Label-free SERS for rapid identification of interleukin 6 based on intrinsic SERS fingerprint of antibody‑gold nanoparticles conjugate. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:127560. [PMID: 37884230 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127560] [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: 09/01/2023] [Revised: 10/12/2023] [Accepted: 10/18/2023] [Indexed: 10/28/2023]
Abstract
A label-free surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) was designed for sensitive detection of interleukin-6 (IL-6). The sensing element composed of anti-IL-6 antibodies adsorbed on the surface of spherical gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as SERS-active surface. The principle of detection was probing antibody conformational changes using its intrinsic SERS fingerprint after binding to IL-6. Comparison of SERS spectra of antibody before and after binding to IL-6 showed that secondary structure of antibody does not change upon binding to IL-6. Vibrational information from disulfide bonds ν(SS) in antibody structure indicated some changes of geometry around SS bridges as a consequence of the immunocomplex formation. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV-Vis spectroscopy were used to confirm AuNPs conjugation with antibody as well as IL-6 binding to antibody on the surface of AuNPs. The SERS-based immunoassay showed a wide linear range (2.0-1000 pg mL-1) and a high sensitivity with a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 0.91 pg mL-1 (0.04 pM) without using any extrinsic Raman label. UV-Vis spectroscopy was employed as a conventional method for IL-6 detection based on observation of any change in the position of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) band of AuNPs-antibody conjugates with LOD of 10 ng mL-1.

Abstract
The fast, accurate detection of biomolecules, ranging from nucleic acids and small molecules to proteins and cellular secretions, plays an essential role in various biomedical applications. These include disease diagnostics and prognostics, environmental monitoring, public health, and food safety. Aptamer recognition (DNA or RNA) has gained extensive attention for biomolecular detection due to its high selectivity, affinity, reproducibility, and robustness. Concurrently, biosensing with nanoparticles has been widely used for its high carrier capacity, stability and feasibility of incorporating optical and catalytic activity, and enhanced diffusivity. Biosensors based on aptamers and nanoparticles utilize the combination of their advantages and have become a promising technology for detecting of a wide variety of biomolecules with high sensitivity, reliability, specificity, and detection speed. Via various sensing mechanisms, target biomolecules have been quantified in terms of optical (e.g., colorimetric and fluorometric), magnetic, and electrical signals. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in and compare different aptamer-nanoparticle-based biosensors by nanoparticle types and detection mechanisms. We also share our views on the highlights and challenges of the different nanoparticle-aptamer-based biosensors.

Abstract
Recently, miRNAs have been established as promising, specific biomarkers for the diagnosis of many diseases, including osteoarthritis. Herein, we report a ssDNA-based detection method for miRNAs implicated in osteoarthritis, specifically, miR-93 and miR-223. In this study, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were modified with oligonucleotide ssDNA to detect miRNAs circulating in the blood in healthy subjects and patients suffering from osteoarthritis. The detection method was based on the colorimetric and spectrophotometric assessment of biofunctionalized AuNPs upon interaction with the target and their subsequent aggregation. Results showed that these methods could be used to detect easily and rapidly miR-93 but not miR-223 in osteoarthritic patients, and they could potentially be used as a diagnostic tool for blood biomarkers. Visual-based detection as well as spectroscopic methods are simple, rapid, and label-free, due to which they can be used as a diagnostic tool.

Abstract
Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide in the world and, in view of its toxicity, there is a quest for easy-to-use, but reliable methods to detect it in water. To address this issue, we realized a simple, rapid, and highly sensitive immunosensor based on gold coated magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs@Au) to detect glyphosate in tap water. Not only the gold shell provided a sensitive optical transduction of the biological signal - through the shift of the local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) entailed by the nanoparticle aggregation -, but it also allowed us to use an effective photochemical immobilization technique to tether oriented antibodies straight on the nanoparticles surface. While such a feature led to aggregates in which the nanoparticles were at close proximity each other, the magnetic properties of the core offered us an efficient tool to steer the nanoparticles by a rotating magnetic field. As a result, the nanoparticle aggregation in presence of the target could take place at higher rate (enhanced diffusion) with significant improvement in sensitivity. As a matter of fact, the combination of plasmonic and magnetic properties within the same nanoparticles allowed us to realize a colorimetric biosensor with a limit of detection (LOD) of 20 ng∙L-1.

