Abstract
BACKGROUNDCOVID-19 convalescent plasma (CCP) virus-specific antibody levels that translate into recipient posttransfusion antibody levels sufficient to prevent disease progression are not defined.METHODSThis secondary analysis correlated donor and recipient antibody levels to hospitalization risk among unvaccinated, seronegative CCP recipients within the outpatient, double-blind, randomized clinical trial that compared CCP to control plasma. The majority of COVID-19 CCP arm hospitalizations (15/17, 88%) occurred in this unvaccinated, seronegative subgroup. A functional cutoff to delineate recipient high versus low posttransfusion antibody levels was established by 2 methods: (i) analyzing virus neutralization-equivalent anti-Spike receptor-binding domain immunoglobulin G (anti-S-RBD IgG) responses in donors or (ii) receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.RESULTSSARS-CoV-2 anti-S-RBD IgG antibody was volume diluted 21.3-fold into posttransfusion seronegative recipients from matched donor units. Virus-specific antibody delivered was approximately 1.2 mg. The high-antibody recipients transfused early (symptom onset within 5 days) had no hospitalizations. A CCP-recipient analysis for antibody thresholds correlated to reduced hospitalizations found a statistical significant association between early transfusion and high antibodies versus all other CCP recipients (or control plasma), with antibody cutoffs established by both methods-donor-based virus neutralization cutoffs in posttransfusion recipients (0/85 [0%] versus 15/276 [5.6%]; P = 0.03) or ROC-based cutoff (0/94 [0%] versus 15/267 [5.4%]; P = 0.01).CONCLUSIONIn unvaccinated, seronegative CCP recipients, early transfusion of plasma units in the upper 30% of study donors' antibody levels reduced outpatient hospitalizations. High antibody level plasma units, given early, should be reserved for therapeutic use.TRIAL REGISTRATIONClinicalTrials.gov NCT04373460.FUNDINGDepartment of Defense (W911QY2090012); Defense Health Agency; Bloomberg Philanthropies; the State of Maryland; NIH (3R01AI152078-01S1, U24TR001609-S3, 1K23HL151826NIH); the Mental Wellness Foundation; the Moriah Fund; Octapharma; the Healthnetwork Foundation; the Shear Family Foundation; the NorthShore Research Institute; and the Rice Foundation.

Abstract
Highly sensitive and facile detection of low levels of protein markers is of great significance for the early diagnosis and efficacy monitoring of diseases. Herein, aided by an efficient tyramine-signal amplification (TSA) mechanism, we wish to report a simple but ultrasensitive immunoassay with signal readout on a portable personal glucose meter (PGM). In this study, the bioconjugates of tyramine and invertase (Tyr-inv), which act as the critical bridge to convert and amplify the protein concentration information into glucose, are prepared following a click chemistry reaction. Then, in the presence of a target protein, the sandwich immunoreaction between the immobilized capture antibody, the target protein, and the horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated detection antibody is specifically performed in a 96-well microplate. Subsequently, the specifically loaded HRP-conjugated detection antibodies will catalyze the amplified deposition of a large number of Tyr-inv molecules onto adjacent proteins through highly efficient TSA. Then, the deposited invertase, whose dosage can faithfully reflect the original concentration of the target protein, can efficiently convert sucrose to glucose. The amount of finally produced glucose is simply quantified by the PGM, realizing the highly sensitive detection of trace protein markers such as the carcinoembryonic antigen and alpha fetoprotein antigen at the fg/mL level. This method is simple, cost-effective, and ultrasensitive without the requirement of sophisticated instruments or specialized laboratory equipment, which may provide a universal and promising technology for highly sensitive immunoassay for in vitro diagnosis of diseases.

Abstract
The recent surge of effort in nucleic-acid-based electrochemical (EC) sensors has been fruitful, yet there remains a need for more generalizable EC platforms for sensing multiple classes of clinically relevant targets. We recently reported a nucleic acid nanostructure for simple, economical, and more generalizable EC readout of a range of analytes, including small molecules, peptides, proteins, and antibodies. The nanostructure is built through on-electrode enzymatic ligation of three oligonucleotides for attachment, binding, and signaling. However, the generalizable detection of larger proteins remains a challenge. Here, we adapted the sensor to quantify larger proteins in a more generic manner through conjugating the protein's minimized antibody-binding epitope to the central DNA strand. This concept was verified using creatine kinase (CK-MM), a biomarker of muscle damage and several disorders for which rapid clinical sensing is important. DNA-epitope conjugates permitted a competitive immunoassay for the CK protein at the electrode via square-wave voltammetry (SWV). Sensing through a signal-off mechanism, the anti-CK antibody limit of detection (LOD) was 5 nM with a response time as low as 3 min. Antibody displacement by native protein analytes gave a signal-on response with the CK sensing range from the LOD of 14 nM up to 100 nM, overlapping with the normal (nonelevated) human clinical range (3-37 nM), and the sensor was validated in 98% human serum. While a need for improved DNA-epitope conjugate purification was identified, overall, this approach allows the quantification of a generic protein- or peptide-binding antibody and should facilitate future quantitative EC readouts of clinically relevant proteins that were previously inaccessible to EC techniques.

