and the high number of different pathogens is a relevant model case. The title particles showed a promising performance and allowed us to unequivocally detect the different high- and low-risk HPV types in a single experimental run.

Abstract
Nowadays, the biomolecular assay platforms built-up based on bead counting technologies have emerged to be powerful tools for the sensitive and high-throughput detection of disease biomarkers. In this mini-review, we classified the bead counting technologies into statistical counting platforms and digital counting platforms. The design principles, the readout strategies, as well as the pros and cons of these platforms are introduced in detail. Finally, we point out that the digital bead counting technologies will lead the future trend for the absolute quantification of critical biomarkers, and the integration of new signal amplification approaches and routine optical/clinical instruments may provide new opportunities in building-up easily accessible digital assay platforms.

Abstract
To demonstrate the potential of time-resolved flow cytometry (FCM) for bioanalysis, clinical diagnostics, and optically encoded bead-based assays, we performed a proof-of-principle study to detect biomolecular interactions utilizing fluorescence lifetime (LT)-encoded micron-sized polymer beads bearing target-specific bioligands and a recently developed prototype lifetime flow cytometer (LT-FCM setup). This instrument is equipped with a single excitation light source and different fluorescence detectors, one operated in the photon-counting mode for time-resolved measurements of fluorescence decays and three detectors for conventional intensity measurements in different spectral windows. First, discrimination of bead-bound biomolecules was demonstrated in the time domain exemplarily for two targets, Streptavidin (SAv) and the tumor marker human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). In a second step, the determination of biomolecule concentration levels was addressed representatively for the inflammation-related biomarker tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) utilizing fluorescence intensity measurements in a second channel of the LT-FCM instrument. Our results underline the applicability of LT-FCM in the time domain for measurements of biomolecular interactions in suspension assays. In the future, the combination of spectral and LT encoding and multiplexing and the expansion of the time scale from the lower nanosecond range to the longer nanosecond and the microsecond region is expected to provide many distinguishable codes. This enables an increasing degree of multiplexing which could be attractive for high throughput screening applications.

Abstract
Background:
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) involves an immune-mediated response in which
body’s immune system destructs the protective sheath (myelin). Part of the known MS biomarkers are
discovered in cerebrospinal fluid like oligoclonal lgG (OCGB), and also in blood like myelin Oligodendrocyte
Glycoprotein (MOG). The conventional MS diagnostic methods often fail to detect the
disease in early stages such as Clinically Isolated Syndrome (CIS), which considered as a concerning
issue since CIS highlighted as a prognostic factor of MS development in most cases.
Methods:
MS diagnostic techniques include Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the brain and spinal
cord, lumbar puncture (or spinal tap) that evaluate cerebrospinal fluid, evoked potential testing revealing
abnormalities in the brain and spinal cord. These conventional diagnostic methods have some
negative points such as extensive processing time as well as restriction in the quantity of samples that
can be analyzed concurrently. Scientists have focused on developing the detection methods especially
early detection which belongs to ultra-sensitive, non-invasive and needed for the Point of Care (POC)
diagnosis because the situation was complicated by false positive or negative results.
Results:
As a result, biosensors are utilized and investigated since they could be ultra-sensitive to specific
compounds, cost effective devices, body-friendly and easy to implement. In addition, it has been
proved that the biosensors on physiological fluids (blood, serum, urine, saliva, milk etc.) have quick
response in a non-invasive rout. In general form, a biosensor system for diagnosis and early detection
process usually involves; biomarker (target molecule), bio receptor (recognition element) and compatible
bio transducer.
Conclusion:
Studies underlined that early treatment of patients with high possibility of MS can be advantageous
by postponing further abnormalities on MRI and subsequent attacks.
:
This Review highlights variable disease diagnosis approaches such as Surface Plasmon Resonance
(SPR), electrochemical biosensors, Microarrays and microbeads based Microarrays, which are considered
as promising methods for detection and early detection of MS.