Abstract
Globally, oral cancer kills an estimated 150,000 individuals per year, with 300,000 new cases being diagnosed annually. The high incidence rate of oral cancer among the South-Asian and American populations is majorly due to overuse of tobacco, alcohol, and poor dental hygiene. Additionally, socio-economic issues and lack of general awareness delay the primary screening of the disease. The availability of early screening techniques for oral cancer can help in carving out a niche for accurate disease prognosis and also its prevention. However, conventional diagnostic approaches and therapeutics are still far from optimal. Thus, enhancing the analytical performance of diagnostic platforms in terms of specificity and precision can help in understanding the disease progression paradigm. Fabrication of efficient nanoprobes that are sensitive, noninvasive, cost-effective, and less labor-intensive can reduce the global cancer burden. Recent advances in optical, electrochemical, and spectroscopy-based nano biosensors that employ noble and superparamagnetic nanoparticles, have been proven to be extremely efficient. Further, these sensitive nanoprobes can also be employed for predicting disease relapse after chemotherapy, when the majority of the biomarker load is eliminated. Herein, we provide the readers with a brief summary of conventional and new-age oral cancer detection techniques. A comprehensive understanding of the inherent challenges associated with conventional oral cancer detection techniques is discussed. We also elaborate on how nanoparticles have shown tremendous promise and effectiveness in radically transforming the approach toward oral cancer detection. This article is categorized under: Diagnostic Tools > Biosensing Diagnostic Tools > Diagnostic Nanodevices Diagnostic Tools > In Vitro Nanoparticle-Based Sensing.

Abstract
Point-of-care detection of pathogens is critical to monitor and combat viral infections. The plasmonic coupling assay (PCA) is a homogeneous assay and allows rapid, one-step, and colorimetric detection of intact viruses. However, PCA lacks sufficient sensitivity, necessitating further mechanistic studies to improve the detection performance of PCA. Here, we demonstrate that gold nanourchins (AuNUs) provide significantly improved colorimetric detection of viruses in PCA. Using respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) as a target, we demonstrate that the AuNU-based PCA achieves a detection limit of 1400 PFU/mL, or 17 genome equivalent copies/μL. Mechanistic studies suggest that the improved detection sensitivity arises from the higher virus-binding capability and stronger plasmonic coupling at long distances (∼10 nm) by AuNU probes. Furthermore, we demonstrate the virus detection with a portable smartphone-based spectrometer using RSV-spiked nasal swab clinical samples. Our study uncovers important mechanisms for the sensitive detection of intact viruses in PCA and provides a potential toolkit at the point of care.

Abstract
Coronavirus is an ongoing global pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. Coronavirus disease 2019 known as COVID-19 is the worst pandemic since World War II. The outbreak of COVID-19 had a significant repercussion on the health, economy, politics, and environment, making coronavirus-related issues more complicated and becoming one of the most challenging pandemics of the last century with deadly outcomes and a high rate of the reproduction number. There are thousands of different types - or variants - of COVID circulating across the world. Viruses mutate all the time; it emphasizes the critical need for the designing of efficient vaccines to prevent virus infection, early and fast diagnosis, and effective antiviral and protective therapeutics. In this regard, the use of nanotechnology offers new opportunities for the development of novel strategies in terms of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of COVID-19. This review presents an outline of the platforms developed using plasmonic nanoparticles in the detection, treatment, and prevention of SARS-CoV-2. We select the best strategies in each of these approaches. The properties of metallic plasmon NPs and their relevance in the development of novel point-of-care diagnosis approaches for COVID-19 are highlighted. Also, we discuss the current challenges and the future perspectives looking towards the clinical translation and the commercial aspects of nanotechnology and plasmonic NP-based diagnostic tools and therapy to fight COVID-19 pandemic. The article could be of significance for researchers dedicated to developing suitable plasmonic detection tools and therapy approaches for COVID-19 viruses and future pandemics.