Abstract
It is of great significance for the analysis of multiple biomarkers because a single biomarker is difficult to accurately achieve early diagnosis, disease course monitoring, and prognosis evaluation. Herein, a luminescence thermosensitive hydrogel was synthesized by radical polymerization using a methacrylic acid derivative monomer of luminol (LuMA) as luminescent, N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) as thermosensitive monomer, and acrydite-oligonucleotides [dopamine (DA) aptamer, DNA C1, and DNA C2] as recognition elements. The combined DA based on the affinity interaction between the DA and the aptamer on the hydrogel polymer chain was electrochemically oxidized to dopamine quinone during the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) scanning, which effectively quenched the ECL signal of LuMA due to the resonance energy transfer (RET). In addition, the thermosensitive hydrogel showed swelling-collapse characteristics when the temperature was below and above the volume phase transition temperature. Undergoing the collapse process initiated by the temperature, the RET efficiency was further enhanced due to the shortened distance between the energy donor and acceptor, showing a 1.4 times signal amplification and achieving sensitive detection of DA with a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.7 × 10-10 M. For a proof of concept application, coupled with the target-induced release of DA from the DNA-magnetic beads bioconjugations based on duplex-specific nuclease (DSN)-assisted target recycling amplification strategy and DNAzyme cleavage reaction, this ECL-RET approach was successfully used to evaluate multiple targets including miRNA-141 and MUC1 with the LOD of 2.5 aM and 1.6 fg/mL, respectively. The excellent performances of the versatile and robust ECL-RET hydrogel in multiple target sensing showed potential applications in clinical diagnosis and disease therapeutic assay.

Abstract
Food safety has emerged as a significant concern for global public health and sustainable development. The development of analytical tools capable of rapidly, conveniently, and sensitively detecting food safety hazards is imperative. Over the past few decades, personal glucose meters (PGMs), characterized by their rapid response, low cost, and high degree of commercialization, have served as portable signal output devices extensively utilized in the construction of biosensors. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the mechanism underlying the construction of PGM-based biosensors, which consists of three fundamental components: recognition, signal transduction, and signal output. It also detailedly enumerates available recognition and signal transduction elements, and their modes of integration. Then, a multitude of instances is examined to present the latest advancements in the application of PGMs in food safety detection, including targets such as pathogenic bacteria, mycotoxins, agricultural and veterinary drug residues, heavy metal ions, and illegal additives. Finally, the challenges and prospects of PGM-based biosensors are highlighted, aiming to offer valuable references for the iterative refinement of detection techniques and provide a comprehensive framework and inspiration for further investigations.

Abstract
The demand for the ultrasensitive and rapid quantitative analysis of trace target analytes has become increasingly urgent. However, the sensitivity of traditional immunoassay-based detection methods is limited due to the contradiction between molecular recognition and signal amplification caused by the size effect of nanoprobes. To address this dilemma, we describe versatile M13 phage-assisted immunorecognition and signal transduction spatiotemporal separation that enable ultrasensitive light-scattering immunoassay systems for the quantitative detection of low-abundance target analytes. The newly developed immunoassay strategy combines the M13 phage-assisted light scattering signal fluctuations of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with gold in situ growth (GISG) technology. Given the synergy of M13 phage-mediated leverage effect and GISG-amplified light scattering signal modulation, the practical detection capability of this strategy can achieve the ultrasensitive and rapid quantification of ochratoxin A and alpha-fetoprotein in real samples at the subfemtomolar level within 50 min, displaying about 4 orders of magnitude enhancement in sensitivity compared with traditional phage-based ELISA. To further improve the sensitivity of our immunoassay, the biotin-streptavidin amplification scheme is implemented to detect severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 spike protein down to the attomolar range. Overall, this study offers a direction for ultrasensitive quantitative detection of target analytes by the synergistic combination of M13 phage-mediated leverage effect and GISG-amplified light scattering signal modulation.