Abstract
Sensitive and accurate detection of disease-related biomarkers can promote the early screening and diagnosis of cancers for improving the prognosis and survival of patients. Herein alpha fetal protein (AFP) was selected as the model macromolecule antigen and we developed AFP-specific alpaca nanobodies (Nbs) from an immunized phage-displayed Nb library. Then Nbs tagged with streptavidin-binding peptide (Nb-SBP) were constructed and used to develop an Nb-SBP-mediated fluoroimmunoassay based on the Luminex-200 system (NS-LFIA). Based on the optimal experimental conditions, the NS-LFIA has a limit of detection of 0.237 ng mL-1 with a linear detection range of 0.49-125 ng mL-1. The average recovery rate and relative standard derivation were in the range of 98.2-110% and 2.8-13.8%, respectively. The NS-LFIA is highly selective for AFP and ignorable cross-reaction was observed with the other biomarkers. The content of AFP in clinical serum samples was determined by both the developed NS-LFIA and the Roche E601 automatic chemiluminescence immunoassay analyzer and a good correlation was obtained between the two methods (R 2 = 0.9894). Moreover, the Nb-SBP can significantly improve the homogeneity of the fluorescent signals tested by the Luminex-200 system compared with the biotinylated conventional monoclonal antibodies, which could reduce the magnetic microsphere consumption and test cost by decreasing the repetitions of each sample. Thus the results demonstrated that the Nb-SBP was a very promising immunological diagnostic reagent and indicated the applicability and reliability of the NS-LFIA for sensitive detection of AFP and other disease-related biomarkers.

Abstract
A magnetic bead (MB)-based sandwich biorecognition reactions is combined with a gold nanoprobe-induced homogenous synthesis of molybdophosphate to develop a novel bioassay method for the electrochemical detection of the tumor biomarker of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). The nanoprobe is prepared through the specific loading of numerous alkaline phosphatase (ALP)-functionalized gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) on a double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) produced by the CEA aptamer-triggered hybridization chain reaction (HCR). Both the large amounts of PO43- produced by the ALP catalytic hydrolysis of pyrophosphate and the phosphate backbones of dsDNA can react with the added MoO42- to generate electroactive molybdophosphates. So, the gold nanoprobe was used for signal tracing of the sandwich bioassay of CEA at a constructed antibody-functionalized MB platform. The sensitive electrochemical measurement of molybdophosphate produced from the quantitatively captured nanoprobes at a carbon nanotube-modified electrode (measured at about 0.12 V vs. Ag/AgCl, 3 M KCl) enabled the convenient signal transduction of the method. Due to the dually enhanced synthesis of molybdophosphate by the HCR and multi-enzyme Au NP nanotags, this method shows a wide linear range from 0.05 pg mL-1 to 10 ng mL-1 along with a low detection limit of 0.027 pg mL-1. In addition, the MB-based biorecognition reaction and the homogeneous synthesis of molybdophosphate are much convenient in manipulations. These excellent performances decide the extensive application potentials of the method. Graphical abstract A magnetic bead-based bioassay method was simply developed for the electrochemical detection of carcinoembryonic antigen. The dually enhanced homogenous synthesis of molybdophosphate by hybridization chain reaction (HCR) and enzyme nanotags and the sensitive electrochemical measurement of molybdophosphate at a carbon nanotube (CNT)-electrode enable ultrasensitive signal transduction of the method.

Abstract
Porphyrins are organic compounds that continue to attract much theoretical interest, and have been called the "pigments of life". They have a wide role in photodynamic and sonodynamic therapy, along with uses in magnetic resonance, fluorescence and photoacoustic imaging. There is a vast range of porphyrins that have been isolated or designed, but few of them have real clinical applications. Due to the hydrophobic properties of porphyrins, and their tendency to aggregate by stacking of the planar molecules they are difficult to work with in aqueous media. Therefore encapsulating them in nanoparticles (NPs) or attachment to various delivery vehicles have been used to improve delivery characteristics. Porphyrins can be used in a composite designed material with properties that allow specific targeting, immune tolerance, extended tissue lifetime and improved hydrophilicity. Drug delivery, healing and repairing of damaged organs, and cancer theranostics are some of the medical uses of porphyrin-based nanocomposites covered in this review.

Abstract
Background:
In this work, a novel and extra sensitive blood sample determination method
for on-line monitoring of Daptomycin is represented.
Materials and Methods:
This technique is in accordance with the electro-membrane extraction (EME)
and stripping fast Fourier transform continuous cyclic voltammetry (SFFTCCV) coupling. Briefly, the
potential waveform had become constantly utilized over a Gold Electrode and the electrode impulse
was acquired by taking away the base current and developing the current in the particular potential area
of oxidation of sample.
Results:
This method was performed by utilizing a DC potential and migration of Daptomycin from the
analyte fluid to the layer of 4-methyl-2-pentanol as well as following migration to the acceptor fluid.
Conclusion:
A low and valuable detection limit of 3.5 ng ml-1 and quantification limit of 10.2 ng ml-1
are considered as a part of the sensible results of this experiment. Furthermore, efficient linearity in the
range of 10.0-600 ng ml-1 was observed.