Abstract
The novel coronavirus appeared to be a milder infection initially, but the unexpected outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), commonly called COVID-19, was transmitted all over the world in late 2019 and caused a pandemic. Human health has been disastrously affected by SARS-CoV-2, which is still evolving and causing more serious concerns, leading to the innumerable loss of lives. Thus, this review provides an outline of SARS-CoV-2, of the traditional tools to diagnose SARS-CoV-2, and of the role of emerging nanomaterials with unique properties for fabricating biosensor devices to diagnose SARS-CoV-2. Smart and intelligent nanomaterial-enabled biosensors (nanobiosensors) have already proven their utility for the diagnosis of several viral infections, as various detection strategies based on nanobiosensor devices are already present, and several other methods are also being investigated by researchers for the determination of SARS-CoV-2 disease; however, considerably more is undetermined and yet to be explored. Hence, this review highlights the utility of various nanobiosensor devices for SARS-CoV-2 determination. Further, it also emphasizes the future outlook of nanobiosensing technologies for SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis.

Abstract
Current advances in the fabrication of smart nanomaterials and nanostructured surfaces find wide usage in the biomedical field. In this context, nanosensors based on localized surface plasmon resonance exhibit unprecedented optical features that can be exploited to reduce the costs, analytic times, and need for expensive lab equipment. Moreover, they are promising for the design of nanoplatforms with multiple functionalities (e.g., multiplexed detection) with large integration within microelectronics and microfluidics. In this review, we summarize the most recent design strategies, fabrication approaches, and bio-applications of plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) arranged in colloids, nanoarrays, and nanocomposites. After a brief introduction on the physical principles behind plasmonic nanostructures both as inherent optical detection and as nanoantennas for external signal amplification, we classify the proposed examples in colloid-based devices when plasmonic NPs operate in solution, nanoarrays when they are assembled or fabricated on rigid substrates, and nanocomposites when they are assembled within flexible/polymeric substrates. We highlight the main biomedical applications of the proposed devices and offer a general overview of the main strengths and limitations of the currently available plasmonic nanodevices.

Abstract
In the last few decades, plasmonic colorimetric biosensors raised increasing interest in bioanalytics thanks to their cost-effectiveness, responsiveness, and simplicity as compared to conventional laboratory techniques. Potential high-throughput screening and easy-to-use assay procedures make them also suitable for realizing point of care devices. Nevertheless, several challenges such as fabrication complexity, laborious biofunctionalization, and poor sensitivity compromise their technological transfer from research laboratories to industry and, hence, still hamper their adoption on large-scale. However, newly-developing plasmonic colorimetric biosensors boast impressive sensing performance in terms of sensitivity, dynamic range, limit of detection, reliability, and specificity thereby continuously encouraging further researches. In this review, recently reported plasmonic colorimetric biosensors are discussed with a focus on the following categories: (i) on-platform-based (localized surface plasmon resonance, coupled plasmon resonance and surface lattice resonance); (ii) colloid aggregation-based (label-based and label free); (iii) colloid non-aggregation-based (nanozyme, etching-based and growth-based).

Abstract
An inexpensive virus detection scheme with high sensitivity and specificity is desirable for broad applications such as the COVID-19 virus. In this article, we introduce the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) principle on the aggregation of antigen-coated gold nanoparticles (GNPs) to detect SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid (N) proteins. Experiments show this technique can produce results observable by the naked eye in 5 min with a LOD (Limits of Detection) of 150 ng/ml for the N proteins. A comprehensive numerical model of the LSPR effect on the aggregation of GNPs has been developed to identify the key parameters in the reaction processes. The color-changing behaviors can be readily utilized to detect the existence of the virus while the quantitative concentration value is characterized with the assistance of an optical spectrometer. A parameter defined as the ratio of the light absorption intensity at the upper visible band region of 700 nm to the light absorption intensity at the peak optical absorption spectrum of the GNPs at 530 nm is found to have a linear relationship with respect to the N protein concentrations. As such, this scheme could be utilized as an inexpensive testing methodology for applications in POC (Point-of-Care) diagnostics to combat current and future virus-induced pandemics.