Abstract
The emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant altered patient risk profiles and shifted the trajectory of the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, sensitive serological tests capable of analyzing patient IgG responses to multiple variants in parallel are highly desirable. Here, we present an adaptable serological test based on yeast surface display and serum biopanning that characterizes immune profiles against SARS-CoV-2 Wuhan (B lineage), Delta (B.1.617.2 lineage), and Omicron (B.1.1.529 lineage) receptor-binding domain (RBD) variants. We examined IgG titers from 30 serum samples from COVID-19-convalescent and vaccinated cohorts in Switzerland, and assessed the relative affinity of polyclonal serum IgG for RBD domains. We demonstrate that serum IgGs from patients recovered from severe COVID-19 between March-June 2021 bound tightly to both original Wuhan and Delta RBD variants, but failed to recognize Omicron RBDs, representing an affinity loss of >10- to 20-fold. Our yeast immunoassay is easily tailored, expandable and parallelized with newly emerging RBD variants.

ACS APPLIED POLYMER MATERIALS 2023; 5:2195-2202. [PMID: 37552750 PMCID: PMC9969888 DOI: 10.1021/acsapm.2c02187] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2022] [Accepted: 02/15/2023] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
The efficacy of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination is closely related to the serum levels of SARS-CoV-2-neutralizing antibodies (NAb) that bind to the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. Therefore, the rapid and quantitative measurement of SARS-CoV-2 NAb in the sera of vaccinated individuals is essential to develop an effective vaccine and further achieve population immunity, that is, herd immunity. The plaque reduction neutralization test, the gold standard for NAb effectiveness in serological tests, is accurate but requires biosafety level 3 facilities because of the use of the virus, which hampers its application in common laboratories and clinical practice. Here, we developed a bioresponsive nanogel-based surface plasmon resonance (nSPR) platform that detects SARS-CoV-2 NAb in clinical samples without complicated pretreatment. We found that multivalent protein binding (MPB) between the nanogel-conjugated RBD protein and SARS-CoV-2 NAb yields significantly enhanced SPR signals compared to the nonspecific interference from serum proteins in the nSPR assay. The excellence of our nanogel-based SARS-CoV-2 NAb test is due to its selectivity for NAb, with resistance to all other proteins, allowing the rapid detection and quantification of NAbs in each individual. Importantly, this nSPR assay provides a NAb detection platform for easier and safer COVID-19 vaccination strategies.

Abstract
We report here the development of an electrochemical cell-free biosensor for antibody detection directly in complex sample matrices with high sensitivity and specificity that is particularly suitable for point-of-care applications. The approach is based on the use of programmable antigen-conjugated gene circuits that, upon recognition of a specific target antibody, trigger the cell-free transcription of an RNA sequence that can be consequently detected using a redox-modified probe strand immobilized to a disposable electrode. The platform couples the features of high sensitivity and specificity of cell-free systems and the strength of cost-effectiveness and possible miniaturization provided by the electrochemical detection. We demonstrate the sensitive, specific, selective, and multiplexed detection of three different antibodies, including the clinically-relevant Anti-HA antibody.

Abstract
Existing nucleic acid and antigen profiling methods for COVID-19 diagnosis fail to simultaneously meet the demands in sensitivity and detection speed, hampering them from being a comprehensive way for epidemic prevention and control. Thus, effective screening of COVID-19 requires a simple, fast, and sensitive method. Here, we report a rapid assay for ultrasensitive and highly specific profiling of COVID-19 associated antigen. The assay is based on a binding-induced DNA assembly on a nanoparticle scaffold that acts by fluorescence translation. By binding two aptamers to a target protein, the protein brings the DNA regions into close proximity, forming closed-loop conformation and resulting in the formation of the fluorescence translator. Using this assay, saliva nucleocapsid protein (N protein) has been profiled quantitatively by converting the N protein molecule information into a fluorescence signal. The fluorescence intensity is enhanced with increasing N protein concentration caused by the metal enhanced fluorescence using a simple, specific, and fast profiling assay within 3 min. On this basis, the assay enables a high recognition ratio and a limit of detection down to 150 fg mL-1. It is 1-2 orders of magnitude lower than existing commercial antigen ELISA kits, which is comparative to or superior than the PCR based nucleic acid testing. Owing to its rapidity, ultrasensitivity, as well as easy operation, it holds great promise as a tool for screening of COVID-19 and other epidemics such as monkey pox.