Abstract
Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) embedded into polymer microbeads are known to be very attractive emitters for spectral multiplexing and colour encoding. Their luminescence lifetimes or decay kinetics have been, however, rarely exploited as encoding parameter, although they cover time ranges which are not easily accessible with other luminophores. We demonstrate here the potential of QDs made from II/VI semiconductors with luminescence lifetimes of several 10 ns to expand the lifetime range of organic encoding luminophores in multiplexing applications using time-resolved flow cytometry (LT-FCM). For this purpose, two different types of QD-loaded beads were prepared and characterized by photoluminescence measurements on the ensemble level and by single-particle confocal laser scanning microscopy. Subsequently, these lifetime-encoded microbeads were combined with dye-encoded microparticles in systematic studies to demonstrate the potential of these QDs to increase the number of lifetime codes for lifetime multiplexing and combined multiplexing in the time and colour domain (tempo-spectral multiplexing). These studies were done with a recently developed novel luminescence lifetime flow cytometer (LT-FCM setup) operating in the time-domain, that presents an alternative to reports on phase-sensitive lifetime detection in flow cytometry.

Abstract
The self-assembly of viral building blocks bears exciting prospects for fabricating new types of bionanoparticles with multivalent protein shells. These enable a spatially controlled immobilization of functionalities at highest surface densities-an increasing demand worldwide for applications from vaccination to tissue engineering, biocatalysis, and sensing. Certain plant viruses hold particular promise because they are sustainably available, biodegradable, nonpathogenic for mammals, and amenable to in vitro self-organization of virus-like particles. This offers great opportunities for their redesign into novel "green" carrier systems by spatial and structural synthetic biology approaches, as worked out here for the robust nanotubular tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) as prime example. Natural TMV of 300 x 18 nm is built from more than 2,100 identical coat proteins (CPs) helically arranged around a 6,395 nucleotides ssRNA. In vitro, TMV-like particles (TLPs) may self-assemble also from modified CPs and RNAs if the latter contain an Origin of Assembly structure, which initiates a bidirectional encapsidation. By way of tailored RNA, the process can be reprogrammed to yield uncommon shapes such as branched nanoobjects. The nonsymmetric mechanism also proceeds on 3'-terminally immobilized RNA and can integrate distinct CP types in blends or serially. Other emerging plant virus-deduced systems include the usually isometric cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV) with further strikingly altered structures up to "cherrybombs" with protruding nucleic acids. Cartoon strips and pictorial descriptions of major RNA-based strategies induct the reader into a rare field of nanoconstruction that can give rise to utile soft-matter architectures for complex tasks. This article is categorized under: Biology-Inspired Nanomaterials > Protein and Virus-Based Structures Nanotechnology Approaches to Biology > Nanoscale Systems in Biology Biology-Inspired Nanomaterials > Nucleic Acid-Based Structures.

Abstract
Fluorescent microspheres are greatly demanded in many applications based on high-throughput suspension array technology. To realize the multiplexed assay, microspheres should be encoded to identify the interaction between analytes and spheres. This study advanced a strategy for preparing fluorescence-encoded microspheres, employing two hydrophobic fluorophores, poly(p-phenyleneethylene) (PPE), and Nile Red (NR), as well as the monodisperse amino-modified porous substrate polymeric spheres, poly(glycidyl methacrylate) microspheres (APGMA). Loading the fluorophores sequentially onto the substrate spheres via adsorption by immersing the spheres in the dipping solution of fluorophores resulted in the APGMA-PPE-NR spheres. By varying the concentration and combination of fluorophores in the solution, an array of 64-code APGMA-PPE-NR spheres was obtained and could be easily individually decoded via flow cytometry. A 2D dot plot from the flow cytometry of a set of mixed spheres with four different codes could also be differentiated, coincident with the overlaid plots of the spheres' corresponding codes but measured individually. These spheres were found to have good stability against washing, photobleaching, and thermal treatment. In addition, a sandwich immunoassay for the detection of goat IgG was performed, and the capability of the encoded spheres to be used in suspension array technology was demonstrated.