Abstract
A rapid detection test for SARS-CoV-2 is urgently required to monitor virus spread and containment. Here, we describe a test that uses nanoprobes, which are gold nanoparticles functionalized with an aptamer specific to the spike membrane protein of SARS-CoV-2. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay confirms aptamer binding with the spike protein on gold surfaces. Protein recognition occurs by adding a coagulant, where nanoprobes with no bound protein agglomerate while those with sufficient bound protein do not. Using plasmon absorbance spectra, the nanoprobes detect 16 nM and higher concentrations of spike protein in phosphate-buffered saline. The time-varying light absorbance is examined at 540 nm to determine the critical coagulant concentration required to agglomerates the nanoprobes, which depends on the protein concentration. This approach detects 3540 genome copies/μl of inactivated SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
Aminoglycoside (AMG) antibiotics are being applied to treat infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria, mainly in livestock, and are prescribed only in severe cases because of their adverse impacts on human health and the environment. Monitoring antibiotic residues in dairy products relies on the accessibility of portable and efficient analytical techniques. Presently, high-throughput screening techniques have been proposed to detect several antimicrobial drugs having identical structural and functional features. The L-histidine functionalized gold nanoparticles (His@AuNPs) do not form a complex with other tested antibiotic classes but show high selectivity for AMG antibiotics. We used ligand-induced aggregation of His@AuNPs as a rapid and sensitive localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) assay for AMG antibiotics, producing longitudinal extinction shifts at 660 nm. Herein, we explore the practical application of His@AuNPs to detect streptomycin spiked in water, milk, and whey fraction of milk with nanomolar level sensitivity. The ability of the analytical method to recognize target analytes sensitively and rapidly is of great significance to perform monitoring, thus would certainly reassure widespread use of AMG antibiotics. The biosynthesis of hybrid organic–inorganic metal nanoparticles like His@AuNPs with desired size distribution, stability, and specific host–guest recognition proficiency, would further facilitate applications in various other fields.

Abstract
This study describes the biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using the extract of Ganoderma lucidum in the buffer zone of Bach Ma National Park, Vietnam, as a reducing and protecting agent using microwave-assisted synthesis. The as-synthesized AuNPs were characterized using transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Compared to the conventional method, the proposed microwave-assisted method produced AuNPs having a small size of 22.07 ± 8.11 nm in a short synthesis time period. In excess NaBH4, the as-prepared AuNPs demonstrated good catalytic activity for reducing 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol. Furthermore, AuNPs demonstrated improved reusability after four cycles. The pseudo-first-order apparent rate constant was estimated to be 0.086 min-1 at 303 K. Both the catalytic mechanism and reaction path of reduction were proposed. Moreover, activation energy and thermodynamic parameters, including activation enthalpy and entropy, were examined.

SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2021; 261:120004.

Abstract
Iohexol (IHO), as one of iodinated X-ray contrast, is often used as not only a chemical marker for tracking wastewater contamination in aquatic environment, but also an ideal glomerular filtration rate marker for explorating kidney disease. To these aims, it is important to establish reliable, fast, and cheap methods to detect IHO in environmental and biological samples. This work describes for the first time the development of a selective, sensitive and reliable colorimetric sensing assay for the fast determination of IHO in environmental and biological samples based on 3-aminophenylboronic acid (3-APBA) mediated aggregation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). In this approach, 3-APBA can assemble on the AuNPs surface through electrostatic interaction between its amino groups with the negatively charged citrate stabilizer of AuNPs to form AuNP@3-APBA. Subsequently, the aggregation and visual color change of the assembled AuNP@3-APBA are induced by the covalent reaction between boronic acid ligands of 3-APBA and cis-diols of IHO. The developed assay presented a very simple operating procedure and a rapid analysis time of around 10 min. The developed assay also exhibited good selectivity and a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.005 mM for detecting IHO. Moreover, the developed assay showed comparable accuracy and precision to the high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector (HPLC-DAD) method when used for the rapid determination of IHO in river water and human urine samples. The recoveries of IHO at three spiking levels were in the range of 91.5-106.3% with relative standard deviation (RSD) values below 6.39%.

Abstract
The development of reliable and highly sensitive methods for heavy metal detection is a critical task for protecting the environment and human health. In this study, a qualitative colorimetric sensor that used mercaptosuccinic-acid-functionalized gold nanoparticles (MSA-AuNPs) to detect trace amounts of Fe(III) ions was developed. MSA-AuNPs were prepared using a one-step reaction, where mercaptosuccinic acid (MSA) was used for both stabilization, which was provided by the presence of two carboxyl groups, and functionalization of the gold nanoparticle (AuNP) surface. The chelating properties of MSA in the presence of Fe(III) ions and the concentration-dependent aggregation of AuNPs showed the effectiveness of MSA-AuNPs as a sensing probe with the use of an absorbance ratio of A530/A650 as an analytical signal in the developed qualitative assay. Furthermore, the obvious Fe(III)-dependent change in the color of the MSA-AuNP solution from red to gray-blue made it possible to visually assess the metal content in a concentration above the detection limit with an assay time of less than 1 min. The detection limit that was achieved (23 ng/mL) using the proposed colorimetric sensor is more than 10 times lower than the maximum allowable concentration for drinking water defined by the World Health Organization (WHO). The MSA-AuNPs were successfully applied for Fe(III) determination in tap, spring, and drinking water, with a recovery range from 89.6 to 126%. Thus, the practicality of the MSA-AuNP-based sensor and its potential for detecting Fe(III) in real water samples were confirmed by the rapidity of testing and its high sensitivity and selectivity in the presence of competing metal ions.

Abstract
Ensuring consistently high quality and safety is paramount to food producers and consumers alike. Wet chemistry and microbiological methods provide accurate results, but those methods are not conducive to rapid, onsite testing needs. Hence, many efforts have focused on rapid testing for food quality and safety, including the development of various biosensors. Herein, we focus on a group of biosensors, which provide visually recognizable colorimetric signals within minutes and can be used onsite. Although there are different ways to achieve visual color-change signals, we restrict our focus on sensors that exploit the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) phenomenon of metal nanoparticles, primarily gold and silver nanoparticles. The typical approach in the design of LSPR biosensors is to conjugate biorecognition ligands on the surface of metal nanoparticles and allow the ligands to specifically recognize and bind the target analyte. This ligand-target binding reaction leads to a change in color of the test sample and a concomitant shift in the ultraviolet-visual absorption peak. Various designs applying this and other signal generation schemes are reviewed with an emphasis on those applied for evaluating factors that compromise the quality and safety of food and agricultural products. The LSPR-based colorimetric biosensing platform is a promising technology for enhancing food quality and safety. Aided by the advances in nanotechnology, this sensing technique lends itself easily for further development on field-deployable platforms such as smartphones for onsite and end-user applications.

Abstract
Iodine-131 meta-iodobenzylguanidine (131I-mIBG) has been utilized as a standard treatment to minimize adverse side effects by targeting therapies to bind to the norepinephrine transporter (NET) expressed on 90% of neuroblastoma cells. However, only a minority of patients who receive 131I-mIBG radiotherapy have clinical responses, and these are usually not curative. In this study, novel ligand-conjugated gold nanoparticles (GNPs) based on mIBG were synthesized and evaluated biologically with neuroblastoma cells in vitro. To induce specific internalization to the tumor cells and utilize it as a model for radioenhancement, 127I-modified mIBG was successfully synthesized and grafted covalently to the surface of carboxylated PEG-GNPs. 49.28% of the novel mIBG derivative was grafted on carboxylated PEG-GNPs. The particles were stable and not toxic to the normal fibroblast cell line, L929, even at the highest concentration tested (1013 NPs per mL) at 24, 48, and 72 h. Moreover, the cellular uptake of the model was decreased significantly in the presence of a NET inhibitor, suggesting that there was specific internalization into neuroblastoma cells line (SH-SY5Y) via the NET. Therefore, this model provides useful guidance toward the design of gold nanomaterials to enhance the efficiency of 131I-mIBG treatment in neuroblastoma patients. However, the investigation of radio-therapeutic efficiency after radioisotope 131I substitution will be further conducted in a radiation safety laboratory using an animal model.

Abstract
A potential cancer antigen (Ag), protein-phosphatase-1-gamma-2 (PP1γ2), with a restricted expression in testis and sperms has been identified as a biomarker specific to cervical cancer (CaCx). Detection of this cancer biomarker antigen (NCB-Ag) in human urine opens up the possibility of noninvasive detection of CaCx to supplement the dreaded and invasive Pap-smear test. A colorimetric response of an assembly of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) has been employed for the quantitative, noninvasive, and point-of-care-testing of CaCx in the urine. In order to fabricate the immunosensor, Au NPs of sizes ∼5-20 nm have been chemically modified with a linker, 3,3'-di-thio-di-propionic-acid-di(n-hydroxy-succinimide-ester) (DTSP) to attach the antibody (Ab) specific to the NCB-Ag. Interestingly, the addition of Ag to the composite of Ab-DTSP-Au NPs leads to a significant hypsochromic shift due to a localized surface plasmon resonance phenomenon, which originates from the specific epitope-paratope interaction between the NCB-Ag and Ab-DTSP-Au NPs. The variations in the absorbance and wavelength shift during such attachments of different concentrations of NCB-Ag on the Ab-DTSP-Au NPs composite have been employed as a calibration to identify NCB-Ag in human urine. An in-house prototype has been assembled by integrating a light-emitting diode of a narrow range wavelength in one side of a cuvette in which the reaction has been performed while a sensitive photodetector to the other side to transduce the transmitted signal associated with the loading of NCB-Ag in the Ab-DTSP-Au NPs composite. The proposed immunosensing platform has been tested against other standard proteins to ensure noninterference alongside proving the proof-for-specificity of the NCB detection.