Abstract
Microbead-based point-of-care testing (POCT) has demonstrated great promise in translating detection modalities from bench-side to bed-side. This is due to the ease of visualization, high surface area-to-volume ratio of beads for efficient target binding, and efficient encoding capability for simultaneous detection of multiple analytes. This review (with 112 references) summarizes the progress made in the field of fluorescent microbead-based POCT. Following an introduction into the field, a first large section sums up techniques and materials for preparing microbeads, typically of dye-labelled particles, various kinds of quantum dots and upconversion materials. Further subsections cover the encapsulation of nanoparticles into microbeads, decoration of nanoparticles on microbeads, and in situ embedding of nanoparticles during microbead synthesis. A next large section summarizes microbead-based fluorometric POCT, with subsections on detection of nucleic acids, proteins, circulating tumor cells and bacteria. A further section covers emerging POCT based on the use of smartphones or flexible microchips. The last section gives conclusions and an outlook on current challenges and possible solutions. Aside from giving an overview on the state of the art, we expect this article to boost the further development of POCT technology. Graphical Abstract Schematic presentation of the fabrication of microbeads, the detection targets of interest including bacteria, circulating tumor cells (CTCs), protein and nucleic acid, and the emerging point-of-care testing (POCT) platform.

Abstract
Mimicking sensory principles encountered in animals, whereby numerous tastants and odorants are identified based on "pattern"-like sensory inputs that are generated by arrays of sensory cells, allows creating a unique technique that is distinct from conventional chemical sensing systems, as the latter usually require specific recognition of target analytes. Herein, we present a highly discriminative small fluorescent array of block copolymers that can recognize various bioanalytes in a biomimicry manner. These polyethylene glycol/poly-l-lysine block copolymers are functionalized with fluorescein as a fluorescent reporter unit and hydrophobic amino acids as cross-reactive recognition units, which provides the ability to generate fluorescent response patterns unique to proteins and cells. Multivariate analysis on the patterns obtained with an array consisting of solely 3 block copolymers allowed identifying not only 20 proteins and 10 mammalian cells individually but also complex protein mixtures with slightly different compositions. This design guideline for creating a versatile biomimicry sensing system, which is based on the bifunctionalization of polymeric materials, is expected to offer a powerful platform for simple and high-throughput sensing of a wide variety of bioanalytes.

Abstract
The fluorescence method has made great progress in the construction of sensitive sensors but the background fluorescence of the matrix and photobleaching limit its broad application in clinical diagnosis. Here, we propose a digital single virus immunoassay for multiplex virus detection by using fluorescent magnetic multifunctional nanospheres as both capture carriers and signal labels. The superparamagnetism and strong magnetic response ability of nanospheres can realize efficient capture and separation of targets without sample pretreatment. Due to their distinguishable fluorescence imaging and photostability, the nanospheres enable single-particle counting for ultrasensitive multiplexed detection. Furthermore, the integration of digital analysis provided a reliable quantitative strategy for the detection of rare targets. Based on multifunctional nanospheres and digital analysis, a digital single virus immunoassay was proposed for simultaneous detection of H9N2, H1N1, and H7N9 avian influenza virus without complex signal amplification, whose detection limits were 0.02 pg/mL. Owing to its good specificity and anti-interference ability, the method showed great potential in single biomolecules, multiplexed detection, and early diagnosis of diseases.

Abstract
Colloidal inorganic nanoparticles have wide applications in the detection of analytes and in biological assays. A large number of these assays rely on the ability of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs, in the 20 nm diameter size range) to undergo a color change from red to blue upon aggregation. AuNP assays can be based on cross-linking, non-cross linking or unmodified charge-based aggregation. Nucleic acid-based probes, monoclonal antibodies, and molecular-affinity agents can be attached by covalent or non-covalent means. Surface plasmon resonance and SERS techniques can be utilized. Silver NPs also have attractive optical properties (higher extinction coefficient). Combinations of AuNPs and AgNPs in nanocomposites can have additional advantages. Magnetic NPs and ZnO, TiO2 and ZnS as well as insulator NPs including SiO2 can be employed in colorimetric assays, and some can act as peroxidase mimics in catalytic applications. This review covers the synthesis and stabilization of inorganic NPs and their diverse applications in colorimetric and optical assays for analytes related to environmental contamination (metal ions and pesticides), and for early diagnosis and monitoring of diseases, using medically important biomarkers.