Abstract
Over the last 30 years, optical biosensors based on nanostructured materials have obtained increasing interest since they allow the screening of a wide variety of biomolecules with high specificity, low limits of detection, and great sensitivity. Among them, flexible optical platforms have the advantage of adapting to non-planar surfaces, suitable for in vivo and real-time monitoring of diseases and assessment of food safety. In this review, we summarize the newest and most advanced platforms coupling optically active materials (noble metal nanoparticles) and flexible substrates giving rise to hybrid nanomaterials and/or nanocomposites, whose performances are comparable to the ones obtained with hard substrates (e.g., glass and semiconductors). We focus on localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR)-based and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-based biosensors. We show that large-scale, cost-effective plasmonic platforms can be realized with the currently available techniques and we emphasize the open issues associated with this topic.

Abstract
The coating of proteins and lipids around the surface of the nanoparticles is known as "protein corona" and "lipid corona", respectively, which have promising biomedical applications. While protein corona formation is well-known, the lipid corona is relatively new and its stability is yet to be explored. In the present contribution, we report a novel lipid corona formation and its underlying mechanism using aromatic amino acid-functionalized gold nanoparticles (Au-AA NPs) as a template by means of spectroscopic (steady-state UV-visible and fluorescence) and imaging (CLSM, HR-TEM, and AFM) techniques. Our study demonstrates that in the presence of high lipid concentration Au-AA NPs intrinsically tow the lipid molecules from the lipid vesicles and decorate themselves by lipid leading to unique lipid corona formation. In contrast, at low lipid concentration Au-AA NPs undergo lipid-induced aggregation. The lipid-nanoparticle interaction is a time-dependent phenomenon and depends on the surface charge of both the lipid and the Au-AA NPs. The HR-TEM analysis indicates that the partial lipid coating is an intermediate step of lipid-induced aggregation and lipid corona formation of the Au-AA NPs. Significantly, we found that the colloidal property of these lipid-coated nanoparticles (lipid corona) is immune to resist extreme harsh conditions, that is, high acidic pH, several repetitive freeze-thaw cycles, and high salt concentration. The extra stability of Au-AA NPs upon the formation of lipid corona allows us to introduce new engineered nanoparticles for future prospective.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) can be produced by well-assessed synthesis methods and can show a high surface area-to-volume ratio, chemical inertness, high electron density, strong optical absorption as well as low toxicity. AuNPs have been conjugated with many different biomolecules for a wide range of biomedical applications. These applications require an increasingly complex level of surface decoration in order to achieve stability, efficacy, and specific functionalities. This chapter provides detailed instructions about the synthesis of AuNPs and bioconjugation strategies in order to obtain stable hybrid nanomaterials. The described biofunctionalization procedures are based on carbodiimide chemistry and ligand-exchange methods allowing the conjugation of Lys-peptide or Cys-peptide, respectively, to the AuNPs surface.

Ultrasensitive antibody-aptamer plasmonic biosensor for malaria biomarker detection in whole blood. Nat Commun 2020; 11:6134.

Abstract
Development of plasmonic biosensors combining reliability and ease of use is still a challenge. Gold nanoparticle arrays made by block copolymer micelle nanolithography (BCMN) stand out for their scalability, cost-effectiveness and tunable plasmonic properties, making them ideal substrates for fluorescence enhancement. Here, we describe a plasmon-enhanced fluorescence immunosensor for the specific and ultrasensitive detection of Plasmodium falciparum lactate dehydrogenase (PfLDH)—a malaria marker—in whole blood. Analyte recognition is realized by oriented antibodies immobilized in a close-packed configuration via the photochemical immobilization technique (PIT), with a top bioreceptor of nucleic acid aptamers recognizing a different surface of PfLDH in a sandwich conformation. The combination of BCMN and PIT enabled maximum control over the nanoparticle size and lattice constant as well as the distance of the fluorophore from the sensing surface. The device achieved a limit of detection smaller than 1 pg/mL (<30 fM) with very high specificity without any sample pretreatment. This limit of detection is several orders of magnitude lower than that found in malaria rapid diagnostic tests or even commercial ELISA kits. Thanks to its overall dimensions, ease of use and high-throughput analysis, the device can be used as a substrate in automated multi-well plate readers and improve the efficiency of conventional fluorescence immunoassays. Reliable plasmonic biosensors with high throughput and ease of use are highly sought after. Here, the authors report a plasmon-enhanced fluorescence antibody-aptamer biosensor based on a gold nanoparticle array, and demonstrate its use for effective specific detection of a malaria marker, at femtomolar level, in whole blood.

Abstract
Mass testing is fundamental to face the pandemic caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 discovered at the end of 2019. To this aim, it is necessary to establish reliable, fast, and cheap tools to detect viral particles in biological material so to identify the people capable of spreading the infection. We demonstrate that a colorimetric biosensor based on gold nanoparticle (AuNP) interaction induced by SARS-CoV-2 lends itself as an outstanding tool for detecting viral particles in nasal and throat swabs. The extinction spectrum of a colloidal solution of multiple viral-target gold nanoparticles-AuNPs functionalized with antibodies targeting three surface proteins of SARS-CoV-2 (spike, envelope, and membrane)-is red-shifted in few minutes when mixed with a solution containing the viral particle. The optical density of the mixed solution measured at 560 nm was compared to the threshold cycle (Ct) of a real-time PCR (gold standard for detecting the presence of viruses) finding that the colorimetric method is able to detect very low viral load with a detection limit approaching that of the real-time PCR. Since the method is sensitive to the infecting viral particle rather than to its RNA, the achievements reported here open a new perspective not only in the context of the current and possible future pandemics, but also in microbiology, as the biosensor proves itself to be a powerful though simple tool for measuring the viral particle concentration.

Abstract
Surface functionalization is a key step in biosensing since it is the basis of an effective analyte recognition. Among all the bioreceptors, antibodies (Abs) play a key role thanks to their superior specificity, although the available immobilization strategies suffer from several drawbacks. When gold is the interacting surface, the recently introduced Photochemical Immobilization Technique (PIT) has been shown to be a quick, easy-to-use and very effective method to tether Abs oriented upright by means of thiols produced via tryptophan mediated disulphide bridge reduction. Although the molecular mechanism of this process is quite well identified, the detailed morphology of the immobilized antibodies is still elusive due to inherent difficulties related to the microscopy imaging of Abs. The combination of Mass Spectrometry, Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy and Ellman's assay demonstrates that Abs irradiated under the conditions in which PIT is realized show only two effective disulphide bridges available for binding. They are located in the constant region of the immunoglobulin light chain so that the most likely position Ab assumes is side-on, i.e. with one Fab (i.e. the antigen binding portion of the antibody) exposed to the solution. This is not a limitation of the recognition efficiency in view of the intrinsic flexibility of the Ab structure, which makes the free Fab able to sway in the solution, a feature of great importance in many biosensing applications.

Abstract
The chances of curing and reducing the adverse effect of cancer partly lie in early detection. Colorimetric sensor-based technique show promising results since the target is detected with high sensitivity but without the use of advanced/costly techniques through a simple visual color change. In most cases, gold nanoparticles (Au Nps) functionalized with biomolecules complementary to target analyte are used for colorimetric detection. The interaction of functionalized Au Nps with target analytes induce aggregation or dispersion where the color of the solution changes from red to blue or blue to red respectively, which can be visualized by the naked eyes. Such a facile technique has a high commercial viability and therefore, understanding its concept is essential. Here, some of the reported studies are discussed technically for better understanding about the invitro colorimetric detection of cancer.

Abstract
Conjugates of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) and antibodies are widely used in various fields of biochemistry and microbiology. However, the procedure for obtaining such conjugates remains precarious, and the properties of conjugates differ significantly for different antibody clones. One of the most common problems is the aggregation of GNPs in the course of their conjugation with antibodies. This article considers an example of the conjugation of monoclonal antibodies with non-stable aggregating product. The composition of the antibody preparation was studied using electrophoresis, asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation, and ultracentrifugation. It was shown that the component that causes the aggregation of the GNPs is the light chains of immunoglobulins that appear due to the spontaneous decay of the antibodies. After separation of the fraction with a molecular weight of less than 30 kDa, stable conjugates of antibodies with GNPs were obtained. The high functional activity of the obtained conjugates was confirmed by immunochromatography.

Abstract
The development of a simple and low cost electrochemical impedance immunosensor based on screen printed gold electrode for rapid detection of Escherichia coli in water is reported. The immunosensor is fabricated by immobilizing anti-E. coli antibodies onto a gold surface in a covalent way by the photochemical immobilization technique, a simple procedure able to bind antibodies upright onto gold surfaces. Impedance spectra are recorded in 0.01 M phosphate buffer solution (PBS) containing 10 mM Fe(CN)63−/Fe(CN)64− as redox probe. The Nyquist plots can be modelled with a modified Randles circuit, identifying the charge transfer resistance Rct as the relevant parameter after the immobilization of antibodies, the blocking with BSA and the binding of E. coli. The introduction of a standard amplification procedure leads to a significant enhancement of the impedance increase, which allows one to measure E. coli in drinking water with a limit of detection of 3 × 101 CFU mL−1 while preserving the rapidity of the method that requires only 1 h to provide a “yes/no” response. Additionally, by applying the Langmuir adsorption model, we are able to describe the change of Rct in terms of the “effective” electrode, which is modified by the detection of the analyte whose microscopic conducting properties can be quantified.

Abstract
A gold nanoparticle (AuNP) has a localized surface plasmon resonance peak depending on its size, which is often utilized for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). To obtain information on the cholesterol (Chol)-incorporated lipid membranes by SERS, AuNPs (5, 100 nm) were first functionalized by 1-octanethiol and then modified by lipids (AuNP@lipid). In membrane surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (MSERS), both signals from 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) and Chol molecules were enhanced, depending on preparation conditions (size of AuNPs and lipid/AuNP ratio). The enhancement factors (EFs) were calculated to estimate the efficiency of AuNPs on Raman enhancement. The size of AuNP100nm@lipid was 152.0 ± 12.8 nm, which showed an surface enhancement Raman spectrum with an EF2850 value of 111 ± 9. The size of AuNP5nm@lipid prepared with a lipid/AuNP ratio of 1.38 × 104 (lipid molecule/particle) was 275.3 ± 20.2 nm, which showed the highest enhancement with an EF2850 value of 131 ± 21. On the basis of fluorescent probe analyses, the membrane fluidity and polarity of AuNP@lipid were almost similar to DOPC/Chol liposome, indicating an intact membrane of DOPC/Chol after modification with AuNPs. Finally, the membrane properties of AuNP@lipid systems were also discussed on the basis of the obtained MSERS signals.

Abstract
Biosensors are easy-to-use and cost-effective devices that are emerging as an attractive tool, not only in settling diagnosis or in disease monitoring, but also in mass screening tests, a timely topic that impacts on daily life of the whole society. Nanotechnologies lend themselves to the development of highly sensitive devices whose realization has become a very interdisciplinary topic. Relying on the enhancement of the fluorescence signal detected at the surface of patterned gold nanoparticles, we report the behavior of an analytical device in detecting immunoglobulins in real urine samples that shows a limit of detection of approximately 8 μg/L and a linear range of 10-100 μg/L well below the detection limit of nephelometric method, which is the reference method for this analysis. These performances have been reached thanks to an effective surface functionalization technique and can be improved even more if superydrophobic features of the substrate we produce will be exploited. Since the analyte recognition is realized by antibodies the specificity is very high and, in fact, no interference has been detected by other compounds also present in the real urine samples. The device has been assessed on serum samples by comparing IgG concentrations values obtained by the biosensor with those provided by a nephelometer. In this step we found that our approach allows the analysis of the whole blood without any pretreatment; moreover, it is inherently extendable to the analysis of most biochemical markers in biological fluids.
